I notice that Brexiteers here do not deny all the disadvantages arising from Brexit which I and others have listed at length. It is all, alas, water under the bridge because no major Party with a hope of being in government wants to renegotiate entry to the EU and the valuable single market instigated by Thatcher and there is no guarantee the EU members would want us back. The only hope is a renegotiated treaty with better terms than those negotiated by the incompetent and careless Johnson who lied about some of the consequences e.g., no border in the Irish sea, no problems for fishers, no problem with farmers' pickers. My fear is that the Tories will get back in as a coalition with the Lib Dems. I voted Lib Dem to keep the Tories out and they ratted 13 years ago and I have no reason to suppose they wouldn't rat again once they saw the Ministerial salaries and expenses, cars, red boxes, etc., dangled by a Tory leader. The recent comments on the state of our hollowed-out military together with a lack of serious economic growth tells me we are sliding down from being a power in the world.
Why would they even take part in that discussion? They know you will come back at them and try and flatten them. What good does that do?
Brexit never existed. Or rather, it had so many descriptions it was both nothing and everything.
The vote was on leave or remain. We have left. Whatever we think, we now need to move forward and make the best of it. Making the best of it will not be achieved by those who voted to leave telling us the upside or those who voted to remain telling us the downside. We have all seen that growing our economy is down to those most affected by it. The people who are to blame are the regular crew - this government of decline. We now need a government that is there for all.
In the last two years, America’s Congress has passed three bills on infrastructure, semiconductor chips and greenery. These will not directly reduce inflation, but the growth they provide will. During this time, all our government has done is look backward, talk about the mythical advantages of Brexit and change the person at the top with monotonous regularity.
We need a government that is truly aiming at modern industrialisation, investing enough in the left-behind places so they can grow themselves, giving people a chance of a true living income and fulfilling our green promises.
This government seems incapable of doing that. We need a new government not a constant attack on those who thought, for whatever reason, that to leave was the best thing for us.
