I can't see the relevance of windrush to the rights of EU citizens in each others member states. This is precisely the sort of increased vulnerability EU passport holders fear from Brexit, becoming another tier of increasingly vulnerable migrant workers. Just because the EU didn't prevent previous cycles of restructuring and job losses, which British policy has driven to such an extent that its hard to hold the European neoliberal project all that responsible for those that have occurred in this country, it doesn't mean that Brexit won't usher in another cycle of creative destruction.
We don't disagree that much. Varoufakis's And the Poor Suffer what they Must provides a clear analysis of why the EU is beyond reform before concluding that we should reform the EU, which wasn't all that persuasive to me. Rather than the referendum being the cause of the current situation, it was much more a symptom of more fundamental issues that remain politics struggles to confront, but it's unclear what a retreat into national politics will achieve either. Most of the energy behind remain comes from the liberal centre of politics in any case. Issues on the left have as much with the inability of Brexit supporters to narrate whats going on positively to those who have been left reeling by event than it does with people being distracted by hopes of a return to normality.
