Rachel Reeves is all about growth. So why won’t she admit that Brexit is its worst enemy?

General Discussion for politics in the UK.
Please don't post to both !uk_politics@feddit.uk and !unitedkingdom@feddit.uk .
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.
Posts should be related to UK-centric politics, and should be either a link to a reputable news source for news, or a text post on this community.
Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.
If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread. (These things should be publicly discussed)
Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.
Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.
!ukpolitics@lemm.ee appears to have vanished! We can still see cached content from this link, but goodbye I guess! :'(

It's because they're all shit at politics. Any leader with an ounce of charisma and courage would at least be able to get us back into the single market. They all argued vociferously against it when the vote was happening. Then after a 52-48 vote 9 years ago they still can't muster up the courage to change something.
It's like the self-imposed fiscal rules: they could get rid of them overnight, but they'd need to make the case for it, and have a plan for how to use that new freedom. But they'd rather throw up their hands and complain about all the obstacles in their way.
