Thread. 1/ Remain is winning the Brexit argument: the UK will be worse off under Brexit no matter what form it takes, but especially under no deal.
So why is it making no difference?
Because it's the wrong argument to have.
Brexit is not, and never has been, about economics.
2/ At its heart, Brexit is about national soul. It's about the identity of the (largely English) British people.
Brexiteers believe that being part of the EU undermines being British so they fear it and want to fight it.
Hence the WWII metaphors etc.
