It is a mistake to think that if the UK rejoined the EU, Britain's problems would disappear. The British political class was similarly deluded before. In the 1960s, the EEC was doing well, while the UK lagged. So, the UK joined the EEC in 1973. The EEC membership did not help. The EEC (including the UK) stagnated in the 1970s. It was Margaret Thatcher's reforms that made the UK economy grow relative to Europe in the 1980s. The same can be said today. The UK has the means - domestic reform - to fix its problems. Rejoining the EU is no shortcut. The EU is also, in large part, stagnating.

A rip-roaring and energetic speech from esteemed Conservative peer and Chair of our Advisory Council, Lord Redwood. John writes regularly for Britain Unbound, as well as daily for his online diary, so you should take advantage of this shared wisdom.

‘This Labour Government loathes Brexit’ Lord @johnredwood at Brexit Unleashed gives a tour de force on why Brexit is under threat from Starmer, Steering and Co. Let’s seize back our future and seize the opportunities.

Similarly, most voters think rules on who can come to this country should be set by the UK government. Only 9% thought we should be required to follow rules set by international institutions, for example the European Court on Human Rights.

Thrilled to be invited to join the Advisory Council of the newly-launched @BritainUnbound which has been started to oppose the EU Reset and its embedded legal technique of waving through a step-by-step process of rejoining, in flagrant contempt for the views of the British people

The Labour party has no electoral mandate to override the biggest vote this country has ever seen when voting for Brexit. We must defend the overwhelming democratic vote of the British people and fight to make sure Brexit is not betrayed. The Labour party’s internal leadership psychodrama should not hide the fact that they plan to take the UK back in to the expensive clutches of the EU. In short Labour want to wreck Brexit. express.co.uk/news/politics/…

Rejoining the EU will not in and of itself increase economic growth in the UK, just as leaving the EU did not reduce it. Brexit was largely a macroeconomic non-event. This could be different if the UK were to rejoin the EU with a positive agenda for growth and deregulation, and about strengthening the EU’s role in the world. I am not holding my breath here. Remain was a scare campaign in 2016. What I have seen from Rejoin advocates so far is essentially a version of the same. eurointelligence.com

@CliveWismayer My god I think he's getting it. The British public do not want to be EU members.

Wolfgang Munchau@EuroBriefing·
The Rejoin debate in the UK started where Remain left off, with a narrow focus that fails to go beyond disputable transactional value. For me, a good metric of the distance the UK is away from EU membership is number of references to “the deal” politicians hope to extract from the EU. Every EU member state has its exemptions and quirks, but there is nobody who talks about EU membership in terms of a "deal". The framing is all wrong. This isn’t about the deal you get, but what you can bring to the table. My overall sense about Rejoin is that they don’t know what they want to rejoin. More on this issue, and also on the limits of regulatory alignment in the AI sector: eurointelligence.com
