Labour will end up backing a second referendum
Adonis predicts that Labour will back a second referendum, as it has embraced a meaningful Brexit transitional period. “Once Labour’s in favour it’s only a matter of time before the government has to concede … I would be very surprised if we’re not committed to a referendum on the exit terms within six months. The thing I only always learned from Tony [Blair] is ‘get the policy right and the politics will follow’. The right policy is a referendum on the exit terms, the politics will sort itself out.I'm alright JackComment

Last week a motorbike shop in the next town to me was broken into at around 5 am. The thieves nicked one bike and then came back but were confronted by one of the staff. So they smashed his face in. Fortunately the police arrived on the scene. 50 minutes later. There's a big police station two minutes walk away but of course it was empty and the coppers had to drive from the county headquarters twenty miles away.
Further economic distress will not be confined to the unwashed - we'll also all feel it as things crumble around us.
I've had the best private coverage for years - it's only sensible.
But you're right, the shrinkage in the economy after Brexit will put even more pressure on it.
I also expect the debt to GDP ratio to rise above 100%.Hard Brexit now!
