Fine words on LGBT equality from the government cost nothing – only real economic action will make a difference, says the Guardian columnist Owen Jones

Love how Owen casually dismisses ‘London and Scotland’ and suggests something that will enrage Brexiters as his solution. It is delusional to think that a soft Brexit is going to heal the divide. Labour should focus on GeneralElection rather than resolving Brexit which is now beyond solving! PeoplesVote
