It smells to me like typical "follow the money" thing.

Inevitable at this point already I feel. Voted for en masse by people who wanted a change from the Tories. Already leaving it too late to start the ball rolling so the benefits can be found before the next election. It's a betrayal.

But allowing tories, or worse a torefom pact, to come back would still be so much worse. LibDems should be the beneficiary, but will they?

I've said it hundreds of times myself. If drinking alcoholically will lead to your premature death, STOP DRINKING. The same logic applies to Brexit. Turn the ship around or we'll boot you out of office.

Well, the key is to address why alcoholism exists in the first place. Just telling people to STOP DRINKING implies you don't care about the cause.

And when the cause is disenfranchisement, being ignored, lacking control, then ignoring things even more is making things worse.

You're not an alcoholic, I am, 33 years sober. So don't make comments about things you just don't understand.

Strange response tbh!

Choosing to diverge politically by not signing the AI declaration or siding with the EU on metal tarrifs also makes it seem as if exceptionalism and cherry picking that culminated in Brexit is still alive and well.
Not a good sign.

it is at least partially because of Special Economic Zones.
we can’t rejoin while we don’t have the same worker rights and economic freedoms- there are more economic freedoms for not paying tax in the UK version of these.
