#Brexit adds red tape, delays, and costs to our food imports from the EU.

We need to talk about it.

Trump’s “peace” efforts have resulted in Putin doubling Russia’s attacks on Ukraine.

How does he explain that?

These figures are the proportion of the whole electorate, including don't-knows/don't-care/don't-vote.

So, if you compare like with like:

2016: 37% of the electorate voted to leave, 34% to remain

2025: 34% (down 3%) want to stay out, 52% (up 18%) rejoin

=> Voters: 64.2% Rejoin, 35.8% stay out.

Farage spread misinformation during the Brexit referendum and continues to do so now.

We need to keep calling him out. 📣

Nigel Farage posts a video from 2015 in Greece and claims it is the UK today. What more proof is needed that this lying, grifting sack of shit will do anything to incite hatred and division?

That lead climbs and climbs, slowly but relentlessly…

You should do some basic research before making such comments

Labour is making Britain a more European country On tax, spending and workers’ rights, Keir Starmer has accelerated a post-Brexit trend.

Despite Brexit, Britain is actually becoming a more European country

Brexit has been a resounding disaster. Starmer must find the courage to change course | Ed Davey Poll after poll shows most voters think leaving the EU has been a failure. Closer ties with Europe would bring huge rewards, says Liberal Democrat leader Ed Davey

Keir Starmer should take note of this, as:
- on this, Ed Davey is right
- being too cautious on rebuilding our links to the EU, risks Labour haemorrhaging votes to the LibDems, Greens & SNP, ultimately helping the Tories/Reform

The EU-US trade deal is here - it's probably not the end of uncertainty as the details are ironed out, but it's a momentous deal. In sum, it's a political defeat for the EU, but in economic terms I see it as, under the circumstances, a win of sorts. 🧵
