Summarised in one word.

Sorry.

And this will sound petty and vindictive, but I don't care:
I hope that John, wherever he was, petulantly avoiding being seen to having anything to do with the statement he spent most of his time in power denying, avoiding, and generally preventing, was weeping quietly while the Prime Minister talked, in impotent frustration and futile rage as his country was remade in front of him into something he does not recognise, and to which he is foreign, disdained and discarded.

You know, like we were while he was in charge.
