Lancaster for Europe

Now is the winter of our Brexit sent While we have used this title before, perhaps this is the time to look at our options afresh, now that we have seen the disaster that is Brexit

When the Telegraph admits Brexit is a disaster, the ground is moving. The question is: why isn’t Starmer?

75% of Reform UK’s donations have come from just three rich men Calls grow for donation caps as Democracy for Sale research reveals that three-quarters of Reform’s funding comes from a trio of wealthy donors

🔴 Nigel Farage’s Reform is more reliant on super-rich backers than any major party in modern British political history

75% of *all* Reform donations *ever* have come from just three rich men

Is this what democracy looks like?

With Germany’s president visiting the UK, we asked Germans what they think about Brexit.

👀 "It's just so stupid to cut the branch you're sitting on," one person said.

Here's what else they had to say ⬇️

Labour warned of fresh economic hit as Brexit accelerates high-skilled 'brain drain' from UK. The Independent, 2 December 2025.

Brexit means we are losing out on some of the biggest talent in the world, and some of the UK's biggest talent are emigrating to Europe. We must restore freedom of movement.

UK aims to secure agreement to rejoin Erasmus student exchange scheme Britain quit EU programme after Brexit, when Boris Johnson claimed it did not offer good value for money

Brexit robbed young people of countless opportunities - rejoining Erasmus is the right step to undo some of the damage.

Brexit: the trillion pound ‘mistake’ The recent NBER report suggests the Treasury’s 2016 analysis – slammed by Brexiters as a ‘hoax’– actually understated the impact of Brexit

Johnson described the pre-referendum Brexit Treasury report as “doom-laden” predictions as a “hoax” & “just not credible”

Farage attacked Cameron & Osborne for feeding the public “a constant diet of lies” in their arguments for staying in the EU

The report, was correct

From the NS Morning Call. I have a bridge to sell the Labour folk who think the EU would sign up for this.

Shabana Mahmood’s asylum reforms will not ‘unite a divided country’ Making asylum status temporary and eroding family rights will undermine Britain’s commitments to international law and create further divisions

I love that, while admitting Brexit was a failure, the Telegraph simultaneously warns of a "Labour plot to reverse it". Because "it was never about the economy", you see, but "about sovereignty, immigration and taking back control".

How are those aspects going, Telegraph? ~AA

We Brexiteers must acknowledge the costs of leaving Europe Breaking free from the EU has undoubtedly deepened the UK’s malaise, and it’s no use denying it

The economic damage Brexit has caused is undeniable - even Brexiteers are now admitting it.

Security is built through cooperation, not isolation.

We need a full investigation into Russian interference in our democracy.

We need to see how deep the rot goes, and hold those responsible to account.

UK migration is at a record high – but immigration should be celebrated, not weaponised Experience tells us that there will be those who try and “weaponise” immigration no matter what, says Stand for All's Daniel Sohege.

Regular reminder that behind all the guff about immigration statistics we are talking about actual people's lives.
We are pretty much guaranteed to see today's figures used to defend anti-immigration policies, and ignore the harm they cause. These are people's lives.

Today's migration stats illustrate the migration doom loop in action...

The UK is losing up to £250m a day in lost tax revenue due to the economic impact of Brexit, House of Commons Library analysis for the Lib Dems suggests.

Brexit has blown a "black hole of [up to] £90 billion a year in the public finances" the party says. Even under lower estimates the hit is ~£65bn

🚨🚨 New report!

Brexit has cost our economy 6 to 8% of GDP.

That equates to circa £66billion in lost tax revenue.

“If you are going to speak of the damage, you must be honest about where the responsibility lies. But it is not acceptable to acknowledge the harm without offering solutions to undo as much of it as we can”
