Maybe the Lib Dems will extract it as a price for joining them in a coalition after the GE?I agree, but then I fully expect him to roll back on it a some point in the future anyway.
The relationship with the EU is a huge headache for the UK.
Starmers ‘plan’ to make Brexit work requires some degree of alignment with the EU. Any easing of non-tariff trade barriers and restrictions requires alignment and that will have the Tory press screaming about selling out and surrendering.
Any attempt to join the Single Market and/or Customs Union will be resisted by the EU, because we will require special exemptions and that boat sailed a long time ago; and why admit a country that will keep threatening to withdraw from the SM/CU unless we get what we want and then withdraw anyway? No one is forgetting the last decade or so and no one in Europe is rushing to repeat it.
Rejoining is out because the EU isn’t going to vote to let us back in because there is nothing in it for them.
What the UK public wants is for these issues to go away. Unfortunately all options will require endless and tedious negotiations with the EU which means the European issue will never go away. The price for banging on endlessly about the EU, and then leaving, is having to bang on about the EU until the end of time with the volume turned up to eleven.
They better concentrate on electoral reform or they are silly twats.Maybe the Lib Dems will extract it as a price for joining them in a coalition after the GE?
He is in effect perpetuating what has been Johnson’s trick. Telling the electorate that we can ‘have our cake and eat it’. Telling lies to curry favour. Instead of showing leadership and persuading with evidence. He is no better than them. A liar and a coward. Wait until he tries to explain how to fix the NI problem with someone a little more probing than Peston and persuades the electorate why they should give a shit about it. He won’t. Fucking coward.
Or rejoining g single market unlikely but a solution.The Northern Ireland issue can only be rectified by a border or NI leaving the U.K.
Not really brexit has to be played out.Or rejoining g single market unlikely but a solution.
Exactly. Then why is Starmer suggesting he can fix it by managing it better.The Northern Ireland issue can only be rectified by a border or NI leaving the U.K.
Not really brexit has to be played out.
