The Tories only lie about it. Labour doesn’t talk about it. But it’s thanks to the SNP that the truth about Brexit is laid bare.
Mhairi Black MP, SNP’s Deputy Leader at Westminster, yesterday urged the Deputy Prime Minister, Oliver Dowden, to follow in the footsteps of Nigel Farage and admit “Brexit has failed.”
Of course, Mr Dowden wouldn’t. He couldn’t. The truth about Brexit is beyond him and his party.
The UK has “one of the fastest growth rates in the whole of the G7 since Brexit,” he responded.
(Of course, the Deputy Prime Minister couldn’t admit to a Brexit truth: The IMF calculates that Britain is to remain the world’s worst-performing large economy in 2023. We’re on track to contract more than Russia.)
The SNP, declared Mr Dowden, should “get behind” the Brexit trade deals the UK “is signing with many countries around the world.”
He didn’t like to mention a Brexit truth: Most trade deals signed so far have been carbon copies of the trade deals we already had through the EU. So much for the Brexit claim that those deals were no good.
Other Brexit trade deals only offer the UK miniscule increases in our GDP, whilst the loss of EU membership is calculated by the Office for Budget Responsibility to shrink the UK economy by a whopping 4% in the years ahead.
Mr Dowden tried to deflect the truth about Brexit by attacking the SNP, who he said had promised to “build a new Scotland.”
“I don’t know if she is aware, but the SNP has been in power for 13 years,” Mr Dowden lectured Ms Black.
Talk about the pot calling the kettle black! The Tories have been in power for 13 years, and it’s been an unmitigated disaster.
As for a new Scotland, so many Scots dream of a future as an independent nation, free of the UK, and back in the EU.
It’s significant that they believe Scotland would have more sovereignty as a member of the European Union than they do tied to the United Kingdom (which is not united at all).
It’s now surely time for the rest of us to take on board that we need a new United Kingdom, free of the Tories, and back in the EU.
