Senator Bacik also spoke about Brexit. This is a very important two weeks and I hope common sense will prevail. If an extension is needed, I hope it will be given to the UK Government but I also welcome the 11th-hour conversion of the leader of the Labour Party, Jeremy Corbyn, to the need for a second referendum. It has come a bit late in the game and he has showed a lack of leadership around Brexit, though I do not want to stray into British politics.
