Jeff reads autocue worse than anyone I’ve ever heard in my entire life. Plus his video headline even has a question mark and exclamation mark in it, so he’s obviously unsure himself.
I think Ich is closer than most in that Labour will first get into power, THEN take a narrative of soundings from home and the EU over a 12-18 month period, after which they’ll have a referendum because it’s clear that Brexit in any form is unworkable and extremely bad for British business. The Tories know it but can’t and won’t admit it. Starmer will have no qualms about doing any of this because he won’t be as obstinate and jingoistic as Johnson and the Tories were.

Labour would like nothing more.

Not just Labour though is it?

No one asked -me - and I don't know anyone who's changed their mind. The pollsters are selective I guess.

[daveinscotland]

They tend to avoid extremists and deniers, they’re looking for middle-of-the-road ordinary folk I guess?

[naomi24]

Hmmm.... people who will make the right noises.

Meanwhile.

The sunlit uplands have in fact become a skip fire full of tyres at the back of Lidl, haven’t they?

The smart ones leave pronto, only the mentally-challenged ones would want to board.

[daveinscotland]

You are talking about Brexit, right?

[Khandro]

No, HMS European Union.

[daveinscotland]

Ah right. I guess living in Germany though it’s difficult to make a comparison to the UK right now?
The economic outlook for the UK is dire, far bleaker than the rest of Europe….and the Europeans know it.
