It is the right way to go - leaving the EU has been a disaster. But refusing to admit it has cost Labour precious time and credibility As we said previously. Labour not talking Brexit made them feel dishonest to many people. Is it now far too little too late to win back trust?

How long before great swathes of planet earth are declared uninhabitable for humans (except billionaires in their air-conditioned bunkers)
