How do we resolve the Brexit mess?

Telegraph columnist wrongly claims literacy at the lowest level in UK history - Full Fact

A Telegraph article was wrong to say literacy was at its lowest level in history, and that every international league table puts the UK near bottom for literacy and numeracy. Neither is true.

Maybe the Telegraph columnist is just as illiterate and also suffers from dyscalculia too.

My heart sinks when I read that. What do you put it down to?

Christ knows! Certainly Brexit played it’s part but purely from a local perspective we had a really effective, committed local MP in Jo Platt and now we have the arse licking, completely forgettable, ‘yes man’ James Grundy. If Labour put a strong candidate forward at the next GE (which they should do) I’d be amazed if Leigh didn’t go back to being a Labour seat … but then again!!

Maybe but even dumb animals react when they are harmed. In this country it seems like a selection of the electorate can absorb all the hurt and pain and when asked if they would like some more, say yes please. Thank you very much. Doffs cap and bows/curtsies.

Yeah that whole war of independence thing....

I am sorry I can't believe that a Tory rag would have a downer on Britain - thats something they say only Remainers do - oh wait - teachers + unions = bashing and lying opportunities

Considerable water has passed under the bridge since then, and that’s why I think the Liberal Democrats would make legislated reform a condition of their forming a coalition.

Hopefully Labour have learnt their lesson from 1997. That is the key.

Your Ad Absurdum argument is transparent bullshit to try to excuse your own gullibility.This is what was said by the government about the dangers of leaving. Read it and read it again. Every single warning came true and they didn't even mention the years of political instability, employment shortages and risk to the union, although plenty of sensible people did.

Man up and own your shit like others have.

Nobody who voted Brexit is entitled to pontificate about inaccurate predictions. It’s akin to a united fan mocking us about what we paid for Jack Grealish.

Amongst all the replies. Thank you.

Please!

Just Google what certain Remainers where forecasting/prophesying.

The economic armageddon leaving the EU that was predicated by
Remainers hasn’t happened.

Without the actual economic facts, and just guessing, Covid has had a greater economic impact on the UK than leaving the EU has.

The war in Ukraine, energy price increases affecting the EU as well as the UK, and the general increases in living and fuel prices are having a greater impact across the the EU and the UK then Brexit ever has.

PS. Having just come back from Munich the supermarket shelves are fuller.

If only these predictions had been printed on the side of a bus. Then you’d really be able to take the piss.

Indeed. I have a gnawing fear that the next two years will be sufficiently painful to see Labour returned with a small albeit workable majority, but then hubris kicks in and they fail to overhaul the system.

dyscalculia

That doesn't add up mate.

Brexit was the swing in the last GE, Starmer should bloody walk this if he can keep the Wolfie Smiths in check.
