Kemi Badenoch, once a strong advocate for Brexit, has acknowledged its economic damage. The evidence speaks for itself, and the Government cannot continue to ignore it.

Here's Elon Musk providing a splendid demonstration of the Dunning-Kruger effect coming into play when individuals, convinced of their own genius, step outside of their sphere of competence, into a realm of which they have not the least understanding.

#FBPE is a European movement that was founded to defend the EU and fight fascism & far right populism.
That's why it's hard to get why people, who support our movement, are still active on a platform run by someone who wants to destroy the EU.
That is like fighting fascism on a Nazi network.

The EU isn’t the solution to all the UK’s ills, most of which are self inflicted; but Brexit was never the answer either. Instead , it made everything worse, and weakened us domestically and internationally. Stop pretending we can make Brexit work.
