In other news the OBR report the government keeps quoting from says Brexit is on course to cut UK trade by a staggering 15% - a huge reduction in the potential economic performance of the country at a time when every penny counts

I would say Labour's term in office will be much shorter than they think.
Can we just have elections and get it over with
Starmer is the only one who is actually trying to improve trade between the UK and EU.
1. Labour voted for Johnson's deal.
2. Starmer rejects Single Market membership, Freedom of Movement and even a bespoke Customs Union.
3. If the buss is heading for the cliff edge and the new driver refuses to brake, she's just as much to blame.
2. Why then does the Labour manifesto not rule out a *bespoke* customs union?
3. We already hit the ground under Johnson. Labour are starting the climb back up the cliff.
1. If the deal would have passed anyway, why support it?
2. If Labour supports a bespoke customs union, why did they just reject a bespoke customs union?
Please jog on, and stop putting party above country.
Brexit is killing the UK.
It has failed.
There is a solution and everyone seems terrified of it.
He is damaging the UK further with his stranglehold over the party. He needs to remember many voted to unseat the Tories, not embrace labour
Brexit will never work and it’s time that was acknowledged
Why? In God's name why?

The great British Brexit robbery: how our democracy was hijacked

Refusing to rejoin because of so called 'principles' is one thing, but ignoring reality is strangely pathetic. And makes them look idiotic IMO.
Next stop chlorinated US Chicken or Hormone fed Beef ?
Very glad to have voted #libdems

The door is wide open - they have a massive majority that they NEED to use now, because they are NOT going to repeat that win.
Yeah ok
Sad
A government that ignores the fact that Brexit is impoverishing the country is no friend to the ordinary citizen who ends up poorer because of that govt's self-imposed ignorance.
Labour is not leading Britain but bleeding it.
Brexit is crippling the U.K. imo
Taxing private schools, is socialist but technically regressive. Equality by lowering the luckiest as opposed to raising the unluckiest.
It's mostly unimaginative and nanny state policies.
They know that rejoining the EU is the solution but decide to ignore it.
Party first country second. This lot of shysters are as much use as a chocolate fire guard
They have a slick media machine and will scream betrayal
You want to reverse the effects of Brexit - make them want it
Can I return to the same dimension 🙏🏻
Sick of all these politicians.
Repeatedly ruling out any meaningful change is delaying even the start of the process.
