I am a lifelong Lib Dem and former councillor. I thought the scheme was a grotesque failure from the start: it stopped me supporting my party for 5 years. It's time the people who helped cause the disaster start saying how they will repair the damage. @charlotte-cane-mp.bsky.social what do you say?

Future changes and developments.
That's normal, isn't it?
So even though I am not happy with the tone of the debate I do acknowledge that EU commentators are in the right and UK exceptionalists are in the wrong.
