Am I right in thinking there is no causal relationship between Brexit as a concept and that huge spike in migration other than it being a conscious choice by the government to maintain GDP by increasing the population?
I think Brexit should be attacked, but they're in a position where they ruled out in the manifesto virtually all the big impact options on minimising the damage.
They've made it super hard on themselves to try and attack Brexit when they've ruled out doing anything about it.
Well, his normal retort is that there's nothing wrong with Brexit it just wasn't done his way. Blames the Tories for being weak. Under him the EU will buckle and mighty Britain will rise from the ashes and lead the world once more.
Well let's see what happens. I cant put my finger on where real opinion lies. I feel like I'm in 2 echo chambers. Bsky is self selected on hearing what I want, and Facebook which seems intent on showing me everything I don't.
No. He should definitely be attacked on it at every turn, and labour should have rejoin or customs union etc in their next manifesto. I want us back in the EU as much as anyone hence my pic being one I took at the second referendum march. But I don't want to blow that chance.
No. Im advocating being aware of the world we're in rather than the one we wish to be.
I fear what the end result would be of Labour breaking a major manifesto commitment on Brexit at a time when Reform lead in the polls headed by the chief advocate of Brexit.
The leaders of brexit told everyone that though. And the papers. It doesn't matter if it happened (and I tend to believe there was a fair amount of it), but they believe it did.
We're cooked really. What would rejoin negotiations look like with the spectre of a Farage government in 4 years? EU likely to prefer we come back in 4 years to try it if we see him off. Labour pivoting to rejoin would boost Farage immeasurably too I fear.
I've not heard him speak before. If you combine what he says with how he says it... how does anyone take him seriously? He makes grandpa Simpson sound erudite.
Of course it does, but it also attracts people who want to help their community. Being a priest or a scout leader also helps the community, but it also attracts people with certain tendencies right? It's just not as binary as you'd like to make out.
