@anandmenon.bsky.social ¦ @quietriotpod.bsky.social @sturdyalex.bsky.social ¦ @dphinnemore.bsky.social @vivamjm.bsky.social ¦ @mikegalsworthy.bsky.social Quick reminder that the EU already agreed to a softer brexit in 2018👇

Quick 🧵on yesterdays FT Piece by @martinsandbu.ft.com (link in ALT) TL;DR: The EU27 already (reluctantly) agreed to a softer brexit deal with the UK in 2019. That was not a trivial thing for EU27 to agree to - it meant it was possible to leave the EU but still access parts of the SM. 1/7

Gibraltar should show Burnham a softer Brexit is the only option The recent deal again illustrates that closer alignment with the EU offers the best of both worlds Please use the sharing tools found via the share button at the top or side of articles.

So give some of your attention to a place that seems to have escaped Andy Burnham’s: Gibraltar. Two weeks ago, while Burnham was taking the final steps towards No 10, the UK and the EU signed an agreement on how to handle Gibraltar’s relationship with mainland Spain, quietly settling a large piece of unfinished business left over from Brexit. Its terms illustrate the dilemma any British prime minister confronts over EU relations — including Burnham, once he finally turns his mind to it.

No single market, no freedom of movement, no customs union... No fucking point... Let's hope the UK, through its umpteenth PM since Brexit, at long last, ends the denials & drops the ruinious Nick Timothy (T. May) red lines... www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

Or... Rather than endure this life behind your (still descending) Gammon Curtain... UK could do the same as Gibraltar & embrace mutual freedoms & prosperity 🤔 "How to navigate the long entry-exit system queues if you have a disability | The Independent" share.google/Eh3qhKQ88eVD...
