There's no placating the Brexiters, no reasoning with them, no basic comprehension or adulthood. You can't debate papers behaving like the Sun or the Mail this morning. There's nothing to debate with. They view all trading relations with Europe as humiliation.

Big shifts are happening. Trade. Defence. Borders. The UK and EU just signed a wide-ranging deal that signals a real “reset” in relations. What’s in it? Who benefits? And what’s still at stake? Read the analysis from five experts:

If you only glanced at the RW tabloid headlines, eg while shopping in a supermarket, but didn't pay attention to the specifics of the Brexit reset, you'd walk away with a strong feeling that Brexit had been betrayed. ("All the papers I sometimes read say the same thing, so it must be true...")

Interesting. Will we see a LibDem-Labour crossover too? (Important: even if that were to happen, Labour would pick up far more seats than the LibDems because of FPTP. The LibDem vote tends to be more geographically concentrated. And of course it wouldn't save either party - or us! - from Reform.)

Reminder that the Brexit reset, like the US trade deal, is mainly a laundry list of things whose fine detail still needs to be negotiated and agreed. Neither is a "done deal" no matter how much trumpet-blowing was done when they were announced.

The people reading these "Brexit Betrayal" headlines and believing them are the same people Labour were trying to win over by acting all Reform-like on immigration. So all that performative cruelty last week was for absolutely nothing. But its consequences aren't for nothing - they'll ruin lives.

Kemi Badenoch & Nigel Farage oppose Starmer’s EU deal not because it’s bad for Britain, but because it exposes their lies. Their outrage is about protecting those lies, not the country. Britain’s ready to move on to real world, they’re still stuck in a fantasy. #r4today #BBCBreakfast #GMB #Skynews

You look at the Tories, Reform and the rightwing press after the Brexit reset and you see just how mad they are. Genuinely frothingly insane. Desperate to insist that their Brexit moronathon is a win. Spitting with rage at their own failure. This sums them up… www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Labour are missing a huge trick by not being bolder on Brexit. RW fury will be dialled up to 11 no matter what is agreed. Witness the back to back Brexit Betrayal headlines in the Daily Mail and Express. (Expect their screaming to continue for ages!) But it's very weak sauce for everyone else.

With today's Brexit reset, we've now reached stages 4 and 5 in my 2023 analysis of how Labour seem likely to lose the 2029 general election. Sadly so far things have gone pretty much as I predicted, though maybe substitute "Reform" for "Tories" in some later stages... medium.com/@edwinhaywar...

Will today's Brexit deal leave the UK and the EU better off than we all were just before it was agreed? Definitely. Does that make it a good idea? Not necessarily. It is more than enough to raise the rage of the RW media to supernova levels. And yet in terms of actual reset, it's baby steps.

Labour constantly state that they won't overturn Brexit. People most attracted to Reform don't believe them because they're fed a continuous diet of "Brexit Betrayal" headlines by RW media. Other Labour voters and potential Labour voters believe them and are disgusted, disappointed and despairing.

Current Daily Express poll. How likely is it that anyone who still supports Brexit and reads the Express will vote Labour? I'd say it's more likely that they'll spontaneously sprout wings and fly. And yet that's the same group Labour are trying to win over by stomping hard on migrants.

Another normal day at the Express, with a mere 15 negative Brexit stories in the last 24h. 96% of their readership see today's reset deal as a betrayal. (Why would they think that when they're fed a constant daily diet of betrayal stories? Ah, yes...)

The Sun, Daily Mail, Express, Telegraph, GB News etc. are all using exactly the same language about today's very modest Brexit reset: - Betrayal - Surrender - Sell-out - Capitulation to Brussels A supernova would look like an ice cube compared to the fury of some of their correspondents.
