A newspaper clipping of a letter to the editor in the Huddersfield Daily Examiner dated Saturday, March 28, 2026. The headline reads "Selective facts of Brexit fans". Written by Peter Brown of Cleckheaton, the letter systematically dismantles a Conservative Home article. It explains that while Brexit supporters claim rejoining the EU would cost £31 billion gross, they ignore the OBR data showing a £100 billion annual hit to the UK economy, £40 billion in lost tax revenues, and £12 billion in new red tape for UK firms. It compares the massive economic damage of Brexit to the microscopic 0.17% GDP boost from new trade deals, concluding that being outside the EU is proving costly with pains but no gains.

Don't swallow #Brexit "poison pill" arguments, says #Yorkshire #Huddersfield examinerlive.co.uk letter. 👇

Leaving #EuropeanUnion left £100bn/yr economic hole & £12bn red tape burden crushing UK firms.

Time to boost economy & #RejoinEU?

Letter headed "Why a rejoin referendum makes sense", which appeared in the Hull Daily Mail on 27 March 2026. A recent call by the Mayor of London Sir Sadiq Khan for Labour to go into the next election promising to rejoin the European Union is highlighted. At the very least, it should be promising a new referendum, says the author.

Strange how EU citizens can still come to the UK for 6 months…

But Brits can’t usually stay 6 months in the EU27 without visas.

That’s not “taking back control”.

That’s giving up rights and calling it a win.

I wonder if the EU has a better trade deal with Australia than we do as a result of the combined power that is the single market?

All that guff about "Brexit freedoms" to make our own trade deals is really working out brilliantly, isn't it?

Turns out shouting “sovereignty” doesn’t lower bills, fix trade, or stop queues at Dover.
Working with friends does. Funny that.

Letter headed "Making trade harder harms UK growth", which appeared in the Hull Daily Mail on 23 March 2026. Peter Packham, Chair of Leeds for Europe, takes issue with an earlier correspondent's understanding of economics and the impact Brexit has had on the UK. He highlights calls by Mayor of London Sir Sadiq Khan for Britain to rejoin the European Union, and for the Labour Party to have that commitment in its next General Election manifesto.

🇪🇺 "We are going to rejoin the European Union" — #SadiqKhan.

With Brexit leaving the UK £140bn worse off, the argument is won.

The sooner the better, says our Chair @leedsblue67.bsky.social in @hulldailymail.co.uk

A letter headed "Red lines are suffocating our economy", which appeared in The Yorkshire Post on 23 March 2023. Peter Packham, Chair of Leeds for Europe, supports a call by Mayor of West Yorkshire Tracy Brabin for the UK Government to agree a customs union deal with the European Union.

🔴 Starmer's #Brexit red lines are suffocating the #Yorkshire economy.

Letter headed "Difference of opinion", that appeared in the Yorkshire Evening Post on 23 March 2024. The writer takes issue with two earlier correspondents. One, he argues, misrepresents the accuracy of polling that proves Brexit is unpopular. The second failed to recognise a Green Party candidate won a recent by-election, and the Greens supporting rejoining the European Union.

In today’s @yorkshireeveningpost.co.uk 📰👇

💥 78% of Labour voters support #RejoinEU 🇪🇺

💥 Only 1 in 10 think #Brexit is a success 📉

“Fringe”? No — inconvenient facts for some.

Letter headed "Trade intensity", which appeared in The Yorkshire Post on 20 March 2026. Jas Olak, Vice Chair of Leeds for Europe, takes issue with a previous letter calling for protectionism to "bear down on imports" and a goods trade deficit with the European Union. Historically, such a strategy has never worked, says Ms Olak.

Letter headed "Rejoining is the ultimate solution for the UK", which appeared in The Yorkshire Post on 19 March 2026. Contrary to what a previous correspondent indicated, the writer remains keen to see the UK rejoin the European Union. Leaving it has been enormously damaging for the UK, he maintains.

#RejoinEU "ultimate solution" for UK - says @yorkshirepost.co.uk letter

Decade's "damning verdict" for #Brexit:

👉 Only 1 in 10 say leaving #EuropeanUnion 'a success'

👉 #Brexit campaigns didn't fulfil promises, 'left country much worse off'

👉 Red tape deters small firm exporting

Time to #RejoinEU

Letter To The Editor headed "We're not broke", which appeared in The Yorkshire Post on 13 March 2026. The author refutes a previous correspondent's assertion that the UK is "almost bankrupt" and so cannot afford to be a member of the European Union. A closer trading relationship with the EU and eventually rejoining will create great opportunities to boost the UK economy, this writer argues.

Is #Brexit Britain "almost bankrupt", meaning we can't afford #EuropeanUnion membership?

Or...

Is the state of the #UKEconomy so precarious we can't afford to ignore the opportunities #EU membership would open up?

A letter published in the Yorkshire Evening Post on 12 March 2026, headed "A few polling generalisations". The writer takes issue with an earlier correspondent who said polling is unreliable and should be ignored. This correspondent believes that is because he wants to discourage people from paying attention to surveys showing how unpopular Brexit (Britain leaving the European Union) is proving to be.

Polls showing #Brexit is unpopular frustrate the minority still backing leaving the #EuropeanUnion – says @yorkshireeveningpost.co.uk letter.

Numbers they’d rather ignore:

🇪🇺 59% #RejoinEU vs 41% stay out – whatukthinks.org

🇪🇺 83% of 16–25s back #RejoinEU – @itvpeston.bsky.social

Despite perceptions, it wasn't 'mostly'. There was only one percentage point between the national vote and that of the farming demographic in that sordid 2016 Referendum. A nation has reaped the bitter harvest of #BrexitReality. None are unscathed.
