Some politicians are more likeable as they look and talk like human beings. It's a rare quality. Charles Kennedy had it. So does @darrenpjones.bsky.social. #BBCBreakfast - ThreadSky

Darren has always been such a great communicator, when he was chair of the business select committee I was enthralled - his skills in the cabinet will be invaluable -and Charles Kennedy was immensely likeable and another great communicator

Completely agree. He talks like a human being and politely/intelligently doesn't take any shit.

Agreed. So this will be okay then? And I might get a reply? 😀

Even if they campaigned wholeheartedly for it, I don't believe it's going to happen in the short term. The EU wouldn't countenance it. Therefore, a waste of political capital. In the meantime, they need to stop ignoring the damage Brexit is doing and bring it up at every opportunity.

Nor do I (as I have said here before). UK polity is not stable enough for Article 49. Perhaps not for SM/CU quite yet. But UKG could stop the 'never' stuff and find warmer words about SM/CU. That would be a start.

Agreed. They need to repeatedly and explicitly point out the Brexit catastrophe. It would also be nice if they mentioned the benefits of immigration.

That too. They're my two strands of complaint about UKG: SM/CU negativity, and immigration negativity. One might almost think they are interlinked.
