You can rightly deplore the venal charlatans who sold us this economic suicide, but I also now blame everyone in our political class, including those in government, who continue to bury their heads in the sand and insist we cannot reverse this most catastrophically stupid error. Shame on them all.

They've learned nothing. Present the facts and the benefits positively and the electorate should be persuaded.
Yes. I know I'm appearing naive but I'm fed up of the lack of proaction and initiative
Just the Single Market FFS, Starmer
It'll be everything not sold by a big business that can afford the hoop jumping.
If he simply takes the necessary action, and begins the process of rejoining (small steps taken over time) the majority of people will see and feel the benefits, and ignore the bleating of the RW media.
We're not close to that yet.
That does not require anything of the electorate except listening ears and fingers on lips.
Facts only matter when people get to see them rather than the lies of the right wing billionaire media
I assume some arrangements were made with the Press before Starmer took power, but it's hard to see what advantage he has gained from them.
Harold Wilson's government did it when we joined EEC, so why not @Keir_Starmer 's?

And I say that as a Scottish nationalist whose cause is undoubtedly helped by this mess and its handmaidens.
Left or Right, they claimed responsible governance yet utterly failed to modernised our political systems to inoculate against the weaknesses that were since exploited.
It was their job to have that foresight.
They rejected proportional representation, setting party before country.
They allowed the 4th Estate to fall into malign hands.
They failed us in so many ways.

Unfathomable. Bizarre.
Shame on Starmer for this needless idiocy.
