Brexit Supporting Newspapers stuck in a bubble

 Actually there is only time to look at Sunday Times. During the week I had tweeted to Tim Shipman as he thought it strange that Tobias Ellwood was promoting the Single Market. This is not a way to get Conservative support at this time. Shipman reports that #No10Sources see this as a positive at this time. Tom Newton Dunn suggests any dispute is about personality not policy. But maybe some are taking a longer view. Will the Conservatives always support #Brexit ? Time Bale , Professor of Politics at Queen Mary guests in Observer. He claims the Conservatives flirted with populism but in backing referendum and hard withdrawal "it badly overshot". So maybe some have already accepted the Conservatives will lose the next election or that PM will stay for a while. There may be several shifts. Tim Shipman has written very informed books on previous events. There may be more info waiting on the next book. But my guess is that the Brexit supporting newspapers will stay with the cope of story that only Brexit supporters have any way of surviving in their own world.
