A new report shows that EU membership is the best way to grow the UK economy - and a majority of voters would now vote to rejoin the EU. We asked people why they want to rejoin. Here's what they said.

We have bikes and scooters with engines so we don't have to pedal and scoot, Copilot so we don't have to read and write, ChatGPT so we don't have to plan. In a few years, we can reflect on this when we're sat on our fat, brain-dead asses wondering what to do with the time saved

Your regular reminder that not a single new reservoir has been built in England since privatisation. Water companies have increased our bills above the rate of inflation and made 10s of billions in profit.

Nearly every problem faced by the incoming UK Prime Minister will require a large sum of money to resolve it. Two immediate solutions that would generate money: 1 Rejoin EU 2 Wealth tax If they are not proposed then the UK will continue to decline.

I am sick of scumbags spouting lies to us like brexit will work, genocide & global warming aren’t happening, that immigrants aren’t needed, that ultra wealth can’t be taxed, that politicians need bribes, that water can’t be nationalised. I want honesty and we should demand it, if that’s ok?

Last week I asked Robert Jenrick about what people with EU settled status should do and he replied: “If you are in this country and you are not a British citizen, and you are somebody who will not be able to stay in the UK under a Reform government, then you should think of leaving the country.”

🇪🇺♥️ "Two-thirds of EU citizens would back Britain rejoining the bloc, while most UK voters say Brexit has been bad for the issues they care about and want closer ties, including levels of integration – such as free movement – long seen as toxic, a survey has found."

Two-thirds of EU citizens back UK rejoining bloc, survey finds

Poll also finds three quarters of people in Britain want closer ties, with majority accepting free movement

This is the product of Farage’s (almost) life work, for which he claims he was paid £5m by a foreign based Crypto dealer - Brexit cost our economy an absolute fortune. £180 Billion. That’s almost the entire annual budget of our NHS. This is the man that would be PM…..! bbc.in/4ekYBRc

Farage has gone into hiding so as to avoid scrutiny and difficult questions about the £5m bung, the racism and misogyny of his Makerfield candidate, and the unhinged mayhem in every Reform-led council…. Yusuf has been deployed to use the scattergun approach of announcing mental policy ideas…. 🤪🤡😂🤦🏻‍♂️

In February, Trump purchased over $1 million in Dell stock. Just weeks ago, Trump told everyone to “go out and buy a Dell.” Its stock price is up over 60% since then. Now, Dell has been awarded a $9.7 BILLION Pentagon contract. See the problem here?

The abhorrent racism aside, Burnham is right that there is something quite desperate about Reform's recent activity. See also Zia 'white people are the biggest victims of racism' Yusuf's recent posts

Tory Laura will be pretending that Sturgeons husbands corruption is someone greater than Farage taking a £5 million 'gift' and not declaring it. Then lying about it. But then the majority of the bent media looked away at how Vote Leave was actually funded. Or attacked those who didn't.
