A victory won by Brexit lies does not make those lies true

The Chinese proverb is “be careful what you wish for”. My own adapted version is “be careful what you vote for”. I make no apology for having devoted so many columns to what on Thursday became the lost cause of Remain. The pro-European cause in this country has, alas, suffered from a colossal failure of leadership.

simonbarrow Certainly doesn't

BREXIT HARD! the only way to remove the lies...

GovHowardDean There is a lesson for everyone. Victory does not equal truth!

A defeat in labour heartlands supporting leave is a symptom of an extremely pissed off electorate & dishonest & naive labour politicians

No the only objective is to win Brexit

The UK is still in the same spot on the globe, and will still trade with the same people as before. WHAT will have changed?

It's the height of arrogance to say people are ignorant just because they disagree with you. Look in the mirror!

Michael Foot celebrating today he is no longer the worst labour leader in its history

Perception over 30 years, rightly or wrongly, determined peoples views on the EU. Media only reinforces existing views, too much credence given to the alternative. The past can guide future action but we genuinely don’t know what will happen outside the EU trade bloc. Here we go

Man, the salt is flowing in England remind me of United States in 2016.

It is time for him to deliver. It will not be easy; from brexit to sustained economic development; from rapprochement to trust; from keeping the UK together to sustaining UK's stature around the globe. It will tough-going.

A trade deal with the US, now we’ll see a free movement of people from over there, get ready for all the maniacs coming over 🤦🏼‍♂️

Bitter bitter 🍋🍋🍋

Who is Mr. Boris? so he understands that Brexit is just a bluff? D kingdom couldnt possibly not know D consequences of Brexit Propaganda on D unity. Is D kingdom also stuck w/ D Chinese game? is this D result of D Oxford, Harvard, Cambridge Analysis?D British ppl who know better

Suck it up

Moral philosophy is fine in the lecture theatre and seminar room, but a big win in the real world IS true, like it or not. Now’s the time to crack on and get the best deal possible. If that’s not you, then go and mope in the corner with Jezza, Johnny Boy, Di and the other losers.

This rag never learns. Never.

I am pleased to see you lot are still in denial. In ten years time, you will still be fighting Brexit - like some poor old man in a care home, convinced the war is still going on.

SebDance Brexit is bad, Brexit won, Brexit will happen. 4 or 8 or 12 years from now a sane Labour should be elected and do whatever good for the UK.

I preferred to Remain. The electorate voted overwhelmingly for Brexit. This has to be respected. The Conservative Party made Brexit core to their message. Now we need to get on and get the best deal possible for the UK.

MoveOn folks: How about doing to work on how we can make the UK the best it can be. Stop being so divisive.

Just because you keep calling them lies does not make them lies.

The Quitlings don't give a damn about truth - just selling off rights and institutions to the highest bidder.

Show a little grace in defeat!

You lost. It's over. Please stop whining.

Hello there, media outlet! You had two and a half years to expose the 'lies' and inform the public since the first referendum How did you fail your job so badly?

Go Forth and Multiply.

5yrs of anti-democrats having a meltdown, delicious... 😂😂😂

One story doesn't make up for a decade of lies peterloo forgotten by racist press

How can you believe that leftists obsessed with 'diversity' care about one nation at all? You will literally say anything, any lie or clownish nonsense, in order to make a partisan attack.

Still sulking that communist agenda lost? Good 😂

But it is still a victory. And you still don’t understand voting.

Editor’s letter: How the ‘Brexit’ election compares to Labour’s historic defeat over 30 years agoThe outcome wasn’t terribly different when Corbyn first became an MP in 1983 We ❤️love you Corbyn 💕 Why are you sticking “Brexit” down our throats? I as a live long labour voter couldn’t vote for a party with the policies Corbyn was coming up with Political suicide if you dare to ignore the will of the people. Brexit is right around the corner. No turning back.
