I THINK it may be a good idea if the Brexiteers would stop squealing and preening themselves, telling us how they have saved our country from the terrible clutches of the EU.

There is an even bigger danger and madness to come that was never even mentioned in the referendum ballot. It’s called the great repeal bill where all our present laws, working rights and freedoms are scrapped and exchanged for what appears to be Tory laws as there is very little or no time time for parliamentary discussion and debate or votes on how to replace them now ahead of Brexit article 50 being invoked in a few days’ time.

It seems clear the PM will walk away from any deal with the EU and head for a hard Brexit to satisfy the right-wing of her party that props up her position as PM.

With the total abandonment of an effective government opposition by the Labour Party and a real possibility of a break up of the union, including Northern Ireland, at some time in the future, not only is our country in danger but our parliamentary democracy is as well.
