@RhonddaBryant This is being manufactured.

@nadhimzahawi Here's a clue: you're in government. Not Labour. You.

@alexhallhall And I hear you absolutely on that. *Sigh*

[Luke Tryl @LukeTryl]

From focus groups we know this tension between thinking Brexit a mistake but not wanting to rejoin is explained by public exhaustion. After Brexit, Covid, Ukraine, Cost of Living (and a feeling nothing in the UK works anymore) people are desperate to avoid more acrimony & turmoil

[Luke Tryl @LukeTryl]

It seems Starmer’s EU strategy is the right one. By *three to one* swing voters say a commitment from Labour to rejoin would make them less likely to vote for the party. (swing voters here are Tory 2019 voters who now say they’ll vote Labour or don’t know who they’ll vote for)

@alexhallhall The patient is in no mood to hear it right now. The election is Starmer's to lose. Reopen Brexit, and he gives the Tories and the media a big, big stick to beat him with.

@mikeskessler @yessfun Curious... do you then put quote marks round that summary, or just use reported speech? Because to me, if someone didn't say the exact words, it shouldn't be in quote marks.

@elonmusk Are you really this stupid?

[DoubleJump @DoubleJump10]

@ChillaxBcn @gary_winter1935 I voted no -- because I am sick of referendums. They are not the right way to handle complex policy questions and I would have no confidence in this one either.

[DoubleJump @DoubleJump10]

@ChillaxBcn Yes. Next.

[DoubleJump @DoubleJump10]

@falafelman930 @ChillaxBcn Exactly this. The election is now Labour's to lose, and he is making as sure as can be that that doesn't happen.

[DoubleJump @DoubleJump10]

One possibility with Starmer on "making Brexit work": he knows that anything concrete on closer ties to Europe is hostage to fortune. Why promise something where delivery is out of your hands *and* the Tories will have a field day with it.

@edwinhayward @Patrici89225734 Ultimately, full membership is the only option, because to be a rule-taker without influence will be unsustainable. But as a start anything, literally anything, including just not insulting our neighbours at every turn.

@MosquitoCapital Loved this, and so beautifully written!

This is not capitalism, this is naked greed and it stinks.
