    I wish to God it worked like that. But as I'm sure you know if he comes out for rejoining the single market then he will be met with the Tories and their media machine proclaiming "He wants us to be rule takers without having a say in those rules being made!" (Which arises only out of the idiocy of our vote for brexit.) It will be a short hop from there to peddling the myth that he will seek to rejoin the EU. Then we'll be back into the whole "will of the people" shemozzle. Result: Labour seize defeat from the jaws of victory again. As the man himself says, without power you can do nothing. This is why I'd never want to go into politics. "The art of the possible" is the truest of cliches, so far as I can see.

    It's very revealing that some people consider personal achievement and a social conscience to be mutually exclusive. It says far more about them than the people they are labelling.

    They invested millions in South Yorkshire in the 80’s. Mainly in police overtime during the strike

    He needs to have a grown up conversation with the electorate and say their are 2 options. Privatisation of the NHS to be replaced with a fully privatised system. No money for public services (both pay and investment). No money to undo the damage of what will be 14 years of tory misrule or we do this.

    If people genuinely want a broken country then that’s fine but he needs to spell out clearly what the consequences are.

    He can continue chasing the votes of racist gammons at the expense of all else but let’s not pretend that there is any desire to change society to address fundamental issue it is just the pursuit of power for its own sake.

    Maybe he can ask Corbyn where he left the big stop Brexit button he refused to press
