  1. Er, no. More people voted for remain and people's votes parties than for brexit parties. "The British people" voted against Brexit. Wait and see how popular chlorinated chicken is ... and the 40 extra hospitals lie!!

  2.  @jamiebaldwin5323  Labour ran on a people's vote. The general election showed a clear majority voting for parties supporting either remaining in the EU or a people's vote. There is no mandate for a hard Brexit or anything approximating it, which is what Cummings seems to want.

  4.  @RottingEarth  Labour's collapse is due to having a hard-left leader. It's nothing to fo with me. The only people in recent times saying a parliamentary majority was irrelevant are the hard Brexiteers. Not only was the 2016 referendum not about a hard Brexit, the general election just held showed a clear majority voting for parties supporting either remaining in the EU or a people's vote. These are the facts.

  6.  @stefansamuels8605  London is the capital and the country isn't going to be held ransom by a bunch of right-wing nutters who want to chemcially correct gays, eat chlorinated chicken or allow the US corporates into the NHS. Not only was the 2016 referendum not about a hard Brexit, the general election just held showed a clear majority voting for parties supporting either remaining in the EU or a people's vote.

  7.  @andrewsanders602  I wouldn't think of Johnson as a "good guy". No, my point wasn;t about goodies and badies. The election showed a clear majority voting for parties supporting either remaining in the EU or a people's vote. This is just a fact.

  8.  @andrewsanders602  I'm fine. I made a fortune on the collapse of sterling after the Brexit vote.

  9.  @andrewsanders602  A Pole is from Poland. Maybe you mean a poll? Funny how the Brexiteers had been arguing that a low pound was good for exports suddenly wanted a higher pound!

  10.  @andrewsanders602  Nope. The Brexiteers said a low pound was good, now they say it's good it's gone up. As for the election, more people voted for remain and people's votes parties than for brexit parties. End of.

  16.  @Famof8  Go back and read the manifestos. Labour promised a people's vote. The majority of people voted for parties who either supported remaining in the EU or a people's vote. This is just a fact.

  17.  @Famof8  I didn't say everyone voting Labour supported remaining in the EU. I said parties supporting remaining in the EU or a people's won a majority of the votes. Those parties supporting the Johnson deal or an even harder Brexit without a people's vote won a minority of vote cast. Your point that the Tories won most seats does not change any of these facts.

  20.  @kristinesharp6286  People didn't vote for a hard Brexit. Not only was the 2016 referendum not about a hard Brexit, the general election just held showed a clear majority voting for parties supporting either remaining in the EU or a people's vote. Support for the EU in Ireland - as in the other 26 EU countries - has gone up with the fiasco of Brexit.

  21.  @kristinesharp6286  Europe isn't one country! Brilliant. No-one realised that!! Now instead of exporting into the EU27 England can export to itself. Brilliant. That should open up all the coal mines again.

  22.  @kristinesharp6286  I'm sure Johnson will revive the coal industry like his hero Thatcher - and sell it to Africa to help them keep warm.

  24.  @routeman680  Indeed they did. But there was no a majority of votes in the general election for parties supporting the Johnson version of Brexit. Nor even for the Johnson Brexit plus the WTO Brexit advocated by the Faragists. So there is no mandate in terms of popular votes for Johnson's course.

  25.  @routeman680  The referendum made no mention of any kind of Brexit and was compatible with the Norway example praised by Farage during the campaign (ie staying in the single market). The referendum was no mandate for a hard or hardish Brexit - and neither was the recent general election, as most voters voted for parties opposing it.

  26.  @tadasblindavicius8889  The massive benefit is ready access to the EU single market. £16i millions a week in pittance for that. On top of the £24–31 billion weakening of the public finances by 2020 from the short-term impacts of leaving the EU for an EEA or FTA scenario, WTO membership would leave the government needing to find a further £4–8 billion, and more in the long term. Contrasting EEA and an FTA is more difficult, as the assumptions on budget contributions matter and these are uncertain. Still, overall, even the UK’s current net EU budget contribution of £8 billion is small relative to public finance impacts from the economy relating to membership and access, and budget contributions may therefore be an area of potential compromise in negotiations.
