1/ "I believe this can once again be the best country to grow up in and the best country to grow old in." What? no sunlit uplands and unicorns? And "best" please KS treat us like adults - less of the hyperbole and more truth please. The Brexit deal is shite - you voted for it. https://twitter.com/BBCNews/status/1344443872055873540
2/ Had you abstained the Tories would still have got it through but they would have owned it completely. Now, for as long as your parliamentary career lasts, you will be seen as supporting the worst decision since 1914. The MSM would have scorched you for abstaining but in time
3/ as more cobs of shit hit the fan you would have been able to show clean hands Now you are a hostage to fortune. You said you would support this deal before anybody knew the terms and conditions. As a lawyer you surely knew that was foolish and would lead to Lab disunity?
4/ And to 60% of the country (partic. the young) who see Brexit as a mistake, you will not be seen as a defender of their rights but as co-conspirator with the worst govt. since 1914. Any idea that you can heal this country or even win in 2024 now seems simply unplausible. Sorry.
