From Robo's NYT piece.
"Britain is in this mess principally because the Brexiteers — led largely by Mr. Johnson — sold the country a series of lies in the lead up to the June 2016 referendum on leaving the European Union. They did so because neither Mr. Johnson nor his fellow leader of the Leave campaign, Michael Gove, intended, wanted or expected to win."

It appeared in NYT but is just a Brit Left Wing Remain journalist's biased views.
The quote above contains the old lie that lies won the referendum, and makes the bizarre claim that the lies were told to prevent themselves winning!
So, just the usual Remain bollocks but appearing in NYT instead of Guardian (which Ms Russell also used to write for.)
