Lest there be any doubt, the Conservatives are responsible for the current Brexit shambles

If I recollect correctly they have been in Government since 2010. Under pressure from UKIP, they called the 2016 Referendum for their own party political reasons. Since 2016 they have been hopelessly divided, unable to compromise and reach out to other parties.

Now, they try to shift the blame to others, whose views differ, and cynically try to make this a Brexit General Election and mask their responsibilities, nine years of their austerity and the poverty of their vision for the future.

There are many issues that need urgent attention from crumbling public services, to the environment, inequality, poverty and misery

These matters and their positive resolution should determine the election rather than the Conservatives’ divisive politics which will only make the current situation worse.
