Labour might mock the civil war and political disintegration of the Conservative government. The Nasty Party is back with a vengeance.
One-Nation Tories are as much of an endangered species as Yazidi Kurds. Parliament is gridlocked by daily recriminations that fill our newspapers and TV screens. But the issues at stake are too big to be left to the politics of derision.
For me, all serious options point towards a “People’s Vote.” This doesn’t mean the outcome would be any different. The nation is apparently divided a third, a third, a third, but there is a principle at stake. It is the trade union principle that negotiators negotiate, but the final say (on the final deal) always rests with the members. I don’t expect William Rees-Mogg to grasp this principle, but Labour ought to.
