Time for a Brexit reckoning
In order to finally move one, Britain must face the abysmal failure this project has been.

Rebuilding EU ties ‘the biggest prize’ for British economy, Reeves says
The U.K.’s chief finance minister backs alignment with the bloc only when it’s in Britain’s “national interest.”

A major new report from the Federal Trust and The Constitution Society tackles the role immigration policy played in causing Brexit, and that Brexit has since played in driving UK immigration policy.

With a growing number of politicians calling for closer ties with our European neighbours, yesterday the Mayor of London, Sir Sadiq Khan, joined them. It is clear - there is widespread public support for repairing our relationship with Europe, and the Government must listen.
My ultimate goal is for us to rejoin [the EU] and I think it will happen in my lifetime. I want us to be part of a customs union. I’m an advocate for us being part of a single market. I think we can negotiate more now, because of how geopolitics has changed, than we could in 2016 or 2019. Europe needs us, and we need Europe. Sir Sadiq Khan, Mayor of London

I bought this pin in 2016.

At the time, it was about hope for the UK.

It feels so much bigger than that now... in a world of #Russia, #China and the #TrumpRegime... it almost feels like hope for democracy.

Sadiq's statement has got the racist blue ticks on X/Twitter frothing again.

He's right- we need to #GetBrexitUndone asap!

A recent poll by Opinium, commissioned by European Movement UK, found that 75% of Britons favour joining the Single Market to lower taxes. Rejoining would be a practical step towards economic renewal and a more confident role in the world - we must act soon to prevent any more damage to the country.
Sadiq Khan: My ultimate goal is to reverse Brexit. London Mayor believes it will happen in his lifetime and wants to rejoin single market in meantime. 9 February.

Sir Sadiq Khan has stepped up his calls to reverse Brexit, describing it as his “ultimate goal” for the UK to join the European Union.
In an interview with The Observer, the Labour Mayor said he wanted Sir Keir Starmer to show more ambition on rebuilding links with the EU...

"The economic cost of Brexit is no longer theoretical. It’s measurable, compounding – and devastating. Britain’s fastest-growing, most productive businesses before Brexit became the most damaged afterwards. Brexit punished the very companies that powered growth."

#Brexit wasn’t a mistake…it was a scam. With more and more evidence of interference from #Russia, #Epstein and #Bannon.

UK's costs: GDP is 6–8% smaller in 2025
None of the (fake) promises kept. They not only fooled 🇺🇸.
#RejoinEU #EuropeUnited
Liz Webster @LizWebsterSBF 🚨 The clearest, most devastating summary of Brexit’s damage which answers every remaining excuse. Brexit caused a slow economic bleed: •GDP is 6–8% smaller than it would have been by 2025: worse than forecast. •Investment is down 18% compared to similar economies. •Employment and productivity are 4% lower. •The damage accumulated year after year, driven by uncertainty, friction and lost integration. Nearly 1 in 10 CFOs spent 6+ hours a week dealing with Brexit fallout for years. Huge amount of time/money preparing for economic sabotage. 👀The killer finding 👉firms most exposed to the EU: 😩 Were the fastest growing before Brexit 😥 Became the most damaged after Brexit Brexit punished Britain’s most productive, outward-facing businesses, the exact engines of growth. Brexit is a rare modern case study of a rich country which proves deliberately raising barriers and the result is: •Lower growth •Lower productivity •Lower wages •Permanent relative decline ⚠️ A BIG warning for any country flirting with economic nationalism, trade wars, or sovereignty over integration.

UK didn’t ‘taken back control’ after #Brexit, says Chair @leedsblue67.bsky.social in @yorkshirepost.co.uk letter. That’s #BrexitReality. UK firms must follow #EuropeanUnion rules to trade.

#Farage -style harder #Brexit would make us worse off. Better off with #SingleMarket. Better still #RejoinEU.
This letter published in The Yorkshire Post on 5 February 2026 is headed: "Britain is largely a rule-taker outside the EU." Peter Packham, Chair of Leeds for Europe, references an earlier column published by The Yorkshire Post about Brexit. Mr Packham argues that even outside the EU that British firms must follow EU rules if the want to trade with Europe. Rejoining the European Union would give the UK greater decision-making power.
