Important thread on Labour and any 🇬🇧 / 🇪🇺 reset or join application I think this is the correct take Labour are too terrified and not that interested There are lots of 'pro EU' sounding words but the actions are anti EU on even things like treatment of EU citizens. Always watch the actions.

I think this is right. I don't think the UK is going to get a PM who would like to join the EU because England is just too screwed. Both the Conservative types are too screwed and the Labour types are similarly, also too screwed. Scotland should go it alone instead.

I don't really understand why these Labour types bend over backwards for the far right and provide them with policy ideas. Government spending is too high vs govt income because Labour have screwed businesses with Brexit and tax rises. Giving the far right policy ideas is really stupid though.
