Did you know that every publisher was biased towards Remain? Yes, every single one...

At least, that's the excuse Mark Francois gave for having to self-publish his Brexit memoir after shopping it around and finding no takers.

No, really. Listen below...
Rather not listen to his dulcet tones? Here's an article summarising the whole sob story. (Of his failed publishing quest. No idea if there are tears in the book itself. Though there could easily be rips, if one applied oneself... Isn't English fun?)

He has an "interesting" style of writing (based on the small sample you can see by clicking "Look Inside" on Amazon) since he seems to be one of those people who believes some Words should randomly be Capitalised for no very obvious Reason. Ho hum, each to their own.
The grocer's apostrophe also makes an early appearance.

Perhaps every editor is a closet Remainer too? It would make sense that they were in league with the publishers in a super-cabal erecting walls against the publication of this master work.
Juicy factoid: his mother came to London from Italy as an Au Pair [his capitalisation].

That's right, the very profession that Brexit has effectively abolished.

Talk about pulling up drawbridges. That's like going around & erasing the concept of drawbridges from history itself.
BTW, if you're itching to buy a book on Brexit, can I gently recommend mine.

Though it came out in October 2019, much is still relevant since the myths it busts haven't changed.

It's much cheaper than his, and should certainly be more factually correct.

It's Black Friday, so it seems like the perfect excuse to repost my thread about getting cashback on your shopping. Last time, quite a few people found it useful.

In the last few years, I've accumulated a decent chunk of change from shopping as normal, as you can see below...
Earning cashback is very straightforward:

1) Join the cashback site

2) Shop at any of the thousands of online merchants it supports

3) Earn money on each purchase, either as a % of spend, or as a flat fee bonus

4) Withdraw the cash to your bank account, or take it as vouchers
Loads of well-known firms are taking part: Argos, Amazon, Etsy, Currys, eBay, Holland & Barrett, Boohoo, John Lewis, EE, Disney, Boden, B&Q, Asos, Joules, Lakeland, Virgin Media, O2, Vodafone, Money Supermarket, AO, Zavvi, Game etc.

Labour can't be more "Leave" than the Tories. The latter delivered Brexit - it's rubbish, but it happened - continue to battle the EU every day in the tabloids, and are talking about shipping migrants off to the Falklands.

So they have to win by grouping together OTHER voters.
They won't do that if their big offering is Get the Tories Out. GTTO will never assemble enough votes.

But a stated intent to draw close to the EU through negotiations to rejoin the SM & CU would make huge numbers sit up and take notice. It would unsplit the vote in many seats.
The counter-argument seems to be "If Keir Starmer says anything else, he'll lose Leavers".

But they're already lost. They were lost in 2019, and the Tories have been doing the kind of stuff that gets their blood racing ever since.

Not mentioning Brexit won't win them back!

For the first time, I've had to block a bunch of Remainers.

So depressing.

But it doesn't matter who you are. I'm not going to have you calling me an idiot.
Keir Starmer *could* say: "The UK needs a much closer relationship with the EU to make Brexit work. We're not going to seek to rejoin, but we will work hard to get businesses trading again and to banish Brexit red tape for firms and individuals".

Instead, he's tinkering.
Meanwhile, the mood of the country has so comprehensively shifted when faced with Brexit reality, even the Express (!) were recently forced to admit there's now a majority for Rejoin in the UK...

Keir Starmer writes...

"We have a [PM] who thinks it was enough to ‘get Brexit done’ and cares little about how to make Brexit work. Let me be clear: Labour does not want a rematch. Brexit has happened and we are not going to rejoin. But, clearly, the [deal] is full of holes."
Worth reading in full. Labour has nothing for you if you want to reverse Brexit. KS is trying to focus on other things at lightspeed.

Of course, Brexit can't be overturned overnight.

But there's much to be gained from signalling the intent to form a closer relationship with the EU, especially since there's now a majority in the UK for rejoining. (Even the Express admits it!)

Keir Starmer: "Let me be clear: Labour does not want a rematch. Brexit has happened and we are not going to rejoin. But, clearly, the government’s deal is full of holes."

Bye bye Remainers. This is Labour, bidding you adieu.
cityam.com/exclusive-star…
Even the most die-hard Labour apologist can't spin his words into a scenario where Labour first wins a GE, and then pivots towards rejoining.

Keir Starmer's been far too clear for that. And that clarity ensures Labour won't win. So anything after that is defacto irrelevant.
The counter-argument seems to be "If Keir Starmer says anything else, he'll lose Leavers".

But why in the world will Remainers sit on their hands and vote for Labour even more than in 2019, when it has a weaker position on Brexit than then?

"Made in the UK, Sold to the World: New strategy to boost exports to £1 trillion"

Extraordinary fantasist press release from the Tories.

Like a chef claiming that he'll win 3 Michelin stars, while ignoring the fact he just ripped his own taste buds out.
gov.uk/government/new…
Of course, everyone knows that the best way to turbocharge exports is to make trade harder with the trading bloc a stone's throw away with which you do around half of all your trade.

There's nothing like a challenge to get exporters match-fit, and Brexit offers that on steroids.
BTW, there's also a glossy 66-page scribble attached to this fantasy plan.

Full of nuggets like talking about Peppa Pig as the perfect example of a British export, ignoring the fact it was sold off to the US conglomerate Hasbro a couple of years ago.
