RT by @Brendandonn: The legacy of Delors notably includes the single European currency too, even if the British have not (yet) joined it. The UK will of course become part of the Eurozone when in the not too distant future we rejoin the EU.

RT by @Brendandonn: Delors was certainly not a fanatic. The lazy description “fanatic federalist” reflects the crude nature of the British debate about Europe. The federal elements of the EU are a simple reality. There is nothing fanatical about recognising and making good use of these elements.

RT by @Brendandonn: It’s all part of “levelling up.” People in the Red Wall who are used to consuming beer in pint glasses will now be able to drink champagne from the same glasses. The metropolitan elite,who have special champagne glasses,are naturally agitated by this attack on their privileges.

One of the most important causes of Brexit was the spinelessness of moderate Conservatives after 1997. They sacrificed their principles on the altar of party unity. Meanwhile the Eurosceptics ensured that the Conservative Party would only be united on their own repellent terms.

RT by @Brendandonn: To judge from today’s courtier press the idea of an election in May seems to be working its way to the front of No 10’s hive mind. But there are so many competing bees in the Downing Street bonnet that a May election is in reality no more or less likely than it was a week ago.

RT by @Brendandonn: Moderate Conservatives did notice the flames enveloping their Party. But it was easier to claim that the flames weren’t too hot really; that the flames were about to go out spontaneously; and that their own whistling in the wind was the best hope for blowing out the fire.

RT by @Brendandonn: Hold the front page for an important announcement. The UK will not be reverting to Imperial measurements other than for the working man’s favourite tipple, a pint of champagne. As the tragedy of Brexit plays out its farcical elements become more and more prominent.

RT by @Brendandonn: It is touching that there are probably strategists of the Conservative Party who think the best road to the heart of Brexit- supporting Red Wall voters passes through pints of champagne. As Bertie Wooster said, “ Half the world doesn’t know how the other three quarters lives.”

RT by @Brendandonn: At one level the crazy complaints of the Express are amusing. At another they are more sinister. America shows us the threat posed to democracy when lies, fantasy and irrationality are normalised into tolerated political discourse.

RT by @Brendandonn: In the looking glass war waged by Brexiters, the fact that the rest of the EU is efficiently adapting to Brexit shows how right the UK was to leave. Brexiters would not want to be a members of a club that can get on without them.

RT by @Brendandonn: They betrayed us first by forcing us to leave and then by not falling apart after we left. Carrying on now as if they can get along without us is simply a further unspeakable example of their duplicity.

Let us hope 2024 will bring more urgency to the fight against Brexit. Opposing Brexit should be high on everyone’s list of New Year Resolutions.

RT by @Brendandonn: Christmas is certainly a good time to wish for things, but the end of Brexit will not arrive neatly gift-wrapped on Santa’s sleigh. It will need to be fought for, and fought for urgently. The longer this battle is postponed the more damage Brexit will do to our country.
