The British prime minister’s official Twitter account (15,400 tweets so far) hasn’t used the word “Brexit” since the UK left the EU on January 31. Boris Johnson’s personal account has given Brexit just one passing mention since February 1.

He would have loved his planned rewriting of the Withdrawal Agreement, in breach of international law, to have passed off quietly, as a boring wonkish non-event, instead of causing the fuss it has. As talks with the EU approach their climax, Johnson seems keen to gloss over the biggest British policy change of our generation.

Similarly, Donald Trump has gone strangely quiet on his old promises to bring back factory jobs, eliminate the federal debt, replace Obamacare with something much better and stop China “raping” the US on trade.
