Without wanting to reopen the bile discussion that Brexit usually brings, it’s refreshing to hear a more sensible tone being struck about our relationship with the bloc. Less time spent grandstanding and more time spent agreeing better solutions is the way forward.

He also said he was “very interested” in talking to EU countries about new rules to reverse plummeting school trips since Brexit, and was looking to see “what more can be done” to ease touring rules for professional musicians.

I know the best answer is to rejoin but quite simply neither Labour nor the Conservatives are up for that. So we need to be realistic and reach as best possible solution as we can in the interim.

Maybe we need to stop voting for Labour and the Tories? Dunno, just a thought 🤔.

      Totally understand your response. But we are where we are at the moment. What do you suggest can reasonably happen given both Labour and the Tories are in lock step regarding our membership - as in neither of them want to get back in and will actively keep us out of it wins them votes.

      At some point we need to realise this and make the best of the situation, no?

          No, as in we don’t need to make the best of the situation (fair enough?

          Again, what are your solutions given the political intransigence from both main parties and especially the next government at this point in time.

          The situation isn’t going to improve in the ways you want it to so you can either go worse or you can try and make the best of it. Do you not want that? Sorry I might have misunderstood what you’re saying.

              Err… Ok. I think I’ve asked you quite politely for your thoughts on the subject but you haven’t felt that you could give them. I’m sorry I don’t have the ability to read your mind so the best I can do is ask you questions. I apologise if this offended you.

              Have a nice Friday night.
