@martindvz No surprise. It’s only negotiations that slow things down. Brussels would move mountains for a UK which buys into the full federal project, beginning with the €Euro and Schengen. And they’d insist on this as a sign of faith. Problem for rejoiners is that most Brits are opposed.

@Femi_sorry Hurt us?
Who's this 'us'?
Rich people with trust funds like you, maybe.
441,000,000 EU citizens no longer have the right to live in the UK.
The EU citizenship that was imposed without consent has been removed.
Brexit was a 100% success.
English
1) Anyone using international comparisons as "proof" Brexit trade barriers haven't hurt us, is just stupid.
2) The same lot who said the UK was so great, 27 countries needed trade with us more than we needed 27... Now refuse to believe that without Brexit we could beat them all.

“Since the 2016 referendum, the UK has actually grown by almost 13pc in total, outpacing 12.5pc in France, 10.3pc in Italy and 6.3pc in Germany – all of which were in the EU last time I checked. For the UK to have displayed the “lost growth” associated with that notorious OBR Brexit assessment, it would have needed to outgrow the US over the last 10 years. ” Excerpt From “Opinion: The Brexit horror stories aren’t true” Liam Halligan The Telegraph apple.news/Aj7WNX13lQueaK… This material may be protected by copyright.

@dailybritainonx Brexit worked 100%.
441,000,000 EU citizens no longer have the right to live in the UK.
The EU citizenship that was imposed without consent has been removed.
Total success.

63% of Britons say they would now vote to rejoin the EU. Brexit has cost an estimated 6-8% of GDP. Net migration - one of the primary Brexit arguments - hit 944,000 in 2023 before falling to 171,000 under Labour, its lowest since 2012.
The government is already moving toward EU regulatory alignment.
A Question Time audience member: "We're papering over the cracks."
Should Britain rejoin the EU?

@EULondonMark You open-border fanatics are the reason the UK's out of the EU. It's your fault. All you had to do was compromise on that one issue & the Brexit vote would've been to Remain. But no, your globalist zealotry insisted on all or nothing. Well, here we are with nothing. Your fault.
English
Whether you think the EU's entry-exit system is a) a crucial tool for security and law enforcement and/or b) causing unnecessary delays for tourists...one fact is indisputable. If we returned to the EU single market, Brits would get free movement back and EES problems would end.

@greg_ashman There aren't any staff shortages.
The bosses of those sectors lie to govt in order to perpetuate the mass immigration that boosts their profits.
English
How can the UK simultaneously have a crisis of young people not in education or work *and* a shortage of staff in the health, care, construction and IT sectors?

After the Manchester 10k, campaigning in the hills of Hindley was a tough ask!
And my opponents are getting a little more desperate in what they are throwing at me.
But I won’t be deflected and am sticking to the game plan! 💪🏻

Dear Brexiters,
Whenever I point to the Brexit disaster, you use one of your 2016 reasons why Brexit SHOULD work...
E.g. Our trade deficit, service economy, global trade...
Too late! It's been 10yrs!
All our industries say it's hurt them. So none of your arguments were valid.
English
Black people are not inferior to any group of people.

@ukhomeoffice So you'll enforce the law that makes it a criminal offence to claim asylum in the UK without a passport, visa or ETA?
English
It is only by enforcing our laws that we can deliver an immigration system that works for the British people.
English
@itissecret8 Whenever you're ready.
There are 44 million of us and just 500,000 of you.
Bring your little knives to a gunfight.
We'll own you and laugh.

Then you will be banning Sikhi. That means Sikhs will immediately rebel because Sikhi teaches Sikhs that they HAVE TO resist their oppressors. It's a sin for us to NOT rebel.
That being said, if Britain does ban the Kirpan, then none of you will be able to tell Sikhs their war against the Indian regime to liberate Indian occupied Panjab is illegitimate.
If you won't let us be Sikhs in Britain, then we will be Sikhs in our ancestral lands where our Gurus walked through our villages, founded our cities and taught us sovereignty is paramount.

Tony the Geordie@djdegt
Yeah I accept all of that as accurate history. Empires sometimes make mistakes, this is one of ours, ending war and conflict in the area came at a cost. I accept all of this but none of this changes my original point. We can't have a situation that allows double standards in the law.
English
I stand with the Sikh community @SikhFedUK
Sikh Federation (UK)@SikhFedUK
The entire Sikh community has been "demonised" as one individual has broken the law and been found guilty of murder. The murder weapon was NOT a Kirpan (one of the 5 Ks), it has a different name that does not start with K, but the @CPSUK is refusing to share an image of the murder weapon with @BBCNews @SkyNews @PA @thetimes etc. after the case concluded last Thursday. It was incorrectly described as a Kirpan in court and media reporting. @Dabinderjit @SikhFedUK wrote to @ShabanaMahmood @LabourSJ @Nesil_Caliskan and hope Judge William Mousley KC makes this clear when sentencing on Monday or it will be a massive disservice to the Sikh community. Sensible politicians like @DavidDavisMP @aliciakearns that have made the mistake of calling for restrictions on the Kirpan based on this misinformation should distance themselves from @RupertLowe10 @RobertJenrick @ZiaYusufUK bbc.com/news/articles/…

@jimthegiant The BBC edited their footage of Orgreave to literally reverse the order of events.
Actually think about that: the BBC literally reversed the order of events.
They did it so that their broadcast supported Thatcher by matching police & govt lies.
Ignore that because...drama? No.

BBC has been key in developing and sharing British culture & talent for decades
Blue Planet II cost £15m to make, generated £1bn+, BBC created The Office, Doctor Who, Blackadder
BBC helped discover & push Ricky Gervais & Stephen Merchant, Rowan Atkinson, Idris Elba, Louis Theroux, Ed Sheeran, Stephen Fry, Olivia Colman, Helen Mirren, Judi Dench
Due to it being publicly owned it has been able to be an incubator of talent and take risks in a way often private networks could never
BBC has problems, but if you can't see the sum of BBCs contribution to British culture then you are insane
Rupert Lowe MP@RupertLowe10
The BBC have run a sneering attack piece insulting both myself and Elon Musk... A Restore Britain Government will defund the BBC, day one. Let's see who's laughing then.
English
@greg_ashman Because the claims of shortages were lies by businesses to bring in cheap foreign labour. And oversaturation of cheap foreign labour is why young people can’t get jobs.
English
@SamJRushworth @afneil You need to remigrate at least 20 million immigrants.
Then there'll be jobs for all that want them.
English
@afneil I'd be happy to discuss with you, or write more on this. It's difficult in a tweet.
I dispute your view it's got worse due to decisions of this government, but agree we've not yet done enough to turn it around and more radical action is needed on welfare, education, and health
English
Then please tell me two rather important matters omitted in your response:
1. Why is it getting worse under your watch (and projected to rise even further for the rest of the decade)?
2. What is the ‘fundamental change’ you propose?
Thank you.

I used to teach access courses at an FE college, supporting young people who had not passed their GCSEs. I have a better idea than you about this generation and what's behind the NEET crisis in Britain today.

@roaringwolf88 @Nickjames40Nick Absolutely. If a black lowlife raped them, they'd say it's not his fault because he was brutalised by white supremacy.
English
@LukeDempsey1099 @Nickjames40Nick It's worse, even if it does happen to them, they do mental gymnastics and blame themselves or society for the crime or act.
It was the racism or a misunderstanding that caused that stabbing or rape, not the existence of a bad person.

@TheRealJamieKay Millions must go.

Nasty Nige forgets it was his Brexit that created the small boats problem.
Now he wants to feast on it as an issue for votes.
It’s like the arsonist complaining about the heat from the flames.
We need quicker processing, support for genuine refugees, and a swift return for those who have no right to be here so that they can get on with their lives and we can focus support on those who need our help.
And that’s what this @UKLabour government is delivering.
