No

Even if Labour fully get what they want, the benefit is negligible\niche.

And divergence is happening at speed on pollution, on AI, on finance & more behind the scenes. No headlines.

"Moving closer" is a con.

A tactic to avoid being held to account for the strategic failure to Rejoin.

Does this say more about the direction the money-based, undemocratic, power-wielders in the smoke-filled back rooms want this country to go, rather than Burnham's weaselly words?

It's really not a good look to ignore 61% of the country.

Sadiq Khan completes Burnham's speech for him.

Burnham. Khan: We *are* drifting in the wrong direction.
Burnham. Khan: It did start with Brexit.
Er...
Khan: We should Rejoin the EU.

Yesterday, a 30\yr ban on marches was removed in Portadown.

Cynics might ask why this happened only weeks after the 3 devolved powers meeting/Reunification boost.

Or UK-wide, why are so many violent incidents being 'allowed'.
Distraction from how screwed this Brexitland really is?

The mob are shouting "anti-fascist!" while harassing the political canvasser seemingly unaware that one of the traits of fascism is violent suppression of the opposition...

I have no problem with this whatsoever. I cheer.

But I am mindful they haven't even competed their million and a half 'starter home' building manifesto promise yet... and their loading yet more on top.

The puppet master called....

....and his puppets came running.

I thought after the disaster of Brexit, we'd stopped letting overseas interests boss us around. Apparently not the Tories.
