Often see local press letters from #Brexit fans claiming European economies doing badly. Underpinned by falsehoods & fact-free fantasies. So this Hull Daily Mail letter makes a refreshing #BrexitReality evidence-based contrast: ‘Comparable #EU economies perform better than UK & US’ #RejoinEU

The referendum result was unsafe and Brexit should never have happened.
Tell our Government this and that we should now "Apply for the UK to rejoin the EU fully - do not just 'reset' the relationship"

Petition: Apply for the UK to rejoin the EU fully - do not just 'reset' the relationship
I think the UK needs to rejoin the EU fully for maximum economic benefit and to restore influence rather than merely 'reset' relations.

Remember Frexit, Grexit, Irexit and all the other *exits the baying Brexiters assured us would be coming along within weeks or months of Brexit?
Well, that's one more thing they literally couldn't have been more wrong about.

Non-EU immigration has soared since Brexit. The points based immigration visa system was designed to replace EU workers with rights by lower-paid workers without rights from developing countries.
To control immigration we need to rejoin the EU.

If Labour weren't such total cowards about Brexit, they could have diffused the row over immigration by pointing, again and again and again, at the graph that shows immigration skyrocketed immediately after the transition period ended.
Make "Brexit = v high levels of immigration" in peoples' minds.

Given its aim of growing the UK economy, we think the Government needs to quantify the effects of Brexit as soon as possible by setting up an inquiry.

1/ Starmer terrifies me, because he clearly doesn't understand what is going on.
He is trying to do a trade deal with a dictator in the making who is collaborating with Putin to destroy democracy, freedom, and human rights, and he is rejecting rejoining our democratic friends in the EU.

Do you want to go back on Brexit, I do, and most of the UK does too.
It doesn't matter what they want, it matters what you do.

Austerity is political anthrax.
Fortunately for Starmer, there's an alternative.
