Cathy Newman, "Prime Minister Keir Starmer says he wants to put Britain at the heart of Europe but he can't bring himself to rip up his red lines and say we should Rejoin the EU" David Baddiel, "I voted for Remain, but I couldn't bear that there would be another referendum" Cathy Newman, "Do it without a referendum?" David Baddiel, "That's not going to happen, there would be some kind of weird civil war" "Any answer that I give you now I'm thinking, how will it be clipped, how will it play on social media. It will be taken out of context, it will be used by trolls" "That's what Keir Starmer is also thinking when he's giving a speech on rejoining or not rejoining the EU" "People are too self conscious now about how it will play to whatever they think their audience is, and that leaves no authenticity" Solid observation @Baddiel In his speech yesterday, Keir Starmer finally called out Farage over Brexit, but he should have done that from day one, and used that to bring communities together, instead, he ignored it, did little to address misinformation online or even in the papers and on TV We have a problem with information mismanagement, even by our politicians, and until this is addressed, this cycle of half truths will continue
