This needs to be shared and repeated; all the boat crossings are a direct result of Brexit. If you talk to anyone who is thinking of voting for Reform, please tell them about this.

History will remember Brexit as a traitorous act of self-harm.

It broke the unity of the West just when we needed it most.

Russia and China didn't need to attack us because we chose to weaken ourselves from within.

It was a dumb move with a deadly cost

We are fast approaching the 10thΒ anniversary anniversary of the Brexit referendum. But what does the public think - was Brexit more of a failure or a success?

"Looking around now. Do we feel like a rich country? I don't really think so."

'BBC policy on Brexit is not impartial' Why is the BBC giving so much time to hardline Brexiteers, asks journalist Raymond Snoddy

After the referendum, the BBC chief Lord Hall ordered the BBC to treat Brexit as a done deal, a decision which all but wholly excluded Remainer opinion from the BBC for around 2 years, thus grossly biasing the Brexit debate. It was a grotesque abuse of democracy.

As far as Nigel Farage is concerned, let us remind ourselves that he said if we left 
the EU it would be Β£350 million a week for the NHS - that didn’t happen.

He said if we left the EU there would be less red tape for trading into Europe - try telling that to any business that is trading into Europe.

He said if we left the EU regular migration would go down - it quadrupled under the Boris wave.

The Brexit campaign was fuelled by misinformation, and new polls have found that the majority of Brits want to reverse it. We must continue to fix our relationship with Europe, and rekindle our ties with the biggest free market in the world.

Opinion: All roads from Brexit stagnation lead to Europe Rejoining the single market and customs union is key to lifting us from the economic doldrums

"Make Brexit Work" (Aka "Reset", "Moving Closer")...

Is fiddling around the edges at best. Normalising Brexit, making rejoin harder at worst.

Pre-Brexit in the top third for quality of life in Europe, we now languish in the bottom third.

Rejoining the EU is the only way to stop Trump It is time to return home

Petition: Apply to Rejoin the EU as soon as possible to increase growth in the UK We believe Brexit's not working. The OBR judges that the UK economy is smaller and trade is weaker because of Brexit, and it will just get worse. 10 years after the Brexit vote, let's apply to rejoin ...

The sooner the better.

Inside Starmer’s plan to fight next general election on Brexit divide Exclusive: After tacking to the right on migration, it is on EU relations that the government believes it can strike a clear dividing line with opposition parties ahead of the next general election

BS from Starmer.
His "Reset" is "Make Brexit Work" rebranded.

Like Sunak, joined a few ancillary organisations, but on actual Rejoin? He's done nothing but rule it out.
Hasn't changed that stance. He's *protecting* Brexit.

The country deserves better.

Starmer once again trying to sit on the fence - "closer alignment" is a fudge. Brexit was based on lies and misunderstandings. It has done huge damage to our economy, & our int'l influence and stolen opportunities from our young. A leader with an ounce of bottle would chart a course to reverse it

Just to be absolutely clear-
Alex Pretti;
Did not threaten ICE with a gun
He did not have a criminal record
He was not a domestic terrorist.

He was beaten and MURDERED BY ICE, and no matter how the Fascist Regime try to spin it, these are the FACTS
