@TheConstantGardener It does seem an awful long time for so little to have been agreed. Unfortunately i think Corbyn played right into Tory hands doing things the way he has.
Tories have a love/hate relationship with Europe. Have had since WW2. But many poorer folk in the UK live in areas that benefit from EU grants. And while the idiots at the top play party-politics, people at the bottom are already being squeezed too much.
