#FPBE, Rejoin, European, failing to make sense of Brexit Britain, but sailing frees the spirit, cycling keeps me fit, music nourishes the soul. Francophile with genes to back it up. My dog is my master, obviously.

I understand Labour is scared of taking on the false narrative of Brexit but the “not in my lifetime” shtick is a tacit admission that Brexit is doing harm to the UK and Labour doesn’t have the wherewithal to counter it. That’s an admission of weakness and people can feel it. 2/2

Every stone you turn over, trying to fix what's ailing the UK, you find Brexit. Sometimes a lot, sometimes a little, but always some. Usually of the red line variety that can't be productively worked around.
Until addressed, UK will be stuck w/ expensive ugly kludges that don't really work.

Actually, the UK beat them to it. Let's not forget the catastrophic lie that was Brexit and the open desire for a no-deal outcome. The neo-liberals - after decades of undercover psychological warfare from opaque think tanks - are finally revealing themselves.

This is precisely why renewables are key to energy and national security. No bad actor can simply switch off the supply of sun or wind, or make them more expensive on a whim. Some countries recognized this years ago; some did not.
