“The economic cost of Brexit, reliably estimated at around 5% of GDP and with a total loss to government coffers by 2035 of over £300bn, is unlikely to be offset by attempting to ‘make Brexit work’ – a slogan which rather confirms that it hasn’t” westenglandbylines.co.uk/news/brexit/...

This is the same tired old trope we have seen trotted out by the far right and other racists for years. It's nonsense. "English identity", is pretty undefined as it is, but what we do know is that pretty much every aspect of our culture has been influenced by migration. #R4today

Brexit is shredding our businesses! 🔥 Mark Ormiston, owner of Ormiston Wire, said small businesses such as his had been flushed “down the toilet” by the masterminds of Brexit who gave little thought to the real-life consequences for UK manufacturing. www.theguardian.com/politics/art...

One EU diplomat from a large member state expressed concern that the UK government was not being straightforward with British voters about EU demands. “They have to be honest with their public. We are not a shelf you can pick things off,” they said. www.theguardian.com/world/articl...

🚨🚨"The madness of snubbing Erasmus+: Keir Starmer’s trip to Germany and France feels empty without rejoining the scheme". Characteristically sound work by Jonty Bloom of the senseless UK snubbing of rejoining Erasmus. #brexitstupidity via The New European www.theneweuropean.co.uk/the-madness-...

🔥 NEW: UK snubs EU over rejoining Erasmus exchange scheme… …but new polling finds a majority of the public support rejoining it, with only 15% against. What is this government thinking? Where’s the “change”?

The UK’s membership of the European Union gave us so many benefits that we’ve now lost through Brexit. It’s so important to keep talking about Brexit to keep the pressure on Keir Starmer and the Labour government to prioritise a route back to EU membership. youtu.be/kFIFDKyo3nk?...

A youth mobility scheme is not "free movement". And free movement would not "mock Brexit" anyway - several non-EU countries have it.

This is infuriating. An EU-UK youth mobility scheme would be a win-win for UK economy and society, and speed progress in other areas of the EU-UK relationship. Good to see the Lib Dems backing it though👏 www.theguardian.com/politics/art...
