The only realistic way to get meaningful single market access is to drop the red lines and move toward full re-engagement. We must be honest about freedom of movement: it’s not just “immigration bad”. It’s two-way. British people get the freedom to go and work/travel/retire anywhere in Europe without endless costly red tape. That safety valve is incredibly valuable when unemployment rises here as happened in the 80’s after Thatcher’s decimation of industry, Brits escaped recession using FoM in 80’s - Auf Wiedersehen, Pet

Farage, with a very different accent, explaining how to exploit and profit from the very same system that he claimed to rail against. Including using one’s wife to account for financial irregularities. Well, it apparently works when trying to explain away house purchases, eh?

🚨 @gilliantett (FT) on Newsnight: “The Treasury quite likes immigration because in their terms, it’s good for economic growth… one of the fastest ways to boost an economy is to get more people in.” And she warns: weak UK productivity + falling net migration + losing high-skilled talent & academics is a serious problem. Many Brexit voters thought cutting it would improve public services. The opposite is true: more working-age immigrants = stronger economy = better-funded services.

LBC caller: “I’ve never voted Labour but I’d walk barefoot to vote for them if they rejoin the EU.” Rejoin is surging, 59% want to rejoin.

Lisa Nandy dismisses Streeting’s remarks about the EU as ‘odd’, but what is surely odder is that we have a Culture Secretary who isn’t screaming from the rooftops for us to rejoin, seeing how catastrophic the loss of free movement has been for our arts and creative industries.

This week, the King's Speech featured very little to support music and musicians, but did include a commitment to ‘strengthen ties with the European Union' Read more here ⬇️ ism.org/news/kings-spe…

I hope this isn’t true. There are times when it’s more important to put country before party. This is one of them. Burnham’s longstanding commitment to a fairer voting system could transform our democracy & counter dire threat of a Reform UK government theguardian.com/politics/2026/…

As Culture Secretary @lisanandy must surely understand that Brexit has had a devastating effect on the arts in the UK and its artists. Joining the Single Market and reinstating Freedom of Movement would go a huge way to rectifying the damage.

EXC: Lisa Nandy tells @cathynewman there will be no return to single market or free movement with the EU (raising the question of how far Keir Starmer's EU reset announced this AM can actually go) “I don't think anyone in this country wants to reopen the Brexit debate. We had a referendum. That referendum was won by leave. "The majority of people voted for it…. there's no appetite, either from the government, from Europe, or from the public, I think, to start getting into renegotiating things like free movement, single market access. "We went around that track for years during the Brexit wars. This country doesn't need any more division."

@edwinhayward The arts and culture have, arguably, been most affected by Brexit. We not only need to get back into the single market, we need a Secretary of State who is going to argue for the place of artists in Europe, not in effect the opposite.

No place for Lisa Nandy in the next Labour leader's cabinet. Can't have anyone who's still loudly banging the drum for Labour's idiotic Brexit red lines.

🔴 87% of Labour members support a manifesto pledge to rejoin the EU. 🔴 Strong backing across the party for a clear commitment. The membership and voters are way ahead of the leadership on Europe, and ignoring it risks internal trouble - leadership challenges, Green defections, demoralisation. The rejoin sentiment is a major fault line inside Labour. labourlist.org/2026/05/labour…

Public galleries don’t need economists, which is then just another financial burden, but rather our support through the state which is much less now than in 2010 - directors should be shouting loudly for that. Starmer is not doing what he promised to do - ie support the arts.

Non, mais je rêve ! L'ex dirigeant du département chargé de négocier le Brexit affirme que la GB devrait songer à "frapper à la porte" pour revenir dans l'UE - vu que le Brexit était "loin d'avoir correspondu aux attentes" Mais quelle bande de clowns franchement 🤡

In what The Times calls a "highly unusual intervention" 🤡Philip Rycroft, the former Permanent Sec at the Dep for Exiting the European Union* says life outside the EU has "failed to live up to the expectations" (𝑛𝑜 𝑘𝑖𝑑𝑑𝑖𝑛𝑔 !) and that the UK should now "think about rejoining" You couldn't make these people up🤡 *aka the man who oversaw 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒘𝒉𝒐𝒍𝒆 𝒔𝒐𝒅𝒅𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝑩𝒓𝒆𝒙𝒊𝒕 𝒏𝒆𝒈𝒐𝒕𝒊𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏𝒔 - no less !
