✅ @Simon_Nixon Spot on.
Tony Blair’s claim that Britain shouldn’t move closer to Europe while economically weak is historically illiterate.
We joined the EEC in 1973 from a position of weakness and it was the right strategic choice.
Delaying action on Single Market access only deepens the Brexit drag. Waiting for some mythical future strength is a recipe for permanent decline.
We need a leader prepared to face reality on Europe, not more Blairite denial dragging us towards USA vassalage.
Simon Nixon@Simon_Nixon
As a simple matter of history, this from Tony Blair is plain wrong. The last time Britain entered a structured relationship with Europe, it was for a position of economic weakness. Rejoining should be part of any coherent domestic strategy, as Labour is starting to acknowledge

@TedUrchin It won’t because when rejoin loses remoaners derangement won’t disappear- these people hate democracy
English
I agree. As painful as it might be, only another referendum will resolve this 10 year old festering and open wound.

@LBC Short termism - enjoying the three or four hot days we are likely to encounter this summer
English
‘A lot of people welcome this warmer weather…’
‘They might, but I think they’re foolish.’
@MrJohnNicolson argues that people enjoying the heatwave are guilty of 'short‑termism'.

Some of us have known this all along....

What a vile thing to say. Grieve has a perfect right to call himself a Conservative. You don’t have to believe in Brexit to be a Conservative. Brexit runs entirely counter to traditional Tory beliefs in competition, the benefits of the market & trade & leading in Europe.
Simon Clarke@SirSimonClarke
Dominic Grieve long since lost the right to be considered a Conservative (or, arguably, a centrist).

@JohnCrookes7 Yet you would jeopardise our access to much faster growing emerging markets and get tied to the anemic growth of the EU
English
People consider that as a net contributor to the EU budget we were being ripped off. In fact membership gave the UK tariff free access to the emerging markets particularly to those in Eastern Europe, huge economic opportunities which were lost when we left the EU.
John Duffield@jfwduffield
Two of the richest countries in Europe, Switzerland & Norway, have spent decades resisting EU membership. Poor countries want to join the EU because it redistributes taxpayers money from rich members to poor ones. Not hard to understand at all. Hence the British rebate.

💥 97,500!💥
Let’s tip it over the 100,000 mark to force the government to respond.
Given the party in power now realises they need the pro-EU base - are they really going to refuse a debate in parliament on this?
Let’s find out!

Any claim from doubters that the EU wouldn't want us back "collapses under even cursory scrutiny".

@Fyfestar @nw_nicholas Yes, Labour inflation- nothing to do with EU membership or otherwise

@TSalfordian @rightviewuk @nw_nicholas Whilst the UK paid the EU lots we got lots back in grants for road improvements, new ferries and other infrastructure that Westminster wasn't interested in funding. The same applies in these countries. Being in the club helps their economies so they will get back that and more.

The EU is growing.
The EU is changing.
The UK? Not so much.

This thread demolishes the Brexit scaremongering over the hurdles to rejoining which are far less then they say due to the drafting of the treaties and exceptions already made to existing members who are hardly going to accept discrimination just to block us.

Would 🇬🇧 be forced to join Schengen and the Euro to rejoin 🇪🇺? The question is decisive. According to @YouGov when those conditions are presented support for rejoining declines from 54 to 36%. Below is a thread based off my latest piece for @ArguablyMag showing if you look at the treaties 🇬🇧 would not in fact be forced to actually do so. Politically the path to Europe is open. arguably.uk/p/a-good-rejoi…

Since Mark Carney has waded into the Brexit debate again, a reminder that he came up with this obvious nonsense... 👇
(These numbers used current market exchange rates. On any sensible measure, e.g. growth in real GDP per head, Germany has underperformed.)

@justalexoki You can’t, it’s a corrupt failing political project - much better out

dumb question maybe but wouldn't it be better to actually try to change the European Union rather than just leaving it?

🚨GERMANY WANTS TO WITHDRAW FROM THE 🇪🇺 EUROPEAN UNION! 🇩🇪 Germany’s RIGHT-WING party (AfD), the Alternative for Germany, is rapidly gaining popularity across the nation and wants to LEAVE the European Union if it secures a victory in the upcoming election.

Once again Brexit chaos.
Whilst you queue Farage gets £5 million and a private helicopter, after promising you 🫵 everything will get better…
Vote Rejoin 🇬🇧💙🇪🇺

@Eddystone506 It’s growing faster than comparable EU nations 😂

The UK CANNOT grow meaningfully while it's castrated by Brexit

@TedUrchin Yes, proud of him carrying on after he was exposed as a lying nonce apologist

I have so much admiration for Keir Starmer in the face of such continued onslaught by the media.
Quite simply, he doesn’t deserve it, and a pity that so many cannot see the wood for the trees, so to speak.
Inexorably, he is turning this country around, and that’s not something you do easily or overnight.
It’s been less than 2 years for fuck sakes.
We need to stick with him.
Now is ABSOLUTELY NOT the time for a change of Prime Minister.
End of.
