The Brexit result was part of that wave - not a reaction to it.
That's right, and the populist tsunami is crashing through Europe and is very much still present in Britain ready to gather momentum if need be.
Centrists and liberals still don't understand the change around them, they just don't get it.
Trump will triumph in the mid-terms, your Unicorn blue wave was yet another liberal fantasy.Restless, somebody pour me a vino.0 -

No it's not.
The Brexit ref was super hyped. If nothing changes, and we end up paying more for the privilege, expect the radicals to paint it as a sell out.
Whether people can be bothered to express their dissatisfaction through the ballot box, now that's a different matter. It doesn't mean to say they are happy.0 -

I'm looking forward to reading a few autobiographies in a few years time. Rees-Mogg definitely went through a phase of pulling his neck in - there was a reason for that.
Hopefully we'll see shortly whether the latter is true or not. I looked at the order-order post above - apparently the numbers are there but the hard brexit mob are asking MPs not to send any more letters so they can get their summer holidays out of the way first. As if.
Given that everyone on the planet is expecting the EU to look at this white paper and say thanks but no thanks I can’t see any logical reason why these dastardly ERG MPs would force the issue now.
Probably the best thing they could do is ramp up the pressure to get some concessions that make TMs job even harder.
You know, the exact same tactic that Clarke, soubry, grieve et al have been using for months.0 -

Precisely the reason this thread is still running over 2 years later. History shapes our future. History is in the making.0 -
Cracking joke in the DT today:
2 guys standing in front of the result board of yesterday’s England-Croatia match. “Mrs May says it was a good outcome and it gave us most of what we wanted”0 -

I see the egotist is helping May out by telling her a trade deal is a non starter with him if she sticks to her plans and how Boris would make a very good PM. How can May possibly endure such lack of respect and open derision for her?
I remember Obama being told to keep his nose out when he advised us to stay in the EU a couple of years ago. I remember Boris saying that Obama probably hated this country because of his Kenyan heritage. I'm sure Farage and Boris will be standing up to Trump and calling him out for embarrassing his host...... after all these men care about the dignity of this country so much.......
Or is the new reality of us as a supplicant turning a deaf year to the insults pleading at the table for the favours of the biggest bully on the block going to continue. The Germans and French will be noting what we are becoming.0 -
Now that Trump has opened his mouth we’re going to have to endure all of the brexiteers on here complaining that the president should keep his nose out of our politics just like they did when Obama butted in around the time of the referendum.0

......or conversely remainers welcoming an honest interjection from our closest ally? It works both ways me old China.“Britain- A friend to all, beholden to none”. 🇬🇧0
