Time is tight

Brexit hasn't gone away.

Although, we cannot vote to remain any more.

We have left.

We left the EU on 31st January this year, and the only way to rejoin is via Article 49. If the EU would have us back. And there is little passion in the political bubble or in the print media to do that or support it.

But, Brexit has happened, that part of the process, the executing of any "mandate" that the 2016 referendum result may have granted. Anything beyond leaving the EU is not the "people's will", if there is a hard or no deal Brexit now, then that is a political decision by Johnson.

Johnson was elected to conclude the WA and PD he had negotiated. He had no electoral mandate to force the UK into a no deal, with the associated cots to businesses and the economy that would cause.

Opposition parties should be hammering the Government on the current "final" negotiations sent this week, to conclude a trade agreement that is in the UK's best interest. This is really the last chance to fight. Fight for our human rights. Our worker's rights. Our environmental standards. Food standards.

Everything.

And there is silence, no scrutiny.

Brexit is done, but the worse of the damage can still be prevented.

Remember, you can have lots of trade and not much control, or lots of trade and not much control. The Government is ignoring this basic fact, and pushing to have lots of control with lots of trade. Reality doesn't work like that. Trade and travel is heaviest and cheapest between neighbouring countries. This will not change. The UK will have to trade with the EU because of reality and the laws of economics. Brexit only works if the intention is not to trade.

But then we'd all suffer.
