"Reversing" Brexit obviously means rejoining and when we do you are actually right, the terms won't be the same. I don't suppose the EU would object if we had a sudden change of heart and requested we forget the whole thing, but I don't think that the Tories could lose that much face even if they know it makes sense.

I am not now arguing as a "remainer". Nor, so far as I can tell, is anyone else. People are going through a period of reflection and regrouping so as to be ready for the next phases. The first of which is to hold Johnson's feet to the flames and make sure that we actually get the tariff free deal with the EU he promised. As having that, and new trade deals with others, is incompatible, something has to give. One or the other is a lie. We will see which and then which side of the argument gets upset.

The next phase is to prepare an effective opposition which argues not just for a reversal of Brexit but an overhaul of our outdated electoral system which leaves so many unrepresented and enables a government to assume office which is backed only by a minority of voters.

The opposition parties need to coalesce around a core belief to be effective. I see ways forward to achieve that and fortunately with the Tories now having such a clear majority the time exists to get it properly structured before the next election.

It could get very interesting in just over 4 years from now.

The hard assets in this case are a drop in the ocean and irrelevant.

We will be alone, searching for friends. It's a highly competitive world out there. Many of the labour markets are much cheaper than ours, with lower protections. They are all trying to sell us things and manufacturers are all looking for cheap places to make things and pay less tax.

There is a big danger that we will get involved in a race to the bottom and who is going to suffer most from that? It will be the average working man and woman! Not the hedge fund managers or newspaper proprietors.

Superficially that makes sense but as the way we decided Brexit was via a national referendum every vote everywhere counted the same. If we allow MPs to take the decisions then that's a good suggestion. If it happens I will remember it!

you just cant stop can you??? Oh you massively superior being!!!

I don't get how voting for Brexit was racist.

Europeans voting on a European only issue.

But, well...You know that type of activist....that's their playbook.

Those racists have been quite busy recently not only voting for Brexit but also hounding poor Ms Markle out of the country and mixing up Diane Abbot’s shoes.
