#Brexit, a project by international rightwing organizations, was an utter failure. To withstand a sandwiched position by/a an imperialist, expansionist #Kremlin and a likeminded #Washington (#Panama, #Canada, #Greenland,) a renewal of the "ever closer union" is of the essence.
#EU processes take far too long in this rapidly changing,...

The survey analysed responses from almost 15,000 people across England, Scotland and Wales.

The USA has always viewed Europe and the West with this disdain but has just kept up the facade so they can keep us as their cash cow. Trump just didn't understand this, but at least now we all know how the US feels about us.

Finally some good news.
Brexit has been a disaster. The sheer cost of it has been a complete waste, not to mention the impact on trade, the arts and the negative effect on young people’s ability to move freely.
The sooner we get an opportunity to return, the better.

#Brexit problem: UK tap water safety at risk after labs shut down
#EU countries will share laboratory capacity from 2026, meaning that if the #UK was still in the EU, water companies would be able to use products that passed tests on the continent.
But UK rules mean products cannot be tested abroad; they have to be tested in the country in a certified lab, of which there are now none.
"Brexit makes no sense in a world dominated by Trump. Britain’s place is back in the EU", from The Guardian.
We really need to start talking with the EU about a closer arrangement, e.g. single market & customs union. The world is changing out from under us and we'll flounder on our own.

Guardian: Talks on UK rejoining EU could start in 10 years’ time, says Peter Mandelson

If only there were some sort of arrangement that would:
Enable movement with the EU,
Ease trade with the EU,
Remove the damage of leaving the EU,
Restore the benefits of EU membership.
I wonder what such a setup might be called...
Rejoiners head to London for National Rejoin March 2024, amid widespread dissatisfaction towards Brexit

@georgebaily "they obviously now have the Parliamentary power to undo the massive harm done to the UK by Brexit" - No. They haven't. #Brexit cannot be "undone", "stopped" or "reversed". The #UK ist also completely powerless when wanting to "#rejoin". The only thing your government can do is eat humble pie, and then #apply for #EU membership, cap in hand. It must also start with reforming itself to meet the #Copenhagen criteria so an application will even be considered by the 27 EU members.
