That's NOT what R-M said.
Please read again.
"The overwhelming opportunity for Brexit is over the next 50 years."
i.e. The "opportunity" of the "project" will be judged continuously.
(And after 50 years, Brexit will be so far back in history, attributing anything to it may have little value)
Personally, I always thought that "success" would be pretty obvious within less than a year .... as the vast majority of business would carry on much as usual.
But probably Covid has muddied the waters too much.
Please don't tell me what he said as if I can't read, or listen.
I am not particularly interested in the precise application of the 50 year time frame, I won't be around that long. He has moved from instant benefits during campaigning into full retreat in an attempt to gloss over what he knows is coming.
It is interesting to hear your definition of success in the first year, a very low bar indeed. We will see if we manage to limp over that one. Rees Mogg will be on the airwaves soon enough talking longer into the future, of that I am confident.
