If we’d been shown this headline in 2016, we may have struggled to believe such a mess could be possible. But here we are, 8 years on, being asked to consider concessions on fish and opportunities for young people.
And the inescapable crappiness and tedium of it all is.. well.. just so very sad.

That sounds like a dodgy demand 😱
Join the club and follow the rules.
Ironically, most Brits appear willing.
It’s exactly the same entitlement.
Receiving benefits of free trade comes with a cost - be it with US,EUor CTTPT.
There is no such thing as a free lunch...some are healthier, some with wider benefits!
Labour are now actively pissing away future Growth for our economy and life and employment opportunities for our kids.
By the time of our next Election, this will be ‘their’ Brexit, and sadly we should vote accordingly.
Because why else would any Government turn its nose up at regaining £40 Billion of lost Tax Revenue annually, and goodness knows how much Growth, - apparently
(And the EU Countries as a whole are presumably missing out on similar amounts ... ?)
Because I notice that they only ever say that they are 'not rejoining anything, ever', - but they never say 'Why' ?
So either they are
So here
We don't meet ascension criteria, it's a decision for the EU and there is no guarantee that all existing members would approve an application today.
Labour are dealing with the shit they were left.
So there is an incentive there, which with their offer of a Youth mobility
Since leaving the EU, Leave politicians like Farage have been able to continually speak up for the protection of polar bears.
🤥🤥🤥🤥🤥🤥

1. After the lies were first exposed, we should have had a 2nd referendum.
2. It's clear that Brexit will NEVER be fully implemented, as our dependency on EU food means we can't bring in the required border checks.
When will our politicians accept these truths?
Active foreign interference occurred
Disinformation diminished ability of some voters to cast their ballots in an informed manner with the benefit of reliable information https://foreigninterferencecommission.ca/fileadmin/us...
That's it in a nutshell. You can't call an election free and fair if microtargeted disinformation means that different voters get different info.
May also have implications for the integrity of the US election 😉
Is it this report (found by searching)?

There are a few related documents.
This is the one that I had intended to link to - hope it works this time around

..and thanks for all the fish.
Is it because Brexiteers need an enemy and Rejoiners fixate on rejoining?
Brexitannia will either rejoin .. or become an Oligarch's puppet state anarchy .. but rejoining will need a lot of begging.
Would be interesting to see the results after the last 8 years of a bin fire

Alongside the injustice meted out to EU citizens, brexit continues to deprive upcoming generations of a potential future in the EU
It basically says the EU will want to see flexibility from the UK, but Starmer red lines, such as the youth mobility one, are getting in the way of a reset in other areas.

The High Court came to its conclusion that the referendum was not legally binding guided by “basic constitutional principles of parliamentary sovereignty and representative parliamentary democracy”.

They talk about a reset and wind up Johnson and the Mail into a frothing fury, while doing sod all and pissing off the EU 🤬
I don’t know when, or what state the nation will be in, but we will rejoin and quite possibly, we won’t have the same advantages, that we once had.
The EU knows we have a bleak future without a better trade deal, than the one we have.
Starmer goes looking for cake and gets hit with a custard pie in the face which to most people is unsurprising but not seemingly to him
OR he is just playing the negotiating game which tbf is the EU way - edge towards an agreement and don't show all your cards at once
🤷🏼♂️🤷🏼♂️🤷🏼♂️
We were a Law maker when were in. But they didn't mention that.
No attempt to consider how Europeans may feel about the U.K. or the destabilising effect of reopening the wounds of the last 8 years.
He's wrong, but won't listen.
The inevitable is UK should break up.
NI is easier, then Scotland, Wales.
Reform as a union of independant nations.
It sounds more ridiculous when reported more accurately as "Sand Eels and Scallops"
Voted for #Brexit by default
If you don't vote, you enable the win, one way or another
It is not a neutral option
If remain won the same would have been true, therefore I think it’s fair to say 52/48 isn’t a resounding result. Farage wouldn’t have stopped his support of Russia if he’d lost by that margin.
To make sense of facts there will always be subjective analysis & opinion wrapped around them. Facts on their own don’t conclusively prove anything - there will always be other interpretations possible especially if causation is implied
I’m happy to join them on their behalf.
A bit of activism PLEASE !!
My kids have Irish passports, lucky for them … . but every one should have free movement …
Let’s start with the under 30’s please.
This is how negotiations will go
UK: We want to change BREXIT.
EU: Fine! this is what we want in return. Close the door on the way out and give us a shout when you're ready to sign.
The EU can live with the status quo and in the stronger negotiating position and they know it.
Mention the upheaval it caused to so many Brits who lived, worked, loved and studied in Europe. The loss of freedom was immense to many, not only emotionally but financially also.
In most cases or circumstances, collected individuals would sue a government for loss of rights and finance.
This country didn't know how lucky it was.
Brexit has been and always will be utter dog s**t.

He turned up to find they are playing Chess ..
You give us rights to fish some more in your fishing grounds & take in some money spending, highly motivated, energetic, healthy young ppl to stay with you for a while. Deal?
Starmer: Not on your nelly, EU.

And nowthey want some concessions in exchange for things the UK wants instead of simply agreeing to every demand? Imagine that.
First, they were in banking, so cleverly riding sub-prime leading to the '08 crash.
Then, the '16 self-harm inflicted by the same bankers who had moved to politics!
When is the publics interests time to be served?
"Let them eat cake"
