Ten years too late, we might realise that the Brexit referendum wasn’t really about Europe, but about the dissatisfaction of a large swathe of voters with the state of the country and ‘the system’. The tragedy is that an entire British political class used that disenchantment for its own political ends. They promised voters one thing, delivered another, and never took responsibility for any of it.

A decade on, Brexit is still shaping UK politics. The data shows a clear trend: the higher the Brexit vote in 2016 the more likely a big Reform UK vote now. My column:- times-comment.com/elections

I‘d very much prefer he’d stop saying ‚I’ll make Brexit work‘ It’s dishonest. You can’t make it work. You can only undo it. Or at least admit it was a mistake. Everything else is tactical gaslighting.

I want to reset our relationship with the EU and make Brexit work for the British people. Looking forward to visiting Brussels next week to start discussions with @vonderleyen.

If Starmer’s serious about “rooting out 14 years of Tory rot”, it’ll take more than new management - the country is crying out for a new mindset too. For inspiration & hope. The last thing we need is more austerity - policies like wealth taxes mean we *can* invest in our future

Future generations will study how media outlets called on Biden to drop out following a terrible debate performance, but not on Trump after being found guilty of 34 felony counts. A complete and utter failure of our media and our country.

It's been four years since I was asked for three or four changes in political journalism that might begin to right this ship. (Emphasis on "begin to...") Here is what I came up with.

This weekend, Britain may be about to have its worst traffic jam ever. Up to five hours of delay for 100,000 drivers or more. Would you believe me if I told you the reason is because Britain's most hated motorway is too good? Or that someone had a semi-secret plan to fix that🧵

Where is the money? My childhood was poor, but there were libraries, parks, youth clubs, police on the street, Nit nurses in schools, NHS Dentists, Doctor appts within a day or two, milk in schools, free school dinners! Fewer tax payers. Where is the money?

Sorry. Maybe I have false memory syndrome, but I don’t remember the Brexit campaigners during referendum warning companies that cost of doing business was going to rise steeply and become ever more bureaucratic. Maybe I wasn’t paying attention
