The right really don’t think they lost the election, it was an aberration, if only they had waited for Trump to win in the States, they would have swept the board.
We are in a foreseeably difficult position. Signs are so far that our government's rapprochement with Europe, though welcome, is too little and too slow. Starmer's red lines are a pointless encumbrance, and any rhetorical nonsense about making Brexit 'work' was an empty election slogan. We need to get a lot closer to the EU, and fast. The government has a massive majority, so get on with it!
More joy in heaven???? David Davies???? Are you going soft and sentimental, Jonty? I wouldn’t give him a job as the EU’s bog cleaner - and he’d probably be as crap at that as he was at negotiating
I'm afraid the UK's political class, Right and Left, panders far too much to the xenophobes and racists of the corporate media.
No reciprocal citizens' rights, no freedom of movement, means no return to the Single Market. It's as simple as that.
It's such a pity that, for decades, the powers that be in the UK never saw fit to inform or educate the UK public as to what Freedom of Movement actually means (and what it doesn't mean). One might go so far as to suggest the British have been deliberately rendered ignorant.
The popular, and wrong, UK narrative has always been that "Freedom of Movement" means bureaucracy-free travel for British tourists in the EU, and "EU migrants" coming over here and stealing our jobs. The narrative has never placed the UK in the EU as a participating member. And, of course, the EU, apart from its evil intentions towards Britain, exists only as a list of tourist destinations for British holidaymakers.

Education has always been the key to this. It's worth asking why no UK government ever wants to educate the public.
