      I’ve a confession to make. Post-referendum I didn’t care that much if we left the EU - it’s nowhere near perfect. Now I realise the damage it will cause. Some will be short-term, hitting the poorest hardest, some, in terms of global status, we will never completely recover from.

      Unbelievable that a person of your background and education would not be aware of the implications prior to the referendum. You somewhat sum up the absurdity of it all - ignorance, complacency, realisation, panic and resignation.

      Unbelievable that people like you appear unable to read. It’s says “post-referendum”. Before the referendum I campaigned to Remain. I voted Remain. But both sides mounted such a dreadful campaign I reluctantly accepted the result. There is too much heat & not enough light.

          I'm not sure what you are talking about, but the Academic discussion on potential impact of leaving EU in various ways was out there & not administered by Remain campaign. Problems on e.g. WTO, GFA, implications on Finance & Banking or supply chains. It shouldn't be new for you.

          Doesn't change the fact that it was known and researched, it was out there. So the point is rather that you as a person didn't know. Why did you campaign on something before engaging with it?

          We still don’t know what the consequences are going to be. It’s an emerging picture.

          We stand by our statement. You are searching for some kind of political absolution but unfortunately, it was and is still your job to informed of the outcomes of a national decision and to not be so flippant with statements like "I didn't care that much". You had a duty to care.

          I’m being honest. There are important issues other than Brexit. I am a Home Affairs spokesperson, not a Brexit spokesperson. There are matters for which I am responsible and they do not include the entirety of Brexit. Taking entrenched positions encourages no one.

          Whilst fair to the point of your home affairs role, and that there are other issues, few are so extensive. As a constituency representative don’t you need to care about issues that affect every one of them?

          Thanks for clarifying. There is a lot if anger on the remain side as we are being ignored. I could never put up with a result achieved by lies, funded by dark money & greedy billionaires, incl Putin. We have all been had by fascist coup attempt. Our guard was down. #StopBrexit

          Shall we concentrate on fighting the real culprits of the campaign rather than people who are on our side? Many of my Remainer friends thought after the Referendum that we should accept results despite losses. The ugly truth about leave was not yet public. #StopBrexit together

          Thank you for speaking up! 🙂 We need to look forwards and concentrate on stopping this Brexit madness. Everything else is a side show. The welfare of so many people relies on NOT trashing the UK with Brexit so stopping it is paramount! 👍

          Thank you for speaking out as I think quite a few people felt as you did. “There’s been a vote. Let’s see if they deliver. I’m bored with it etc. No point giving People a hard time for feeling battle weary. Stretching our my hand for a handshake.

          I have learnt much more about the EU, what it provides & the economic damage leaving will cause. Even a Norway model is about 5% GDP to 2030

          It wasn't clear but as a LibDem I assumed you voted to Remain. However your comment does sum up the position of many Brexit voters and I distinguish between Brexit Voters and Brexiteers. We need another Referendum.
