Defeating politicians' lies

Remain voters are left with no choice but to ignore Labour next week

hall we take a nostalgic trip back to the distant past of two weeks ago?

You’ll remember there were local elections in England, in which the pro-Brexit parties took a pasting, while the anti-Brexit parties surged.

You might also recall how the main parties interpreted those results: they hailed them as a heartfelt plea from the voters to get on with Brexit.

Here, then, is a warning to remain-minded voters ahead of Thursday’s European elections.

If you want to send a message about Brexit, you’ll need to send it as clearly and as unambiguously as possible.

Up against a spin machine capable of hearing a repudiation as an endorsement, voters will need to be louder and clearer this time, closing down the scope for wilful misinterpretation.
