peter mandelson over the years has been absolutely evangelical about the eu.piszczek as planned. i think his point of view is that it will be much better to have what he calls the people spoke, a second referendum, which a lot of people think is anti—democratic, and i think is anti—democratic, and i think would probably involve a change of government to get that mandate. however, he is so worried that these terms would hamstring the government's ability to trade that he actually says it would be better off having a no deal. we get more favourable terms with other countries if we crashed out of the eu altogether rather than going for this compromise. i think it gets to the heart of the problem, theresa may is trying very hard to sell this is the best of both faults. and mandelson, speaking for art remainers, as it were, says it is actually the worst of both wells, and it would be better to do something that he had argued so strongly against, rather than do this, is. it shows the complexity of the that she and the government face. chuka umunna, a fellow labour p
