RT by @Brendandonn: Xenophobia was always at the heart of the Brexit project. It doesn’t take much to trigger these feelings. Biden supposedly hates the UK because he is Irish. Trudeau now needs to be stood up to by gallant Kemi Badenoch. This is playground politics.

RT by @Brendandonn: Well said. The idea Ref. result based on a small majority, flawed franchise, & sold on a pack of lies is binding in perpetuity is totally undemocratic. The 2016 result is fully discharged & all sensible UK politicians should favour softening or reversal of that historic mistake!

Frost has a considerable following among the Conservative membership. He is too strong for Sunak to destroy him, but he now cannot be conciliated either. Mutiny is rife on board HMS Conservative Party.

RT by @Brendandonn: Brexit was a crazy decision, but it is part of democracy that citizens are willing to be bound by the unwelcome decisions of a government they oppose politically. British citizens cannot opt out of Brexit. They need to reverse it. Every day, more of them are realising this.

It is sometimes claimed that attempting to “make Brexit work” is the democratic response to the result of 2016’s referendum. This is the opposite of the truth. The best democratic response to a self-destructive error made in a democracy is to try to reverse it.

RT by @Brendandonn: It may or may not be true that the referendum of 2016 created an obligation on the British government to carry out Brexit. It is certainly wrong to imagine that the referendum created any obligations with regard to Brexit for any foreign governments.

It is indeed extraordinary that someone with as few credentials for high office as Sunak is PM of “God’s own country.” But it is even more extraordinary that the attempts to unseat him from within his Party are so absurdly incompetent and unrealistic.

Penny Mordaunt has probably gauged her audience pretty well. She is not talking to the British public. She is not talking to MPs. She is talking exclusively to and for the benefit of the Conservative Party’s membership.

Every time a prominent Conservative welcomes the prospect of Trump’s being reelected as President thousands of votes are lost to the Conservative Party. Apparently the Party’s PR advisers cannot restrain the death wish of their clients.

RT by @Brendandonn: This is mindless and embarrassing to most contemporary listeners. It strongly suggests therefore that Mordaunt has not given up hope of taking over the leadership of her Party.

RT by @Brendandonn: Sunak is very unlikely to be kicked out. Mordaunt would be far from certain to succeed him. If she did she would not want to commit political hara-kiri. The Conservative Party is anyway certain to lose the next election badly. Otherwise, this cunning plan is a stroke of genius.

RT by @Brendandonn: Starmer is extraordinarily lucky in his opponents. Any identification of the Conservative Party with Trump can only help to increase the Labour majority at the GE. But there are Conservatives eager to make this identification. Conservative self-destruction is accelerating,

RT by @Brendandonn: Most people who regard the ability to set British standards as trumping the costs of doing so are unaware of these costs. Massive and wilful ignorance, reinforced by a superficial and partisan British media landscape, has always been at the heart of the British debate on Europe.

RT by @Brendandonn: The detachment of today’s Conservative Party from facts, rationality and logic is a betrayal of the European and in particular the British intellectual tradition. This may seem an academic argument. But politics divorced from reality are always a path to totalitarianism.

RT by @Brendandonn: The degeneration of the Conservative Party goes back much further than Brexit itself. John Major made ineffectual attempts to stem the tide of self-destructive Euroscepticism within the Party. His successors did not even try to do so. We now live with the consequences.

RT by @Brendandonn: It would be a brave person who bet the ranch on something’s not happening just because the Conservative Party would need to be mad to do it. The Party has gone mad and many of the Party’s most admirable members have had their careers halted as a result.
