//"Leave voters were too often sneered at and Remain voters were led up the garden path with a position - of overturning the referendum result - that was never seriously achievable.
To put this aside, Leavers and Remainers need an apology."// - Yes, I doubt it'd have made much difference to the outcome but good that SKS acknowledges the error.

Just a tactic to win back some middling voters.
Nothing more.

Looking at the link, your quote comes from the Report and not from Starmer.

do you spend your entire life nit picking TCL?

Yes, the quote is from Lavery and Tricket, not from Keith Starmer.

TTT,//do you spend your entire life nit picking TCL?//
He is not nit-picking.You were giving unmerited credit to Keith Starmer.

Keir, Danny.

It's not an unreasonable nit-pick. Does Starmer accept this report yet? I'm not sure that he has, or that he will. Or even if he should, if it comes to that. No point in fighting the battle any longer, though, and the report is wider-reaching than just Brexit.

[THECORBYLOON]

What credit are you giving Stanmer for, in relation to this article?

[jim360]

Just to add to that, Labour's policy on Brexit in 2019 was muddled and messy, but I'd need to see the report to understand more clearly why the writers think it was muddled before I agree that their conclusions should be accepted in full.

in other words....no credit due yet

[THECORBYLOON]

What is the issue with getting Starmer's name correct? Auto correct changed it to "Stanmer" and just now it changed it to "Starter"...

Another load of hot air. I wouldn't trust any of them - including Keir Starmer.

// good that SKS acknowledges the error. //

Starmer has not acknowledged anything, and he will certainly not Apologise. It was Starmer who pushed for the policy.

Not much of Labours stance at the general election made any sense. It tried to appeal to everyone, and in the end it appealed to no one. That said, I am not sure I need or want a worthless apology. I just hope the Labour Party has learnt a lesson.

The report is just part of the infighting that has blighted the party for the last 10 years.

[Old_Geezer]

Hardly changes the past. A party that fought against a democratically selected decision needs to do a vast amount more. The only thing they can take comfort with is the possibility of regaining lost ground eventually, mainly due to them being the only barely "credible" alternative; most other parties who proved to be anti-democratic can't expect even that while it's in living memory, as they are busted and may as well disband to form something new, in the hope that recall of their past misdeeds doesn't follow them.

[TrevorThePug]

Yes, Trumps Republican leftovers will be doing much the same in years to come.

Sunk: "Not much of Labours stance at the general election made any sense." - when does it ever?
