Have you ever signed a contract, and let the other side write the terms of that contract 3 years later?
When they had the referendum on the Good Friday Agreement, every single voter was mailed a copy of the agreement, so they got to see the deal they were signing first.
The Brexiteers who keep saying it would be undemocratic to let people vote on the specifics of our negotiated Brexit, are just lying to you. They fully understand the logic. @Jacob_Rees_Mogg for example...
Can you imagine if, during the years of Brexit renegotiations (2020-24), journalists had grilled the Tories on their manifesto promise to get Brexit done.... as much as they're now grilling Labour on whether they're "taxing working people"?
It shows they CAN do their jobs.
They just chose not to with the Tories.
Look at this.
It's very good journalism by @WilfredFrost, exposing that the Labour manifesto used the technicality of not directly taxing working people, but it still hits them.
"Get Brexit Done" was literally the title of the Tory manifesto and was NEVER challenged like this.
Boris Johnson started renegotiations SIX MONTHS after winning an election on a promise to end the Brexit negotiations.
So there's nothing subjective about the fact that the Tory government was elected on a lie.
Yet NOT ONE news station categorically communicated that fact.
