Unity blah blah, coming together, blah blah compromise blah blah.

Jeremy Hunt is ruling our a no deal Brexit bye bye Jeremy.

Normally I would be in favour of compromise but in the case of Brexit I really can't see that is possible. You cannot be a little bit pregnant.

I think the candidate that simply calls it will win with the Tory faithful. They're is no compromise so the Tories must deliver Brexit or face a decade in the wilderness the sooner they realise that the better. And yes that will upset many people in the UK but the nature of our elections is winner takes all.

As I always believed that the EU election result would be meaningless in terms of any impact on Brexit I have stayed away from the instant analysis. I guess the only real benefit might be to those who try to analyse voting trends in the various regions.

I do though follow Louise Mensch on Twitter who is, among many other things, a committed Brexiteer. She posted this, which I thought sufficiently interesting to share here:-

"So it’s another woeful performance for @Nigel_Farage. Brexit Party IS UKIP, yet even with Tories in chaos he only picked up an extra 5 seats. Cons have 4, not none. Remain beat Brexit overall.

Forget the hot takes. That’s a very bad result for Farage under these circumstances."

From a Brexiteer I think that is quite insightful.

For the avoidance of doubt any comments in response to a previous post are directed to its ideas and not at any, or all, posters personally.

And night is day.

A party that did not exist 6 weeks ago becomes the largest party after the election and one of the largest in the EU Parliament with 32% of the vote. Only 5 seats? Doesn't sound much but there are only about 70+ seats on offer and it's not a fair analogy as he left UKIP.

Change UK formed about the same time only got 600,000 votes and about 4% of the vote yet some people are saying for a new party they did OK.

If 32% of the vote is failure I bet Corbyn and the Tories would bite your hand off for that kind of failure.

Campbell expelled from the Labour Party. Everything bad in politics exudes from every pore from this war criminal.

Pro USA & Israel

Seems very harsh, petty and pretty silly from Labour.

However, it's very in-line with the new wave far left who have taken over the party.....getting rid of those dissenting voices one by one.

But this leadership is what the membership wanted so at least it isn't undemocratic.

I voted remain and tend to vote for a centre left party in a general election.
I don’t understand the delusion of people claiming the European results were a win for remain. It seems to me the liberals and the greens were beaten by the brexit party both in seats and share of the vote. Lumping labour in with those results just doesn’t work as many labour voters voted for brexit.
I can’t understand people who claim to have liberal views now want to disregard the result of a democratic referendum based purely on economic reasons. I think this whole situation reflects so badly on us as a democracy and would 100% vote the other way if we have another referendum.
