As Left Remainers are unifying, here's a quick tour of Brexit fratricide
The Leave campaign is run by ‘cretins’ who are ‘treating the public as fools’.
Don’t take our word for it. That’s just what they’ve said about each other.
As the Remain camp looks increasingly unified, (especially in on its Left flank), here’s a reminder of recent fratricide among the Brexiters:
– Nigel Farage has called the leaders of Vote Leave, the official Leave campaign, ‘cretins’ who are more interested in Tory politics than Brexit.
Asked if he and its leaders Matthew Elliott and Dominic Cummings want the same outcome, Farage replied: ‘Do they? I think they’re a bit more worried about who succeeds Cameron in No 10.’
– Vote Leave say Nigel Farage is ‘toxic’ and ‘puts voters off’. Farage told the Guardian Vote Leave are briefing against him ‘every day’, adding: ‘It’s crackers to think that you can win a referendum campaign with Boris and the likes of the cabinet. You can’t.’
– Pro-Brexit MP Sarah Wollaston says the Leave campaign was making ‘misleading’ and ‘outlandish claims’, accusing it of ‘cynical distortion’.
She adds: ‘the Leave campaign clearly does not have an extra £350m per week to promise the NHS and they should stop treating the public as fools.’
– Leave.EU funder Arron Banks has called Vote Leave director Dominic Cummings ‘a liability and a danger to both Leave campaigns’.
Banks also funds UKIP and recently said families losing thousands of pounds a year is a ‘price worth paying’ for Brexit.
– Pro-Brexit novelist Dreda Say Mitchell says Nigel Farage lacks ‘a basic level of empathy and respect’. When debating alongside him recently she was appalled by his comments on immigration and diversity.
Mitchell wrote later she had wanted to ‘swap chairs around so I could enjoy more congenial company’.

Please look at this excellent leading website for the views of one of the leading Brexiteers on the subject of the vote leave morons. We see it as a government stitch-up.

I’m inclined to vote Remain for most of the reasons that are self-evident, principally though because it is a safeguard like none I have known in my lifetime. It is highly probable that Hitler’s ambitions would have been thwarted by collective action ergo: no WW2. The one reservation I have is that I doubt if Cameron has the strength (or even the honesty) to fight successfully for the changes that could only be made from within the EU
