I don’t think Labour, or indeed the rabid conservative brexiteers could have done any better.
I think that brexiteers have a vision of a Great Britain which no longer exists - the Britain of years ago, when we had a manufacturing industry and were a force to be reckoned with on the world stage.
What I find particularly abhorrent are the comments I’ve heard about our role in WW2, as if Europe, even 70+ years on should still be grateful for our intervention. Our role was motivated mostly by self interest and we should not now expect any special treatment.
Of course, there is one deal that would benefit every one of the people of the UK, protect jobs, benefit British manufacturing, increase the security of the U.K., calm the fears of British people living and working on the EU, satisfy the people of Northern Ireland, ensure our supplies of food and medicines are uninterrupted, keep car manufacturers here, safeguarding thousands of jobs, stop the SNP calling for independence, prevent dodgy food imports and NHS interference from the US, maintain our environmental standards, stop EU nurses, doctors, hotel and farm workers feeling unwelcome and going home etc etc etc.
REMAIN.
