Its almost as if this is a very deliberate ploy by the labour government to bring the UK to its knees, in order for it necessary to have to go back to the IMF for a bail out , and one of the preconditions of the bail out the IMF will request we re-join the EU.
There can be no other reason, other than complete stupidity , which given the state of the talent available in the labour party we obviously can't rule out either.
