Brexit is destroying the Tories, which is justice when dragging Britain out of Europe was always a Right-wing plot.
Theresa May is being destroyed by her party’s nationalist reactionaries just like her predecessors David Cameron, John Major and Margaret Thatcher.
Her replacement will be too when warring families in this bloody civil war will never accept another’s king in the final series of the Tory version of Game of Thrones.
Voters are punishing the Tories, who are plummeting in the polls ahead of May 2’s English council elections then May 23’s European contests, reflecting how much Brexit is a Conservative shambles.
From Cameron betting and losing No10 on a tactical gamble to Mrs May’s botched negotiations and thumping Parliamentary defeats, this is a Tory show.
Oxford University social geographer Danny Dorling exposed the myth of the 2016 referendum as a Northern working class revolution when Southern middle class Tories overwhelmingly delivered a narrow result sneaked on lies and illegality.
Just like Cameron, May is being demolished by two-thirds of Tory voters backing Brexit when two-thirds of Labour wanted to stay in Europe.
Below a line from the Humber to the Severn, we find 52% of all quitters lived in southern England and 59% were middle class. The proportion of Leave voters in the lowest two social classes was just 24%.
It’s why the Labour leader in the European Parliament, Richard Corbett, should be heeded when he argues that Labour will gain most by promising a people’s vote.
Jeremy Corbyn is not convinced and nor are a sizeable rump of his MPs in seats in the North and Midlands, plus a few in South Wales, afraid of Nigel Farage’s noisy protesters.
Predictions that the Cons would lose 59 seats in a General Election and Labour’s 296 MPs would put Corbyn at the head of the biggest party, ruling as a minority or in coalition, are more likely to see him stick than twist.
Nobody on the Labour side I’ve spoken to expects talks with May to succeed or, I suspect, wants them to.
Brexit is breaking the Tories, yet Labour is still divided over how to pick up the pieces.
Rather than relying on the Cons to lose the next election, Corbyn could win as leader of a British socialist party offering hope in Europe.
We’re not there yet.
