I'd agree with that. But worse, there are few competent numskulls on either side of the house who could deliver anything much better.
It's all an embarrassment no matter where your politics lie.
And no matter where your politics lie, or how you voted in the referendum, that speech by
Sir Ivan Rogers is well worth checking out.
Yes, it'll take more than just a few minutes, but to all those who think it makes them look smart and sophisticated to say that they won't read things which take more than a few minutes, it does neither.
I'd advise listening to the recording, and following the "transcript" as closely as possible. Problem is it's not a transcript -I think it's more likely to be the speech as he wrote it, but when he delivered it he made changes on the fly.
He doesn't take much of a position on Brexit - he accepts the referendum, and is not a fan of having another one.

The tories poor performance is to blame, but equally, Labour's and others constant undermining of the Government's position (and thus the UK's position) is reprehensible.
I think you'll find that it is the job of Her Majesty's Official Opposition to oppose, criticise, and basically do what they can to bring about a General Election.
And in any event, there have been a number of PMQs where the Right Honourable Member for Islington North has pressed the Right Honourable Member for Maidenhead on matters other than Brexit.
