Despite this last weekend being far quieter on the political front than the previous one, I still had quite a sour taste in my mouth over the news media coverage of the Article 16 issue that previous weekend. Even now, ten days later, I have yet to see any evidence that Article 16 was in […]
Starmer’s decision to chase the Red Wall vote and the expense of Rejoining the EU has caused considerable concern to many in the Rejoin movement. This vote chasing in the long term will do nobody any favours and will most likely backfire on Labour. His stance is probably strongly influenced by his new policy chief […]
In this piece, I am going to suggest that, although the conscienceless Tories and Brexit are problems, they are not the real problem. Yes they need to be sorted, and yes, in the short term, their impact is very damaging, but actually they are symptoms, and their origin is something much more fundamental. The painful […]
This last weekend has been one of the most difficult weekends that the Remain/Rejoin movement has ever had to endure. What started as a simple contractual dispute concerning the failure of Astra Zeneca to meet its contractual obligations to deliver a certain number of vaccines to the EU very rapidly and very publicly spiralled out […]
This weekend I was planning to write about Starmer and his current refusal to contemplate placing Rejoining the EU onto the agenda of the Labour Party. Instead, I find myself in very much the same situation as last weekend, i.e. writing about the fact that our opposition is currently still very active and that we […]
We are currently seeing much concern and indeed criticism of the EU over the issue of Astra Zeneca vaccines. In such circumstances it is often a good idea to stand back and break the issue down into its component parts. What we are seeing is essentially a dispute over a contract entered into between two […]
We wish to state that we are not “getting behind” Brexit. Brexit has taken place and we are now experiencing the consequences. We must all in the coming period work together to do the best for our country by limiting, mitigating and repairing the immediate damage which Brexit is now inflicting on us. However we […]
Amongst the most common comments I see relating to the campaign to Rejoin are those along the lines that we must wait or the time isn’t right or we can’t do anything now because the Tory party has such a huge majority. Other comments relate to either Keir Starmer or Ed Davey playing some sort […]
Recent days have brought a lot of huffing and puffing on the topic of putting right the Brexit damage and restoring Britain to EU membership. Exploring theories with multiple options is a valuable exercise, but like many brain-storming sessions, the eventual conclusion ends up being not too far from the status quo. Essentially, politics is […]
Lib Dem is a very tired brand. Were I still running my marketing company I might well be using Lib Dem as the best available example of ‘brand death’. A massive lift is needed. I read a comment claiming that the Party should concentrate on selling its current USP: It doesn’t have one. However the […]
