It’s hard to see how any of this can shift the mood of people who just don’t like migration. We already make migrants pay twice for their NHS care, has that satisfied anyone?

It’s not just the remarkable 63% who say they’d vote to rejoin the EU. It’s also the fact that this figure continues to rise slowly but steadily.
Brexit has failed and is seen to have failed. And geopolitics brings Britain and its neighbours, with whom it shares interests & values, closer together.

More than half of Britons support rejoining EU 10 years on from Brexit vote

REJOIN "is the rational and the patriotic approach," Neil Kinnock says at the launch of @bestforbritain.org's new report. "In an era of Trump's tariffs and tantrums, colossal Chinese advance, Russia's war on the West, and turmoil in the Middle East, our 'special relationship' has to be with Europe."

Imagine the Roosevelt administration cutting off all aid to the Soviet Union in 1943 giving a boost to Hitler’s war effort and boasting about it:

Direct empirical confirmation of my theory of the "immigration doom loop" in UK politics.... ☹️

Kind of remarkable how nativism have done far more damage to business interests in the UK and US than any imagined left-liberal program of regulation and taxation could possibly do

Danish Social Democrats adopted hardline, nativist anti-immigration policies and look to have recorded their worst election result in over 100 years. So, the lesson for the European left from the “Danish model” is that copying and normalizing the far-right leads to gutting your own support.

Thank God Starmer is in charge, really. If it had been any of his immediate predecessors, we'd currently be at war with Iran, playing lapdog to a deranged US administration, unable to say what we were doing or why.

Brexit going well

Explains a lot about the failure of Brexit that its main adherents should right now be prostrating themselves before the US because they think that's what an independent UK means.

"One school of thought in government sees a willingness to upset Labour members as the litmus test of getting it right for the public on immigration. That thinking is under more pressure now: a governing party which has lost half of its support can no longer afford to gratuitously offend supporters"

Obviously I disagree with the plan to extend ILR to 10 yrs but it hadn’t occurred to me that recent arrivals from the Commonwealth have the right to vote against it. Labour should reverse course on this policy. It won’t persuade xenophobes, just make people’s lives precarious and miserable.

Meanwhile, the decision to Brexit has never been less popular.

30% Right to leave
58% Wrong to leave

I'm no expert but I don't think that's how it works

All of Reform UK's 'shadow cabinet' went to private school.

If you're interested in history and the complex personalities and motivations of most important figures, it's fascinating how un-complex the Trump administration is. In almost all cases, if you just said "This guy is dumb, this guy is evil and this guy is crazy" you would not be oversimplifying

Gosh just from eyeballing the graph I wonder if anyone can think of something that might have happened around idk 2016 to cause a further deterioration?

Trump has doubled his net worth since being reelected through blatant and egregious corruption. The salary is peanuts.

It *literally* does.

Thats what it is. A document which says youre British.

Warning of long airport queues under new EU border control system. Airport organisation says queues could last up to six hours over the summer holidays. BBC News, 5 February.

Standing in endless airport queues wasn’t on the side of a bus, but it’s now part of the reality of travelling post-Brexit. Longer queues, stricter restrictions, and more expensive travel - is this what we were promised?

Brexit is a catastrophe that needs to be undone.

The solution to this, and many of the nation’s other problems, is to rejoin the EU at the earliest opportunity.

Kate Nash says that she doesn't think that she would have been able to have the career that she has if she was starting out now. This makes us wonder, how many talented, emerging musicians are being priced out of touring by post-Brexit barriers?

Nothing like enjoying your slightly cheaper pint while imagining the toddler crying from hunger that paid for it.

Jeffrey Epstein emailing Peter Thiel: Finding things on their way to collapse was much easier than finding the next bargain. ... Return to tribalism. Counter to globalization. Amazing new alliances.

Definitely seems like they destroyed the country on purpose.
