My ultimate goal is for us to rejoin [the EU] and I think it will happen in my lifetime.

I want us to be part of a customs union. I’m an advocate for us being part of a single market. I think we can negotiate more now, because of how geopolitics has changed, than we could in 2016 or 2019. Europe needs us, and we need Europe.

Sir Sadiq Khan, Mayor of London

With a growing number of politicians calling for closer ties with our European neighbours, yesterday the Mayor of London, Sir Sadiq Khan, joined them. It is clear - there is widespread public support for repairing our relationship with Europe, and the Government must listen.

I bought this pin in 2016.

At the time, it was about hope for the UK.

It feels so much bigger than that now... in a world of #Russia, #China and the #TrumpRegime... it almost feels like hope for democracy.

He's right- we need to #GetBrexitUndone asap!

Time for a #Brexit reckoning

In order to finally move one, Britain must face the abysmal failure this project has been.

The economic cost of Brexit has just been laid bare – and it’s devastating A decade on, the economic cost of Brexit has just been laid bare – and it’s devastating. Here's what the figures say.

"The economic cost of Brexit is no longer theoretical. It’s measurable, compounding – and devastating. Britain’s fastest-growing, most productive businesses before Brexit became the most damaged afterwards. Brexit punished the very companies that powered growth."

🚨 The clearest, most devastating summary of Brexit’s damage which answers every remaining excuse.

Brexit caused a slow economic bleed:
β€’GDP is 6–8% smaller than it would have been by 2025: worse than forecast.
β€’Investment is down 18% compared to similar economies.
β€’Employment and productivity are 4% lower.
β€’The damage accumulated year after year, driven by uncertainty, friction and lost integration.

Nearly 1 in 10 CFOs spent 6+ hours a week dealing with Brexit fallout for years. Huge amount of time/money preparing for economic sabotage.

πŸ‘€The killer finding πŸ‘‰firms most exposed to the EU:
😩 Were the fastest growing before Brexit
πŸ˜₯ Became the most damaged after Brexit

Brexit punished Britain’s most productive, outward-facing businesses, the exact engines of growth.

Brexit is a rare modern case study of a rich country which proves deliberately raising barriers and the result is:
β€’Lower growth
β€’Lower productivity
β€’Lower wages
β€’Permanent relative decline

⚠️ A BIG warning for any country flirting with economic nationalism, trade wars, or sovereignty over integration.

#Brexit wasn’t a mistake…it was a scam. With more and more evidence of interference from #Russia, #Epstein and #Bannon.

UK's costs: GDP is 6–8% smaller in 2025
None of the (fake) promises kept. They not only fooled πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ.

#British friends please sign this #RejoinEU #petition to at least get it debated out in the open in #parliament

https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/749128

TBH I don't see a successful rejoin any time soon but at least making the true impact widely known will stop #ReformUK getting away […]

This letter published in The Yorkshire Post on 5 February 2026 is headed: "Britain is largely a rule-taker outside the EU." Peter Packham, Chair of Leeds for Europe, references an earlier column published by The Yorkshire Post about Brexit. Mr Packham argues that even outside the EU that British firms must follow EU rules if the want to trade with Europe. Rejoining the European Union would give the UK greater decision-making power.

UK didn’t β€˜taken back control’ after #Brexit, says Chair @leedsblue67.bsky.social in @yorkshirepost.co.uk letter. That’s #BrexitReality. UK firms must follow #EuropeanUnion rules to trade.

#Farage -style harder #Brexit would make us worse off. Better off with #SingleMarket. Better still #RejoinEU.

How can it be true that Reform is doing well in the polls AND Rejoining the EU is doing well in the polls?

13% of the population say they'll vote for Reform UK.

That leaves 87% of the country who do not support Reform UK.

Hope this helps... #RejoinEU

As a new anniversary of Brexit arrives, here's a reminder of the chillingly methodical moment when the UK flag was removed from the EU Council building in Brussels. Since then, not a single Brexit promise has come true – and the majority of us now want that flag put back again.
