IT is vital we now cash in on Brexit’s potential and prevent any future Government sneakily reversing it.
Not that that is likely if you believe Keir Starmer.
Sniffing election victory, he has transitioned from People’s Vote champion to born-again Brexiteer.
But many of his MPs and supporters cannot hide their rabid europhilia.
In power they will lobby him first to dilute Brexit, then to negate it.
Just look at their opportunism — and that of media Remoaners — in falsely blaming our woes on Brexit instead of Covid and war.
These idiots blame Brexit if they trip over in the street.
The Tories must do two things to help put our historic 2016 vote beyond reach.
First, end any delay over passing the EU Law Bill.
It will allow a mass of costly and pointless Brussels red tape imposed when we were members, to expire automatically.
You can read examples opposite.
The second is to waste no time before joining the CPTPP, a vast free trading block including Canada, Australia, Japan, Mexico and others.
It will cut prices, bring huge trade benefits and unlike the EU does not require political alignment, limitless immigration or subservience to its courts.
Trade Minister Greg Hands suspects Labour, whatever it says now, would abandon independent trade and sign us back up to an EU customs union.
CPTPP membership would make that far harder. Our negotiations are, thankfully, well advanced.
The Government must secure both goals while it still can.
A COUNTRY hit by an energy crisis should generate new supplies wherever it can.
But not only has Rishi Sunak’s Government reimposed the crazy ban on fracking, it opposes onshore windfarms too.
Why? Because, as with its failure to shred our archaic, prohibitive planning laws, it is terrified of upsetting NIMBYs who might then vote Lib-Dem.
Onshore wind is clean, easy to build and comparatively cheap. It could be a useful part of our mix. We just cannot have too much energy . . . any excess can be sold abroad.
No wonder Boris Johnson and Liz Truss now support Tory rebels beseeching Rishi to change course.
The Government’s timid capitulation to constituents’ more selfish instincts is the root cause of so many of our problems.
IT’S England . . . we were never going to make life easy for ourselves, were we?
But tonight’s forgettable draw could have been worse. We should still qualify now, even with a defeat to Wales.
As for Gareth Bale’s lads, commiserations on yesterday. But they’re not out of it.
Tuesday night will be nerve-shredding.
