Elliot Wilson rightly says that Brexiters should stop crying betrayal and make the case for brexit - true, but he fails to make any such case because there is none.

Maybe you’re thinking: “Oh a government silencing its critics is something that happens in places like Russia, or North Korea, or LA, not the UK.” Well, that’s what we thought, and now we’ve got King Donny the Eighth calling for executions. It happens fast.

Very surprising that those politicians claiming to be patriotic and proclaiming #Brexit sovereignty are the ones cheering on Trump’s legal action against @bbcnews-world-rss.bsky.social - an act destined to cost UK taxpayers, who they claim to defend too.

Totally treacherous, hubristic hypocrisy.
Trump is coming after our BBC. He’s suing it for $10 billion, and the Conservatives and Reform are cheering him on.

Why didn't Starmer seek to negotiate ETIAS away in the so-called “Brexit reset” with the EU? There was huge mutual advantage in doing so. He never put it on the agenda, so limited were his goals for the reset, so worried was he about Farage.

Streeting is right. Britain needs to face up to the fact that Brexit was an unmitigated disaster and rebuild close links with the EU. Ultimately, rejoin - if they’ll have us back. And I wouldn’t normally expect to side with him… 😬
