I would be very happy for a strategy giving us a chance to decide whether to try to go back in or not. You clearly feel that the last referendum and all that surrounded it gave us a final judgement. I don't.

I did vote Labour, voted for the non-right wing candidate most likely to win our constituency. Must have been naïve in terms of thinking the current Labour leadership would come around to giving us the chance to re-enter the EU at or before the next election.

As I understood it we were supposed to have a balanced TV media. How were the likes of GB News allowed to emerge. Did Parliament vote for this change? If they did then this surely needs to be revisited.

Like a large number of people in the country I think reversing Brexit is crucial to our recovery. I'll stick to that belief whatever the weather. For a long time since the we left the EU we have had no real champion who would commit to reversing the decision. Mind, Labour do need to sell themselves

Long time Labour voter, like to go with Labour but not until they do something substantial about reversing Brexit, tackle OfCom about balance on GBNews and the like. Not getting far on these so its the Greens or Lib Dems for me.

There were probably more. My grandfather George Robinson, a former boxing fleet fisherman, spent three years from 1936 on a tanker running fuel into Spanish Government forces fighting Franco and the fascists and was dive bombed in harbour on at least one occasion.
