Still told to 'get over it, it's done.

And yet only 11 - yes, ELEVEN percent, believe it was a success. And only 24% of Reform. That is just staggering, but not surprising.

Why on earth should we 'get over it'?

The debate is definitely not over. This covers what was discussed in parliament yesterday. The politicians viewed rejoining as inevitable.

Of course the debate is not over.
But even if we rejoined the only thing we can be certain would happen is that we’d need to be a major contributor again.
Brexit happened.
It can’t be undone. Only a new format can be set up, and thats not undoing it.

^Only 11% in the UK now think brevity (Brexit) has been a success^

A smaller % of people, if any, think importing slaves was a success.

A different % think that wiping down shopping with disinfectant during Covid was a success.

All three of those things have happened and can’t be undone.

What we can do in the future might make a difference, but it won’t undo Brexit, or slavery, or Covid.

Incidentally I’m currently in a country that was delighted to scrape into the EU.
I’ve had to listen to endless stories of all the money that they have received, especially in view of their financial issues. I debated asking what their contribution to EU coffers is, but decided against it.

The poorer parts of the UK seemed to be the ones that benefited the most from us being in the EU; the very ones that voted to leave it.

So conversely, the younger, richer parts of the UK are the ones who didn’t bother to vote, (or who voted Remain).

Interesting.

Labour should put the UK's interests ahead of party advantage and negotiate an ever closer relationship with the EU and help reform the EU to be more effective.
