"Nearly a decade on from the Brexit referendum and almost five from when Brexit was supposedly ‘done’, voters who are genuinely happy with the Brexit we have are few and far between, and no political party is seriously suggesting that it’s a success."
Brexit referendum’s 10th anniversary: time to think again?

If you believe we can rejoin the EU soon, the reality is that it isn't going to happen. No major political party in England is calling for us to rejoin. So it falls to us to make the case

Petition: Commission a public inquiry into the impact of the UK exiting the European Union
Given that it has stated its aim of growing the UK economy, we think the Government needs to quantify the effects of exiting the European Union as soon as possible by setting up an inquiry.

Weekend Sport’s headline today.
As much as I want this, I know it can’t be done that quickly.
The headline is there to increase sales but I’m not sure if they expect outrage or rejoicing.

The UK would now want to rejoin the EU by 55% to 33%
Removing those that don’t know - that’s a 62.5% to 37.5% breakdown.

Turns out, the top 10 happiest countries in the world ALL use some form of Proportional Representation.
Perhaps the UK could learn something from them? 🤔

📹 WATCH: In a recent interview, Kemi Badenoch said it's "a scandal" that Labour won a landslide on just a third of the vote.
So why won't she call for a fairer voting system?

Wow… this woman is brilliant. So refreshing to hear.
Love Barnsley and love this woman - more people like this and fewer racists please.
For any Americans reading this - Barnsley is a town in northern England surrounded by (ex)coal mining villages. Margaret Thatcher tried to destroy it, Reform target it - and this woman saves it!
