Demographics tell us that rejoining the EU is inevitable. Now, the question is how much more damage will politicians allow before they come to terms with and reverse the act of self harm and loss of opportunities that Brexit has inflicted.

In today's @yorkshirepost.co.uk 📰: Chair @leedsblue67.bsky.social again has to dismantle Brexiters' "unelected EU" lie. Millions of twenty-somethings were too young to vote in 2016. Let them now? A new vote wouldn't "overthrow" #Brexit. It'd be democracy - in action! #Leeds #UKPolitics #RejoinEU

Letter in today’s @yorkshirepost.co.uk: Chair @leedsblue67.bsky.social says #Brexit hasn’t delivered Michael Caine’s desire for a “poor master, not rich servant” Britain: Instead we’re a #CostOfLiving beset worse off outsider. As ‘quite a lot of people know’, #RejoinEU would help the #UKEconomy!

Reform UK has pledged to send Royal Navy into the Channel to intercept all migrant boats and return them to France or Belgium. Is it possible? NO, but what does reality matter to Farage? To do this, you'd completely ignore all maritime law, sovereignty of others, intl laws & become a pariah state

Can the Royal Navy legally stop the boats?

If you see someone online ignorantly claiming that entry into Ceuta entails entry into mainland Spain/the Schengen area, here's the text proving otherwise. (Plus almost everyone who entered Ceuta returned within a day)

We could have had this 10 years ago and avoided the disaster of Brexit if the media had done its job right. #RejoinEU 🇬🇧🇪🇺

The UK's relationship with the EU has a huge on impact every key area of UK policy, from the economy to defence to social care. As Andy Burnham's governemnt announces its ambitious plans, the UK-EU relationship must not be an afterthought. So what's the plan?

European Movement UK@europeanmovement.co.uk · 6d ago

Ten days in to Andy Burnham's government, and we've seen policies on social care, the cost of living and the Middle East, but what about Europe? Read more here: www.europeanmovement.co.uk/ten_days_no_...

Johnny Reynolds says a customs union isn't the answer. We agree. It'd deliver 0.5-0.7% of long run GDP growth - but for a £14-19bn economic boost, we'd be ceding control of at least part of our trade & tariff policy, with little say on how such decisions get taken. EU membership IS the answer.

Keep believing, Keep fighting, We WILL #RejoinEU

We've had 7 prime ministers in just over 10 years. That's not politics, it's a system in crisis. The period since the Brexit referendum has been one of the most turbulent in modern history. Andy Burnham now has to fix it. Bold policy, radical change, and no more half measures. Source: Ipsos

Some love him, some hate him, but one thing is indisputable, #JeremyClarkson has been steadfast in his support for staying in the #EuropeanUnion - and many will sympathise with what he has said. Excellent that he is keeping the debate going. #Brexit is NOT settled. #RejoinEU

The door to #RejoinEU has been left open. Let's go through it! www.thelondoneconomic.com/politics/wil...

Very good piece this by @martinsandbu.ft.com - the logic of geography is arguably even stronger in a global inter-connected world. As all UK PMs discover.

David Phinnemore@dphinnemore.bsky.social · last wk.

The examples of Gibraltar and Northern Ireland indeed show the centrality of regulatory alignment for a softer Brexit but equally they are exceptional arrangements to address very particular circumstances and so for the EU set no precedents, especially for UK as a whole. www.ft.com/content/4f88...
