Labour would fall behind the Liberal Democrats in the polls if Jeremy Corbyn helps the Tories to secure Brexit, according to a huge new poll. The YouGov survey of 5,000 voters, commissioned by the People’s Vote campaign, shows that support for Labour could fall from 36% to 22% if they helped the Tories to pass a compromise deal with Brussels like the one advocated by Theresa May. Under those circumstances, the Lib Dems would soar from 10% to 26% — their highest rating in any poll since they entered coalition government with the Tories in 2010. The poll shows that Labour’s supporters want a People’s Vote by a margin of almost three to one — and an even bigger proportion would stay in the European Union if they were given the chance. Those who voted Labour last year and remain the year before say they are more likely to switch to the Liberal Democrats (49%) than stay with Labour (41%). The survey suggests no compensating boost among those who voted leave in the referendum. In fact, it would be the Conservatives who would benefit if both main parties backed Brexit. Their support among leave voters would rise from 62% to 69%. Labour support among leave voters would slip from 21% to 19%.
Brexit has paralysed British politics: it has left the government utterly incapacitated, ministers warring and both main parties riven by splits. It is absorbing every shred of political energy; in the words of one official, it has wiped the policy grid clean. Yet in every nook and cranny of the state – from understaffed hospitals to the schools sending parents begging letters for financial support – there are problems that demand urgent focus and resource. We also face huge social challenges that require action now, from how to care for an ageing society to how to prepare for the impact of technology on the world of work. All this is going ignored, with detrimental effects on people’s lives. There is a grim paradox at the heart of Brexit. The vote for Britain to leave the EU was partly fuelled by the sense among many voters that there are increasingly two Britains: a thriving capital barely touched by recession and boarded-up high streets outside the south-east. This has been a long project in the making, driven by decades of deindustrialisation and uneven economic growth that have contributed to some of the biggest regional inequalities in western Europe. Yet Brexit is going to make it far harder to respond to this gap, which has only got wider since the financial crisis. Of course, not all that’s transpired since June 2016 can be laid at the door of Brexit. Deliberate political choices made since 2010 at first contributed to the economic dissatisfaction that paved the way for the vote and since then have made it worse. Even as Conservative chancellors delivered expensive tax cuts to the overwhelming benefit of more affluent households, the pain of the spending cuts has been borne by low-income families with children, with child poverty forecast to hit record levels by 2022. From hospitals to schools to policing, public services have been forced to cut back in ways that have hurt people’s lives. Instead of borrowing to invest in the infrastructure that could have kickstarted regional economies, ministers used the financial crisis as an excuse to spend less.

Now I read his book "All Out War" about the referendum campaign and it was on the whole a pretty balanced analysis of the whole affair, particularly good on the chaotic Tory leadership campaign that followed (and btw if you read it you'll realise that Boris will never,never ,ever be leader of the Conservative party). However he also wrote the supposedly well sourced piece a few weeks ago where he confidently predicted from good sources that Ireland would be "f*cked" in the final WA. So maybe he is now flying a kite for cabal within the cabinet.

Schools are sending letters to parents to ask for money to help pay for supplies. This is after these parents pay their taxes for these very same supplies for schools. It is really rather depressing to see what is happening in the UK right now.

For example I've seen it suggested in some places that Leavers could boycott it. It's no wonder Leavers fear a second referendum, I read that since June 2016, about 1.4m people in the UK have turned 18. Leave won the referendum by 1.2m votes. It's actually a disgrace that 16 and 17 year olds weren't allowed to vote anyway given the long term ramifications of this decision. Why should an 80 year old (who of course has every right to a say themselves) have more power than someone who will actually have to deal with the consequences of this madness in the years to come?

In general a lot of people have overestimated the UK's hand in negotiations and I believe many countries bar Ireland will be happy that the UK leaves the EU as they were the biggest opponents to tax and financial reform and trade expansion.
