Anything that gets the ball rolling towards getting the complete stupidity of Brexit overturned has got to be a good thing, So many less than enlightened people voting for it to get rid of non-British nationals, though to be fair the thing was rushed through at the last election without much explanation. So far we are left with delays to deliveries, due to a lack of drivers, who knew ?? A serious shortage of nurses, midwives and doctors, who knew ?? It now takes for ever to get out of Dover by road & longer to get back in through passport control, who knew ?? It is part of the current damage to the economy, who knew ?? Where is the history of evidence showing that going it alone from the rest of Europe actually works successfully ?? Just empty election promises at the time from the 3rd rate journalist & Eton halfwit, the man who should arguably go down in history as the most inept Prime Minister this country has ever had the misfortune to have, along with his now ex-cabinet colleagues, all self-serving career civil servants.

Absolute twaddle. Is there a serious shortage of nurses, midwives and doctors? If so, isthat due to Brexit? Any EU national working here could register (over 6 million have) to continue to work here. Have you considered that many may have returned home due to COVID? Probably not, doesn’t suit your agenda. History of evidence? We weren’t doing too badly before we joined the Common Market Edited by Spiderman (23 Aug 2022 10.18pm)

As I doubt you would want us to be part of a federal structure anymore than I do it’s important to recognise what the functions actually are and not what they aren’t. The Commissioners don’t work in a vacuum. They work to an agenda specified by the Council, who are the link to us, the voters. The Parliament scrutinises and passes or rejects new laws. In some cases it can amend itself. In others it needs to do so together with the Council. It’s unwieldy but that’s the nature of the organisation. I see much greater good from belonging than not. But I reject federalism. So I hope to see a new category of membership emerge. An inner core and an outer one which is part of the free trade and free movement arrangements but which retains sovereignty.

1 man, all-knowing, how do you manage it ?? FYI, l don’t have an agenda, just an opinion, which like you, l am entitled to. If you were like me, around pre-Common Market, then l think it is fair to say the world of today has changed for the worst & the world then & now are not similar.

The tories are trying to wheel out Thatcher, it is desperation and no longer relevant, they are even dressing the Truss like her. But there was one thing she did, her free trade agreement, the single market, that brought growth and prosperity to the UK. We cannot return to the EU but we can try to repair the relationship and start to restore our trade in particular. The candidates are in denial about brexit and everything else the UK is isolated and massively in debt. I am hoping for a large turn-out, the sort of thing, like the Iraq war demonstration, that shows how people think, even if they can't do much.

I agree the world has changed for the worse but you cannot put that all down to Brexit surely?

For someone who says that they keep up with the news, l struggle to understand how you dismiss issues which have oft reported on the news as ‘twaddle’. It is also arguable that we are all starting to have our daily lives affected in ways which they were not pre-Brexit.
