10 years after the referendum and the ONLY thing the minority who still support Brexit go on about, is winning that referendum (just). Why? Because it is the ONLY win Brexit has. The vote. Nothing since has been a win for Brexit. "Brexit has failed" Nigel Farage

We can power Britain’s future together - rebuilding cooperation with our European neighbours would mean cheaper energy, stronger investment, and greater security for the UK.

Seventy-five years ago, Britain helped create the European Convention on Human Rights, a promise of life, liberty, and fairness under the law. It has strengthened justice, protected victims, and upheld equality. These rights are ours to defend.

Today, the Chancellor named Brexit as one of the main reasons for expected tax rises and lower productivity. Wasn't Brexit supposed to put £350 million a week into the economy? 🤔 One of just many lies it seems...

Labour is right to call out the ways in which Brexit has damaged our economy - and the British public knows it. It’s the top reason they think Brexit has failed. Our new report analyses how the public views Brexit. Full report here:

We flounced out of the EU on the say-so of politicians who lied to us. And what a total shitshow that’s turned out to be. The polar opposite of what they promised. Now the call to flounce out of the ECHR. By the same people. Telling the same lies. Has the country been kicked in the head by a horse?

And expect that number to shrink further. No matter how much the government, major parties, or tabloid press push “Brexit benefits…” People know Brexit doesn’t. Brexit leaves the UK in a structurally weaker position, bleeding money, time, efficiency and opportunity daily.

Here's the full leaked recording of Shadow Home Secretary Chris Philp admitting that it's now harder to return asylum seekers who previously claimed asylum in Europe to that first safe country. And it's because of the botched Brexit deal that Boris Johnson claimed was a success.

Stephen Gethins is right to raise the question. If democracy means anything, it must include the right to change our minds. While no one can predict the future, what we can do now is start rebuilding our relationship with Europe, step by step, in the national interest.
