@_tillyflip_ @Otto_English I’ve been watching videos of similar interviews over the past 12 hours or so and I’ve been thinking the same thing. Had people been challenged to explain what they meant by “sovereignty” rather than the media just running vox pops then maybe we wouldn’t be in this mess

@GwynneMP The past few chaotic weeks have shown that there is no way of leaving the EU without: a) Causing damage to the economy. b) Upsetting somebody as it doesn’t match their vision of Brexit c) Puts the whole Irish peace process in jeopardy by going against the Good Friday Agreement
