@campbellclaret Those that were in the know about Brexit were in it for short term financial gain. Pretty much everyone else has lost out financially over the past 7 years, that’s the measure of Brexit’s failure.

@ElectionMapsUK If the Conservative Party disappeared at the next General Election it would be a good thing for UK Politics. It would allow Labour to be radical and reset the way Britain is governed and reform the economic model in place for the past 50+ years.

@mikegalsworthy 43% after a Walter Mitty manifesto, should never give any Party an 80 seat majority, & the right to do whatever it wants in power, to the detriment of the 57% who didn’t vote for it. The UK needs electoral reform & a voting system that represents accurately the wishes of voters.
