A thank you to Brexiteers.

“The only way to make brexit work is to continue to make Northern Ireland, a scared and integral part of the UK and it’s sovereignty remain part of the EU in all but name. A borderless country aside from with the UK.”


Totally worth the last 8 years chaos just for the giggles

2016 - This is going to be the easiest deal in history.

2023 - We are making incremental progress toward reaching a deal on the movement of goods between the UK and the UK.
 
According to the ONS, via Campbell, Brexit is costing us just a million quid an hour
BBC News - Is Brexit costing £1m a day and other claims
Um did you read that link...?
Reality Check contacted Mr Campbell about this claim and he corrected himself, saying that it was actually £1m an hour (he also tweeted this correction).

He added that it was not the ONS that said it - the line was in a briefing from the European Movement, an organisation that supports the UK rejoining the European Union (EU).
The £1m an hour figure was quoted by its director of communications on Politics Live in September 2022.

Reality Check asked the European Movement where the figure came from and was pointed towards an interview with the head of consumer research at the delivery company ParcelHero.
They also outline some major flaws with the calculation used for the figure.
 
A CD I am after costs £13 from a european supplier. The postage and tax is £18!
yes £20 is about standard Ive found - there are so many issues posting to the EU leading to parcels getting stopped and lost at customs that i'm finding everyone does international tracking post for any international mailing , and that costs more

Fascinating. Having destroyed Labour in 2019 under Corbyn it appears Planet Remain is going to try to do the same to Starmer in 2024.

Sunak and Co will be rubbing their hands together at the prospect of the red wall voters coming back.

At least the remain clowns in the trade union movement have had the sense to steer well clear of this PMC jaunt made up of failed politicians, mandarins and representatives of capital and chaired by the creator of new labour Peter Mandelson.

With regard to the consequences of the victorious vote for the whole of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland to leave the European Union it is the winners and now the Labour Party who have fucked things up (under the guise of the undefined word ‘Brexit’) not those who voted remain.
The Labour Party slogan of ‘make Brexit work’ is a pile of wank, they should have the slogan ‘Solve the Problems’ in relation to the vote to leave.
Labour know they will get the anti Tory vote so I doubt the leadership cares much about how they now look (in my eyes anyway) like a bunch of wankers on this issue.

The difference being that voters have had a chance now to see brexit for what it was all along - a pack of lies and fantasy.

Yes, I’m sure that’s the starting point for Mandelson and his cronies. However, there is a fatal flaw: whatever views working class voters might have formed of the Tory implementation of leave they don’t want to go back in to the EU under any circumstances. Been there, tried that etc…

I have absolutely zero time for Mandleson et al but you can't know the bit in bold with any degree of certainty.
 
Better relations with the EU without rejoining might be more popular - not getting rid of the environmental and labour laws for example, and not generally antagonizing them for no apparent reason.
