Listening to Brexiters is to see a group of people who haven't changed as the world/country around them has.That's Starmer's gamble. Then as now, they continue not to reckon with a simple truth: we still need the EU more than they need us.

Brexiters haven't changed- but the country has.

The problem with the "tax the rich" fallacy is that it's another way of avoiding actually solving the problem properly.
There would be a LOT more tax coming in if the economy were stronger.
Brexit is by FAR the heaviest drag on the economy.
