Interference is easy to prove or disprove if, unlike Boris Johnson, you can be bothered to investigate, influence almost impossible. The average Brexit voter would not be able to tell you which lies - or liars - they found most persuasive. Many of them still claim they didn't fall for any of them.

Superb point. Where the Brexiters failed is in durable consent. Who benefits from it their project & wants to carry it forward? Who in the next generations are thanking them for Brexit and championing it? No-one. If we get the UK into EU membership, it must be underpinned by durable consent.

New Great British Rail rolling stock strategy is out. Since privatisation, trains have been leased from private rolling stock companies (ROSCOs). GBR will now assess the merits of direct (public) ownership for each new fleet, and buy outright where that offers the "strongest overall outcome"

Andy Burnham: “If she is saying she is happy with the status quo, she is in a minority in this country. People know Britain can do better than this." 🚨 Burnham is right: the public is unhappy with our current relationship with the EU. In fact, 628 out of 632 constituencies now want EU membership.

Ridiculous statement. Burnham is bound by a manifesto that he didn't write. If he went against it, there'd be uproar. He is planning to negotiate with the EU in Nov. Johnson is a self-serving liar who used brexit as a pathway to No 10 without ever having a plan.

It's a requirement that there will be a referendum before joining. But it's held after the negotiations so that the people of the UK can see what they are voting for, unlike in 2016 when they had no idea what brexit actually looked like.

Burnham, unlike Starmer, gets that if you have political capital, use it; and that if something is wrong, don’t let it fester, hoping problem will go away, but tackle it. His statements are at last lifting the miasma of lies, deceit and disingenuity around Brexit and opening space for proper debate
