WE are all aware that the debate around Brexit split the left as it did the right. And those of us who voted to leave the EU found ourselves uncomfortably in bed with some unsavoury and duplicitous characters.
We have been unsurprisingly tarred with the same brush and called myopic, xenophobic and “little Englanders.”
Many conflate a wish to leave the EU with a wish to leave Europe — two very different things. Irrespective of desired aims, no-one on the left would have chosen this incompetent and extreme right-wing government to be in the driving seat during negotiations to leave.
