I am not terribly concerned about that vote last night. None of the Labour Brexiteers who have, in the case of Dennis Skinner, voted against every Treaty even including that of Accession, voted with the Government. It was symbolically important as a defeat. But it did not add up to much.
We are not leaving the EU. You and Peter Hitchens always said we never would.
ReplyDeleteNot this side of a General Election won on a Corbyn manifesto by a majority of Corbyn-supporting candidates, no. Brexit will only happen when the majority of the House of Commons has been elected on an economic programme that would simply be impossible to implement without leaving the Single Market and the Customs Union. That means the Labour Left. It actually cannot mean anyone else.
