You may think of Momentum what you wish, but this piece is grasping a concept that is too often ignored – and it is elusive.

They ignore the damage being done, and the terrible consequences for their nation´s future. We have seen this throughout the Brexit discussion. How many Remainers have said “Remain, but only in an EU that serves all its citizens”? In that case, Remain means nothing less than remain on the neo-liberal path for my benefit and screw everyone else.
