It’s the silver lining from this terrible age of Donald Trump: he is pushing Britain closer to the EU
“The will is there, if not yet the way; what’s needed is a little political courage”
Exactly
Those ‘Red Lines’ need to be ditched

I once had high regard for Chris Bryant. He’s a prime example of what Labour Party have become, contemptuous to their electorate. @labouruk.bsky.social @liambyrnemp.bsky.social @labourlewis.bsky.social @labour4pr.bsky.social #PRP #CustomsUnionNow #SingleMarketNow @francesca0912.bsky.social
I understand the argument. But it's an argument that pits the few against the many more who need the same thing. So no more divide and rule. Either we all get our freedom of movement back, or none of us do.

Racists are idiots.
Fascists are morons.
Populists are crooks.
For the last decade, they've been dictating British politics.
No wonder things have gone to shit.

In case you missed it ...
The European Economic Area (EEA) covers more than 30 countries and half a billion people on our continent. It includes Single Market membership and Freedom of Movement, but it does NOT require a country to be a member of the EU.

To see Brexit Britain included in this list says everything you need to know about the economic credibility of those who still support Brexit.

Brexit has failed.
Blue Labour has failed.
It's time for a Labour reboot.
Throw away the silly populism, start telling the truth about Brexit and Freedom of Movement, and finally apply to rejoin the Single Market as a first step towards rejoining the whole EU.

This is the size of the British market compared to the EU's Single Market (or European Economic Area). Each flag represents 10 million consumers.

Here's Carl Sagan explaining different dimensions and tesseracts. But as difficult and complex as this is, it's still easier to follow than a Blue Labour minister trying to explain why we can't rejoin the Single Market.
#SingleMarketNow 🇬🇧🇪🇺
How long will Reeves continue this grift? It's the same lie the Tories were telling – and everyone in that room knows it. The only way for Britain to regain economic and political stability is to rejoin the Single Market as a prelude to rejoining the whole EU.

Rejoining the Single Market would increase growth and decrease inflation. The only ones arguing against it are those who don't want EU Freedom of Movement – even though our net immigration figures were much lower when we had it.
#SingleMarketNow 🇬🇧🇪🇺
"Official figures released by the Office for National Statistics (ONS) reveal that inflation rose last month to 3.6%, its highest point in nearly 18 months. Food price inflation has increased for the third consecutive month to its highest annual rate since February of last year.”
#SingleMarketNow 🇬🇧🇪🇺
France wants us back in the EU. Germany wants us back in the EU. The EU itself wants us back in the EU. Everybody knows we were dragged out of it by lying Brexit MAGAs. So with all that in mind, surely we can at least take the first small step of rejoining the Single Market!
#SingleMarketNow 🇬🇧🇪🇺
Rejoining the Single Market would make people "feel better off" immediately by ...
1. Adding 4%-6% to GDP.
2. Helping to ease the skills shortage through EU Freedom of Movement.
3. Giving people back some hope for the future by ripping Brexit fascism a new one!
#SingleMarketNow 🇬🇧🇪🇺
12 of the top 20 global nations with the highest per capita GDP participate either fully or partly in the EU's Single Market (which includes Freedom of Movement).

These cuts to welfare due to Austerity 2.0 wouldn't even be on the table if we hadn't left the EU and the Single Market. The Brexit madness is costing us lost revenue, lost taxes, lost funding, lost investment, and so much more!
#SingleMarketNow 🇬🇧🇪🇺
For those who've forgotten, here's Farage promising we'd stay in the Single Market (like Norway) if we left the EU 😡 As we now know, it was a blatant lie. Because he knew that if they told the truth, he'd lose.
#SingleMarketNow 🇬🇧🇪🇺
A Brexit Day reminder that Britain never voted to leave the Single Market. Because it wasn't even on the ballot! Leaving the Single Market was a POLITICAL decision by the Conservative government. No other government is bound by it.
