Captures a period of political history.Churchill stood over the smouldering ruins of Parliament after a Luftwaffe raid.The poor little naked Vietnamese girl running from the napalm attack.The mounted copper with the riot stick in the Miners' Strike.Gordon Brown trying to keep a smile on his face and failing during the GFC.I wonder if this will be the defining image of this period of Tory rule?https://mobile.twitter.com/MarinaPurkiss/status/1545507260708884486
Yeah I remember that. Asking the public to have a vote to confirm that an outcome that had never been put to the public, but had been decided by a few dozen Tory MPs, was what the public wanted.How absolutely sticking it up the public that was!
I've literally no idea what you are talking about re:2016.Re:2017-19, circumstances change. By mid 2019, a no deal Brexit was firmly on the table. That was by no argument what the 2016 vote had mandated. In those circumstances, every previous argument is unvalidated.But tell me. Why does everything ALWAYS have to come back to Brexit? You won. It's done. Move on.

Branton.You've got your Brexit. Johnson delivered it for you. Not the one that was on the ballot paper as you interpreted it, granted, but one that satisfied the Tory party, which was always the only important point. Not every discussion has to vanish down this rabbit hole now. Move on.
Some of you need to get over yourselves. The idea of a vote is that the winner winsIt’s not if the loser doesn’t like the outcome you keep on votingYour like the SNP. There was a vote and a winner. Agree with it or disagree with it. Move on and let’s try to make it work.
BrantonYou STILL insisting that what is said before a vote ties the hands of politicians afterwards?Explain to me how that opinion fits with the Objective Truth that the UK didn't leave the SM and CU and then perhaps we can move on.If you're not going to explain that, then forgive me if I gnite your high flown rhetoric as only applying when you want it to apply.

Branton.This is a weird exchange. You previously seemed determined that the fact that several politicians said before the vote that voting Leave would mean leaving the SM (while, by the way, ignoring those who explicitly or implicitly said the opposite)
