RT by @Brendandonn: The sympathy was not offered entirely seriously. I think you may be too complimentary about Boris Johnson.

RT by @Brendandonn: Since the 2016 referendum British political life has consisted entirely of the clash between fantasy and reality. Sunak briefly toyed with a fantasy that he might win a General Election in May. Reality now appears to have reasserted itself.Another fantasy will crop up next week.

RT by @Brendandonn: I was absolutely sure that the election would be in the second half of the year. Then I heard that Sunak thought so too. So now I have no idea when it will take place.

RT by @Brendandonn: If the main parties embrace dishonest obfuscation and fantasy politics, then it stokes an atmosphere where voters can seamlessly transition to more radical parties willing to outbid traditional politics on the fantasy stakes

RT by @Brendandonn: And radical parties often have the advantage of leaders who genuinely believe the fantasies they are peddling. This communicates itself to the electorate as a commendable sincerity, lacking in those politicians who are obviously putting on an act to win votes.

RT by @Brendandonn: There are many variables in this equation, which anyway does not need to be solved immediately. Let us build up support in the UK for rejoining and then review with our future partners in the EU the mechanisms. Only certainty is an end to the culture of opt outs. Good riddance!

RT by @Brendandonn: As long as we remain outside the EU it will normally be in the national interest to follow rules made by others. Starmer’s weaselly formula is designed to obscure this obvious but to some unwelcome reality,

RT by @Brendandonn: It is a common misconception among democratic politicians than saying something about a problem is the same as acting to solve the problem. This has become a real problem for the current functioning of democratic societies.

RT by @Brendandonn: The concept of the EU as more than a sum of trade offs rarely figured in the European debate of the UK. The debate has been confined exclusively to the acceptability or otherwise of the tradeoffs. We now know that was a recipe for disaster,

RT by @Brendandonn: My point was that so many voters, from very different starting-points, think Starmer will change his tune after the election. Some dread, some hope for a U-turn. But probably a majority of voters expect it. This the new normal of British politics.

RT by @Brendandonn: The refusal of even supposed pro-European politicians in this country to explain these arguments before 2016 paved the way for Brexit. Mindless hostility towards the EU’s institutions in particular was cravenly indulged by leaders of opinion who should have known better.

RT by @Brendandonn: If Labour does form the next government, the role of the Rejoin EU Party will be to show Starmer and his friends that they cannot take for granted the votes of Rejoiners. At the moment, they think they can.

RT by @Brendandonn: There is a paradox here. The true Brexiters will not be reassured by protestations from Starmer and Reeves. At the same time, many voters who want to rejoin the EU will hope for opposite reasons that Starmer and Reeves will reverse course when in office. Funny old world.

RT by @Brendandonn: It’s what the free market is all about. It should be an article of faith for Conservative MPs that Easter starts just when Tesco’s customers are willing to start buying Easter eggs. None of this elitist stuff about Easter falling on a date fixed by people who live in Islington.
