  • I think one of the reasons for Labour's success in the last election was by taking the focus away from Brexit back towards people's daily lives.

    I know there's a huge amount that's still up in the air and likely to go to shit, but I also think a lot of people's attitudes is just "fucking get on with it."

    On the other hand, I think that being in government at the minute is a poisoned chalice and whoever is in government will be held accountable for the outcome of Brexit, despite it being impossible to carry out in a way which will please everyone.

  • everyone

    The smallest number to ignore would the 60-odd members of the oddly named European Research Group, the ERG currently chaired by lovable* Toff throwback Rees-Mogg.

    • pronounced dangerous/unscrupulous/unhinged depending upon viewpoint.
  • Unfortunately that small group of MPs has the support of most of the biggest newspapers, and a significant proportion of the population, e.g. the boiled hams on Question Time (Carnt even call them gammons ne more its political correctness gone mad !)

    So it might be easy to dismiss them as fringe hardliners but I think there genuinely are a lot of people out there who 1) do still want to leave the EU 2) believe, quite reasonably, that there are a lot of people who don't, and who want to stop that process.

    Thanks to the arrogance of the pigfucker, just deciding not to leave the EU is an option no government can take and survive.
