Brexit was never about regaining our borders, sovereignty, cheaper food etc. It was to protect the money of the rich held in tax havens. Once we accept that as being the driver, then it all makes perfect sense. There never were any opportunities, it was for the benefit of the 1%.

Labour’s latest attack on asylum seekers is cruel & counterproductive. How does it help community cohesion to hold threat of deportation over vulnerable people? We don’t need an arms race with the hard right over asylum, we need safe routes & European cooperation #bbclaurak

Does the Labour Party not realise, that by winning support from the right wing nutters over their latest announcement about immigrants, they're alienating their supporters. Not a good move and totally unforgivable.
