And how many times have we heard that here?

How many times have we heard Irish politicians, oh well, Brussels is coming over and they're forcing us.

Even last week when we were talking about the EU migration pact, oh this is an assault on the Irish people, we should be having a referendum.

Hold on, we had a parliament, we had a Dáil elected in the last term who said they'd enact this.

We passed the legislation and this is coming in.

So constantly saying that shadowy force is over and Brussels are forcing to it.

The last two secretaries general have come from Dublin and Wexford.

you know, constantly hammering the EU.

It's easy politics, but it's lazy politics.

It depends on the result.

Wes Streeting, who would like to be the next Prime Minister, would like to be the next Labour leader, has said they should have a campaign to rejoin or at least rejoin the Customs Union.

Look, I'm no fool.

I fully expect Andy Burnham to be the next Prime Minister after this.

And I quite welcome that.

I met him the day you met him and not so long ago.

Good guy, good, strong Irish roots, has been a good mayor objectively.

But he hasn't.

He certainly hasn't said that they'll rejoin the EU.

If anything, he says, no, I'm going to make Brexit work.

And I feel sorry for Keir Starmer for loads of reasons.
