The Brexit - Hokey Cokey.

 Why is Andy Burnham, suggesting a closer relationship with the EU? Is he serious or is he trying to protect his left flank - from the Green Party and the left of the Labour Party? At this point it’s difficult to know, but this political - hokey cokey is an attempt to appeal to all sides in the debate. It’s now 10 years since the - trauma of the 2016 referendum on Brexit and the scars have hardly healed. For my own part I don’t want to go through this again. It was emotionally exhausting and draining - it set family members and friends against each other. Moreover - do the governments of the EU want us back in a club - where we were often at odds with? In addition we wouldn’t be able as before - not be part of the Euro, free movement of people and goods, and ever closer integration. I cannot see it happening in the near future.
