This not only proves that Brexit voters voted for COMPLETELY INCOMPATIBLE OUTCOMES, but it shows that a #NoDealBrexit was not the one that even most LEAVE voters intended!
Can we PLEASE be mature!?⬇️
The narrative of "we'll hold all the cards in the negotiations" was proven wrong and now you're pretending you voted for the thing you said would never happen. (No-Deal = tariffs & damage to EU-UK trade)
Imagine if they asked remainers which treaties they voted for:
Norway Deal - 0%
No Deal - 0%
EU Treaties - 100%
Canada Deal - 0%
So again, I ask, why have we added together the votes of Leavers who wanted completely incompatible outcomes?
Before the predictable "What about an EU superstate or an EU army" comments...
Watch Nigel Farage admitting to me that that's project fear. We can say no. And the European Union Act of 2011 required the government to put such changes to a UK referendum.

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.
