Hush

THe 2019 election was a vote either to support or reject Johnson's oven ready deal.

BY then, people had had enough of Brexit, and were told his deal would stop the need to talk about it again. Even as he rejected wat his very deal would mean where the Single Market and Great Britain met.

So, you would have thought that the election last week would have at least featured, at least in part, what voters thought of Brexit and that deal.

But it wasn't mentioned by either of the two main parties, only the LibDem mentioned it in their manifesto. Labour didn't mention it lest reopen the Leave Remoan battlefront, where the Tories could claim "they're trying to take your Brexit away from you."

Not that that would be a bad thing, of course.

And the Conservative would have only mentioned it had it delivered the much promised sunlit uplands.

So, with Brexit adversely affecting most aspects of life and business in the country, and closer ties to the Bloc is the only way to really revive the economy, it wasn't mentioned.

Since the result, The Foreign Secretary has visited German and other EU capitals, and spke in non-confrontational terms, the need for closer ties on security and so on.

Of course its al a little disappointing to those who hoped a quicker road to rejoin, but the truth is, there is just one way to rejon, like any new member state, they have to comply with Article 49, and there would have to be a broad political concencous here about rejoining.

We're not ready yet.

We're not ready to discuss the poor choices we have made and how to correct them. But it will come.

But slowly.

At least we have adults in Government now.
