There are urgent economic reasons for a pivot back towards the EU. There are urgent cultural and social reasons too and now, with that greedy narcissistic fascist in the White House, there are urgent geopolitical reasons too.
It's a dereliction of responsibility to insist on fatuous red lines now.

Staggering - the effort and resource *still* being invested in keeping the Brexit shitshow on the road.

"The 2016 decision to exit the European Union has been nothing short of an economic disaster... It’s a bigger hit than if every bank, brokerage firm and hedge fund in London were suddenly to disappear." ~AA
👏🏽"The President and the Brexiteers share a fear of strangers... Trade, in [Trump's] view, is other countries draining our wallets. Immigration is other people stealing our jobs. International treaties are handcuffs limiting sovereignty." 🎯~AA

The super-rich rightwing are pouring money into Reform. Do ordinary voters really think their aim is to even out social inequality and make their lives better? Do they think they’re doing it so Farage invests in infrastructure and public services? Ffs. Democracy being beaten to death in plain sight.

The collapse of the UK was hastened by Brexit, but it's been coming for a long time. Destroy the public sector and hand over water, energy etc to the profiteers. Then, as Starmer is doing, flog off the rest of the UK to billionaires. Started with Thatcher. It's called #Neoliberalism. Read this!
