The Telegraph has just published *yet another* correction to one of its net-zero articles.
By my count, that is now the TWELFTH such correction since Labour won the election (and covers 15 separate articles).
I have now added the latest one to my epic thread which is tracking these corrections...

Putin will only negotiate if he was told he can’t win…!!
Putin’s being told by his sycophants “Yes boss we are winning!”
Putin doesn’t care about the cost..!!
If he realises he’s not going to win by sending a lot of Tornado missiles, THEN Putin will negotiate peace.
Test his resolve in continuing!

Yeah. Except we have no other major trading partner within at least 3000mi, and trade gravity dictates you mostly trade with nearby nations, anyway. So...
The arrogance, stupidity, and denial of reality is just so stunning. If EU was even 1/10th as evil as Brexiters claimed, the UK would be toast.

Anywhere that can reached by boat in less than two hours is just a local market

Ultimately, and this bears repeating, the problem isn't the type of Brexit, but Brexit. Being outside the union structures is just shït.

Mr Behr holds that the problems stem from UKG's allowing the Tories to set the agenda at the last election, esp. regarding the May-Johnson redlines. You could go back to Labour's voting for Brexit.
This was a moment to potentially u-turn. They've missed it.
Too late?

Structural corruption and the rise of “conduits for unelected power” are reshaping British politics, according to a stark report from the Equality Trust.
