Re: Labour Party
Not that this has anything to do with the thread topic but, delighted as I am about the referendum result, I reserve my judgement about May.
Good that some Brexiteers have got what seems to be the job of getting out of the EU but I'm wary that an arch-remainer like Hammond, who was one of the worst offenders when it came to spouting Project Fear, is at the Treasury. Hammond reckons it will take six years to get free!
The Treasury has a long history of thwarting any change or reform and, if he and his Whitehall mandarins can stall any decision for four years (you can predict the doom-mongering predictions from so-called Treasury forecasters, and cries for more time, whenever a deal looks close) the next general election could end up being, in effect, a second referendum, but with all mainstream parties wanting to remain.
Hope I'm wrong but "Brexit means Brexit" from the mouth of a seasoned politician may not be quite the same as "Leave means Leave".
