This will be short, not particularly sweet, but hopefully the point will be clear.
Based on various reports across the news this morning, it would appear that Jeremy Corbyn will be requiring Labour MPs to support the triggering of Article 50.
Once again, and with increasing exasperation and disappointment, I ask why?
This was not a binding decision within the form of democratic system we have operated in this country for nearly 100 years. This was a decision, based in no small part on gross inaccuracies and downright lies, taken by 37% of the eligible electorate.
That is not democracy. It may be expediency, it is certainly stupidity, but it is not democracy.
And being unwilling to say so, to stand up and oppose the departure of the UK from an arrangement that even, Jeremy, you were 70% in favour of, is political cowardice.
If you, as you have always maintained, arte in parliament to represent the people, then stand up for the majority that didn’t vote Out, and say no.
