RT by @Brendandonn: It would be interesting to know from Cameron which beneficial effects of Brexit have persuaded him that he was wrong in 2016. Of course, “It is difficult to get a man to understand something when his job depends upon his not understanding it.” (Upton Sinclair.)

RT by @Brendandonn: The crucial question for our present generation of politicians is the cost/benefit analysis of votes won and lost by their stance on any given issue. When they think that’s being in favour of Brexit costs them votes, watch how they run.

RT by @Brendandonn: Brexit will be like the Post Office scandal. All of a sudden mainstream politicians will realise there are votes to be gained and lost on the issue. Then watch out for the stampede in Westminster to the exit from Brexit.

It will be a long and painful process to get The Telegraph to admit that Brexit itself is the fundamental problem for the City. It seems to think that political chaos since 2016 was something separate from Brexit. In fact it was part and parcel of the same national tragedy.

RT by @Brendandonn: While admitting the damage caused by Brexit to the City The Telegraph also wants to blame “political instability” for the City’s woes. This is the Brexiter rewrite of history which claims everything would have been just fine if MPs had followed the ERG’s lead after 2016. Rubbish.

RT by @Brendandonn: “I am commendably loyal to my Party leader, despite my personal reservations. You on the other hand are personally and culpably responsible for all the follies and errors committed by yours.” Consistency is a rare bird in British political ornithology.

RT by @Brendandonn: Campaigning to rejoin is part of that repudiation. Highlighting the lies the damage and the lost opportunities that brought us and is caused by brexit.

RT by @Brendandonn: The Eurosceptic media would make sure that the concept of “rule-taker” became very well known if we attempted to rejoin the Single Market without rejoining the EU. They would probably even invent a special name for it such as “Euroslave” or “Eurovassal.”

RT by @Brendandonn: Declining faith in the effectiveness and reliability of the British state may well be a factor promoting the reversal of Brexit in the not too distant future.

RT by @Brendandonn: Chris Grey rightly points out that rejoining the EU will require a repudiation of the systemic factors that led to Brexit. But a campaign to rejoin the EU need not await this repudiation. The campaign for domestic reform can run in tandem with a campaign to reverse Brexit.

RT by @Brendandonn: It’s a mistake to argue against present campaigning to rejoin the EU because it may take a long time to win enough people over. If we don’t campaign to rejoin, we simply leave the field open to the zealots who want to ensure that we never ever rejoin.

RT by @Brendandonn: Khan’s call for a “new settlement” with the EU is presumably code for rejoining the Single Market. If you’re going to do that, why not go the whole way and rejoin the EU? Why not resume our rightful position as rule-makers rather accept being mere rule-takers?

RT by @Brendandonn: Sadiq Khan’s words will resonate with many supporters of the Labour Party in London. Labour voters in London do not correspond to the image Starmer has of the Red Wall. Probably lots of the Red Wall voters don’t either.

The humiliating myth of the UK bullied by its partners in the EU was, ironically, one often promoted by those who prided themselves on their patriotism. They seemed almost to revel in their baseless sense of victimhood.

RT by @Brendandonn: And the UK always played a central role in shaping EU legislation in the first place. Among the many Brexit myths one of the most idiotic was that of the UK bullied and victimised in the EU by its European neighbours.

RT by @Brendandonn: It’s important to stress that Brexit is not just a specific policy area to which differing approaches are possible.Its effects are all-pervasive. It is a leech draining the blood and vitality of our whole political system. That is why talk of “making it work” is self-defeating.

RT by @Brendandonn: I used to think that nannies who looked after children’s health were just doing what they were supposed to do. No doubt Jacob Rees-Mogg can advise us on the proper role of the nanny. Perhaps she is simply hired these days to inculcate free market principles into her charges.

RT by @Brendandonn: It’s a bit optimistic now to expect honest and mature discussion of Brexit from the people whose professional and political activity for the past twenty years has been largely devoted to dishonest and immature discussion of European topics. Old habits die hard.

RT by @Brendandonn: It looks very different when you are more likely to fall beneath 20% than rise to 40%. Farage may offer a hope of survival to the Conservative Party. Drowning sailors aren’t fussy about the identity of the rope-thrower.
