He’s made a hard Brexit much more likely. Remainers have to work together, says Guardian columnist Polly Toynbee

Nigel Farage has set his stamp on this election: his astute action, standing down 317 Brexit party candidates , confirms the brutal binary choice between the newly merged Tory-Brexit friends-of-Trump party and a flaky progressive remain alliance. The old Conservative party is no more, morphing into the Brexit party, its moderates having fled.

‘Progressives’ have sadly become an axis of soft tories

Not it isn't. Brexit is only one issue. There will be seats where Labour will have candidates but not put many resources into campaigning. Tacit support for tactical voting is almost always the way it has worked in British politics, it doesn't need to be an actual pact.

Polly, you & your Graun chums have been smearing & undermining Corbyn for 4 years. There was a chance to stop this but Swinson showed her Tory tendency & refused to countenance Corbyn in no. 10 for a matter of weeks. & now you hypocritically call for a progressive alliance!!!

The country is being made a laughing stock due to this load. Do you think they really care?

Nah too late we’re fucked. The fascists are in and it’s about to get real messy. As for the progressives, I give up. Lame and pathetic.

Swinson won't work with Corbyn. Lib Dems aren't 'progressives'.
