Nonsense! Despite having a Labour MP, Rotherham voted to Leave in the Referendum. Living, as I do now in Yorkshire and as a member of the Yorkshire Party in a Conservative constituency, I am finding the general sentiment to have shifted back to the Conservatives in support of Boris, despite his weaknesses. The Brexit party is also gaining significant support in Labour held constituencies. Everyone knows that leaving with No Deal is an economic risk, but so is the continual uncertainty and yet more extensions to Article 50. Uncertainty has led to business investment and consumer spending drying up. Continued uncertainty is likely to tip us into recession with a devastating impact on jobs and people’s standard of living; the very things Remainers claim to be preventing by their Bercow aided parliamentary and legal shenanigans. This is now at least as big a risk as leaving without a deal and people in these parts know it. The longer Labour delays us leaving the EU, the more likely that northern Labour MPs will lose their seats in a general election and that we then end up with yet another post-general election coalition government that is unlikely to be a Scot Nat/Lib/Lab pact. What I find most distressing (apart from BBC bias) is that there has been little to no debate about the details of the EU's deal. It does not give us our territorial waters back, leaves us at the mercy of the ECJ, ties us into a Brussels run military, prevents us from negotiating free trade deals and attempts to divide Northern Ireland from the UK. It appears that as far as the EU are concerned, these are intractable issues that they are unwilling to change. Boris is therefore right to have accelerated No Deal preparations while talks are progressing in Brussels despite what main stream media say.
