Brexit update

I said a few years back that I would only write about Brxit if there were any new policies, or movement on the issue.

Well, during the Labour conference, Andy Burnham, the Prime Minister, called for closer links to the Eu, though what exactly those closer links could be wan't explained. He also repeated this in the House of Commons.

Last week, in a TV interview he revealled he had been told that there was Russian interferance on the Brexit Referendum, this again he repated in the HoC earlier this week.

There will be "reset" talks in November, however, these have been much postponed and delyed since July, so how much store we should put into this is unclear.

What it has done is started the national discussion regarding Brexit, whether it has been a success or failur, and the consequences of that vote.

As I have also said previously, this is the discussion we should have had before the vote, but here we are.

Lead Brexit negotiator un Boris Johnson was David Frost, and he said that if we were still talking about Brexit after five years, then t would have failed.

So, by his words, Brexit has failed.

And yet the ills of the country and economy are still being blamed on migrants. Robert Jenrick this week called for lethal force to be used on those crossing the Channel.

If such an order were given to UK Forces by a Farage Government, this would be an illegal order, and should be refused. That Farage had rowed back from that is at least something.

For the economy, lower than expected numbers of people coming to live and work in the UK means there is a £7billion hole on the Chancellors finances. I mean, who'd have thought that would be the consequences?

For now, Reform vote share has been falling, and more by-elections and local elections have failed to elect candidates from his party. And in elections, voters seem to vote for whoever will defeat those candidates from his party. Of course, whether this will be carried out in a general election is unknown, but with his popularity stalling at the polls, the media still talk to people from Reform with a handful of MPs, rather than say the Lib Dems of Greens who have many more times the MPs in Westminster.

Currently 57% of people think it was wrong to leave the EU, while 30% still think it was a good idea.

So, let's see what November brings in those talks with the EU.
