The Leavers are Broken. Nobody is in a Position to Implement Brexit. Let's End this Madness and Make a Fresh Start
What a shambles! The quitters have quit. The splitters have split! The wreckers have resigned. Boris, Farage, IDS, Fox, Gove, Leadsom - resigned, withdrawn, unsupported. Not one of the Leavers has the wit or courage or competence even to carry out out Brexit - let alone lead tough negotiations with the EU or with the rest of the world. The Referendum was hardly decisive - 37% of the electorate should not be allowed to bring ruin on the whole country. 63% did not vote to Leave - either not voting at all or being part of the 16 million who actively voted to Remain. A 51.9% vote wouldn't even let you change the constitution of a golf club - let alone threaten a continent, divide the UK and betray the hopes and aspirations of our youth! Was it all a joke?

Bring all sides together to negotiate our future with Europe
It is vital to avoid the EU referendum result leaving an appalling legacy of division in the UK In 1981, the Labour party conference decided to leave the European Community despite the British people having voted to remain inside it six years earlier, in the 1975 referendum. At the time, I wrote a letter to the Guardian drawing attention to the desperate situation in which the centre-left found itself. Today, I raise a similar warning at a time when the country is in serious need of an effective opposition to maintain the best possible relationship with the EU.
