Completely mind-blowing. Brexit and its “management” will go down as one of the biggest follies of modern times and makes us look every inch the basket case of the Western World. |  |

Yes, I can. The right would be organising a military coup at the first suggestion of a lockdown and the centrists in the labour PLP and the Guardian would be backing them. |  |

We could have done had the Tory Party been able to accept that there are costs to Brexit. We're still no closer to that so it has to be everyone else's fault. |  |

Corbyn isn’t PM because too many people , even pre Covid, could imagine the consequences, although I doubt they realized how big a majority they were giving Johnson. |  |

“Imagine” being the operative word, stoked by a media that was ridiculously partisan and intent on smearing the left. I can’t think of another country in Western Europe that would get itself into such a tizzy over what was effectively social democracy. That’s the sort of country that hands power to BoJo and his chums as if they’re doing us a favour. [Post edited 21 Dec 2020 18:42]
