    Presumably so they can replace it with something that’s more clearly dystopian instead

      Yeah, but if there’s one thing Nige knows… it’s which way the wind is blowing.

      Let’s hope Jezza comes out against this ridiculous law.

            Jeremy Corbyn by failing to stop Brexit by being a fencesitter in the 2019 election

              He couldn’t. Referendum already happened, he wasn’t in power. He tried to sort it in Parliament first, but Greens, SNP and Liberals backed the snap election. Labour lost in the red wall, by bleeding Brexit votes to the Tories. Moving closer to remain would have gave bigger majorities in remain seats and a bigger hammering in more marginals.

              In conclusion, your assertion has no basis in reality.

              You hate him because he couldn’t do something impossible.

    No shit, it’s something people hate so of course they’d vow to repeal it, doesn’t mean jack shit though because it’d be one step forward and two steps back, as they’d just find some even worse thing to do than Labour.

    I don’t want reform to gain power, but hopefully this makes Labour realise they made a mistake and revert this stupid law. It’s scary how fast Reform is growing.

    Crap idea? Check.
    Unpopular with everyone? Check.
    Lumbered on the current government by the previous, so hard to reverse quickly? Check.
    The conservatives (and Labour’s lack of action) just handed reform a beautiful less-racist onramp.

      Worth remembering all these Labour fucks voted for it and supported it, they’ve had a year to bin this and they could have.

      Remember when Cameron sacked off ID cards straight after getting in?
