Is this some kind of teenage girls’ dormitory?
Brexit, surely deserves some real thought, not just idle gossip.

See – Article 345
(ex Article 295 TEC)
The Treaties shall in no way prejudice the rules in Member States governing the system of property ownership.

But I have not been a member of the Labour Party in many years, and I never will be again. If I thought that Keir Starmer had pulled a fast one on Jeremy Corbyn and committed Labour to the Single-Market-and-Customs-Union-forever that is favoured by most of the Cabinet, then I would say so. I am not saying so, because I can see no evidence whatever that that is so. None of the several key policies in Labour’s 2017 manifesto that were absolutely incompatible with Single Market membership has been abrogated in any way. Several of those policies, such as the renationalisation of the railways, were and are immensely popular, and it is undeniable that everyone who voted Labour this year did at some level vote for that manifesto. Therefore, it simply cannot be the case that the majority of those voters was in favour of “Soft Brexit”.
