The 'don't reignite Brexit' thing is madness. The UK is suffering badly from Brexit. UK citizens have been stripped of rights without a voice or a vote.
Silence on Brexit prolongs the damage, which is exactly what the far right want.

I'm not voting Reform, are you?
The people I know who voted for Brexit aren't interested in Reform, Labour or the Tories. Most want back in the EU. More than a few like the Greens. One might vote Reform, but not if Farage is tied with Epstein and Trump.
None like Starmer.
Me? I'll vote Lib Dem.

But those who know him well say that anger has now turned inwards. That Starmer is, above all else, a man of public service, and will be grappling with his conscious this w/e.
