The whole Brexit argument seems fatally mired in disinformation and I admit to being confused by many aspects. However, I do travel regualrly to the west of Ireland and visit businesses in Tralee, Athlone, Limerick, Killarney, Clifden and Sligo: I can honestly say I have not met a single person who is urging the Irish government to reach a deal with the UK. Rather the mood seems to be one of regret with a slight but growing hostility towards the English. As for Labour I suspect they will be virtually destroyed at the next election as Brexit party members will return to the Tories or reach an accommodation. The idea of a similar arrangement between Labour and the Lib Dems is I think illusionary. I noted yesterday's poll which showed a shockingly high proportion of Labour voters in 2017 stating they would ditch the party. Contrary to Millerbill though the ratio of those leaving to support Remain parties outnumbered those proposing to vote Tory or Brexit Party by 4 to 1.
