Survey finds two-thirds of EU citizens back UK rejoining bloc
Sadiq Khan: ‘Brexit has cost Britain billions. It’s imperative we rejoin the EU’ Polls show that the number of people in favour of rejoining the European Union is growing. The mayor of London sees no sense in delaying the inevitable observer.co.uk/news/opinion...
As Khan says, we can rejoin the Single Market as the next step towards rejoining the whole EU. No one with any common sense should have a problem with that.
Get that man in office.
We have already waited for too long. Ten years of lost opportunities for young people who were born Europeans. Citizens being stripped of their citizenship is rarely taken so casually. Stripping convicted terrorists of their citizenship caused more of an uproar.
U.S interfering is having an effect on the uneducated. We must resist being Americanised, which is where Blair led us and arguably Starmer. Ultimately it was Brexit that made us weak, with Cameron being the useful idiot that instigated it. Trump is taking advantage.
Just fucking rejoin the EU and abolish Reform UK Nigel Farage deserves to be executed for his treasonous behaviour
Threads like this always knock me sideways. Imperative? Inevitable? Don't people realise the UK has no right to join? That the final decision will be for the EU? And that it's a real decision, not a foregone conclusion? The sense of entitlement and arrogant disrespect for the EU is breathtaking.
Labour will continue to ignore the sensible majority in order to appease a minority of racist, wife-beating thugs who get their "opinions" from Russian Telegram channels.
Starmer behaves like the cat in Shakespeare‘s Macbeth which wants to catch the fish but not wet its paws. Which means, he wants a closer relationship with the EU but not accept the entry into the CU or the SM! An wavering PM!
I know for a fact it's cost me over £5000 in Animal Health Certificates to take two dogs to france a few times every year and still no sign of the promised reinstatement of the UK pet passport.
57% of Britons believe the UK was wrong to vote to leave the EU, and 55% want to rejoin... unless the UK can’t keep it’s previous opt-outs yougov.com/en-gb/articl...
If we seriously tried to rejoin the EU right now the right wing propaganda machine would go into overdrive.
Well, I'm fairly sure the Mayor of London has a better grasp of European economics, cross-Channel business and international cooperation than the circus in No. 10, still banging on about red lines, reindustrialisation and nationalisation as if they're unveiling some grand new idea. 😏
Well make sure Burnham knows that
The EU cannot ever trust the British though.
When you needed Khan but got Burnham
I guess we can take some satisfaction in the fact that his Brexit gambit may have destroyed the country, but at least it destroyed him too. From PM to middle-influence X account, with no prospects, trawling for engagement.
Johnson was responsible for 10s of thousands of deaths. He missed 6 (I think) Cobra meetings to sort out his divorce & we all know what he did in lockdown. Starmer is as dutiful as Johnson was idle & both hit the rocks. Is there some parallel or lesson in mythology for these 2, Alex?
He just wants to keep his £1 million a year job as a Daily Mail hack. So he gives them what the bosses want, ie anti EU, pro Brexit nonsense.
You’d think he’d have gone to Trumpland.
Shame he made himself so much money, but as far as politics & credibility go, he's finished.
If not for this Russian-backed act of treachery, the Shag Yeti should be in prison for his negligent mishandling of COVID-19.
Ultimately it destroyed him to a certain extent but it also gave him what he always wanted which was to be PM which he was entirely unsuited for. He also seems to have done very well financially out of it all. There was a lot of upside for him.
Still waiting for his imprisonment for criminal negligence and malfeasance in public office So important to have something to look forward to
He is an idiot who should have been anywhere near government. Unfortunately some idiots now expect all PMs to have what they think is “charisma” but in reality is an over inflated sense of self importance/superiority. He has a lot to answer for🤬
Why isn’t he in jail though
This useless tosser didnt even believe in Brexit, he thought he'd never win the referendum and he only used it to try and gain favour with the Tories Eurosceptic wing. Him and and that snake Gove.
He should be in prison.
Starmer should vote to release the full interference report and end FPTP as a parting gift
Boris Johnson was/is the biggest indictment against this country. We knowing elected a known liar and fraud.
I would pay good money for that bus to reverse over the fat oaf
Well I scrolled down and down and down over on X and couldn’t see 1 voice of agreement 🤷♂️
BoZo comes out of a fridge to say, what! Back in the freezer Bodger 👋🏻
The man will grift millions from gullible rich twats until the day he dies. As long as he's making money, he won't give a fuck what he's doing for it.
But he's also enriched himself considerably & still has his punditry, & I think he's content to go back to being mostly comic relief under those circumstances.
Not enough destruction for the binbag of racist blancmange. We can do better.
What really irritates me is that he's made a shed load of money since he was ignominiosly booted out.
Johnson epitomises the loser. A mediocre man in every way.
It is the only real Brexit benefit, shame it hasn't yet destroyed the Tory Party too.
FUCK OFF YOU FAT CUNT
Burnham’s speech when he won the by-election said he wanted Makerfield to become synonymous with a change in UK politics… Perhaps Makerfield / 10th anniversary of Brexit will mark the moment when leading UK politicians are finally honest with voters and admit that Brexit is a disaster for the UK?
Don’t forget, he played a pivotal role in destroying the Tory party, too.
He still thinks he's going to make a triumphant return for his finest hour when England's need is greatest 😐
Pushed Putin sponsored disinformation to fool the working class while the $billionaires continued their theft.
middle-influence X account = 99.9% bots
He took money from JCB to sign off HS2 and a deferred payment scheme through the Telegraph to push Brexit. No different to the corrupt Farage but both have a much easier time of it than Starmer.
Cough, cough ... well actually it was Chris Pincher, and partygate and generally being a sleazeball that ended Johnson's tenure in Downing St. Interestingly nobody (other than us hardcore Europhiles) was calling for him to resign because Brexit was a failure.
So many tombstones to drag Big Dog down. He is trying to cleanse but... Cold War Steve helps us with his artwork based on this photo...
He chose what he thought was best for Boris and he got that wrong too.
Even the photo of him doesn’t provide proper context - that’s from the 2019 General Election.
Why would they have to be “out of their tiny minds to campaign to rejoin the EU”, Johnson? Because it would mean holding you to account for all the lies you told and the damage you’ve done? Yes. I think that’s it, isn’t it, you absolute piece of shit.
Don’t hold back, say what you really mean! 😆 Anyway he’s toxic is Johnson, he probs doesn’t even write this bs, some Daily Fail lackey slaves away on minimum wage and he scoops up the ££.
It must be embarrassing for a narcissist like Johnson to realise that his signature contribution to his country was to make it poorer and more divided. Therefore he persists in his signature behaviour, which is to lie.
The dangerously evil bastard who was responsible for 23,000 excess Covid deaths? Yeah he should probably shut the f*ck up. www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...
His 'tiny mind' had no idea what to do after the Brexit referendum!
I ended a friendship over this. An arrogance of refusing to acknowledge the terrible consequences of his decision to vote leave. A Winchester College boy. Born 3 nil up as the saying goes. You can get the measure of a man who can’t admit their wrong
Boris Johnson is just lying, he doesn't need any reasoning. He'll just boast about how covid triumphs were over Brexit, and say how Britain has really proved how great it is, even though things have just got much worse over the last decade.
That absolute bastard will NEVER be forgiven 😡
Johnson knows all about tiny minds.
Absolutely, and identify all the foreign money that encouraged Johnson’s treachery.
As every day passes we’re all poorer outside the EU. Most Britons are now pro EU. Burnham’s top priority should be to map out with the EU, a democratic pathway giving Britain the option to rejoin. No more dithering! It’s crucial to our prosperity and security. #RejoinEU Today’s Observer:
And we want you back, dear Brits. Waiting for you to come home 🇬🇧💓🇪🇺 Together, we're strong.
I think, even more than mapping out the path with the EU, he needs to be absolutely 100% explicit to the British public exactly why that is in the national interest and why it is his government's policy. No prevarication. No obfuscation. Full public commitment.
…and if he chooses *not* to make it his top priority to give us that democratic choice to rejoin the EU, then Burnham owes it to every Briton to set out how he can deliver *even better* prosper and security through some other strategy. The vacuum of strategy we’ve seen since 2024 can’t go on.
Burnham has already said he won't.
We gave it a go. It was shit. Can we go back in now please.
Even EX Tori MP has said that breaks it is a total disaster this is a Tory MP the same people who brought it up, does that not say something
He has told us that rejoining the EU is not on the cards. That disqualifies him immediately. He, essentially, will continue Starmer's destruction. No taxing of the rich, no rejoin for starters. No thanks.
www.theguardian.com/politics/202... Sane UK parties must act. I’m sick of hearing: - “Brexit wasn’t implemented properly”. It was! - “The “people” chose”. A small majority TEN years ago. Brexit won before the US elected a maniac as President! Time to rejoin the EU, to hell with the far right.
How do you think Scotland feels when more than2/3 voted remain?
Reform - the millstone around Britain's neck
Brexit was and still is an economic disaster. Make Brexit work suggestions 1. Brexity folk to donate 5K a year to their local CC 2. Brexity folk do not holiday within the EU 3. Brexity folk give up their weekends to patrol the South Coast
You should try being Scottish, trying to get your colonial overseers to ‘allow’ another independence referendum.
For all those who voted Reform in the North East, just remember what they did to your area! www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
Then theres this ⬇️ .... #Epstein to #Thiel .... Bannon-Farage-Johnson Mandleson-McSweeny ....To collapse the UK ....
In other news I’ve met 4 people this weekend who were ardent Brexit voters & all 60s & early 70s. All 4 now feel enormous regret & want us to go back in. But most of all they feel embarrassed that they fell for all the lies & the con. It’s only 4 but I bet this is going on all over the UK. #Rejoin
I am speaking for all those in their 60s & 70s who did not vote for Brexit & wouldn’t even have considered voting for Brexit. Also not a monarchist or a Tory. Some of us are capable of independent thought & resent being lumped with a group of uninformed voters.
I'm not sure I can forgive them. I haven't forgiven my own brother yet.
I hope so - just heard Ali Miraj on @lbc saying it will never happen as Makerfield constituents wd feel betrayed! He’s such a RW gaslighting stooge!
Amongst friends/work colleagues, mostly in their 40s, there were 6 who'd happily voted brexit. One of them had spent 3yrs travelling/living in France with her children ten yrs earlier, had a great time. I was shocked when she told me she'd voted brexit. One nursing colleague had a house in France.
I’ve seen a similar trend in my Brexit-voting relatives. A gradual migration from gloating, to silence, to tacit acceptance that it was an error, and quite recently, acknowledging they were conned and feeling embarrassed.
I’m sure you are right. Even those who swallowed all the hype now know they are worse off and we are vulnerable.
I was angry with these people for believing the lies, never felt that way about anyone else who was scammed? I’m not sure that anger serves any purpose now, and it might even act as a barrier to those who might otherwise tell their story. Their change of heart can be more persuasive than a rejoiner.
I hope you told them they should own it
I’m nearly 70 and I voted remain as did many of my friends. And my then 90 year old Dad phoned us all up and asked which way the family wanted him to vote as it would affect the grand and great grandchildren most. We all said Remain. It’s not the age group , it’s the mindset that votes.
Don't listen to the doom-mongers. The EU, & its citizens, would welcome us back, & it doesnt have to take another decade. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...
The trouble with the term *rejoining* is that it suggests re-entering at the point of leaving, as in *hi folks, we’re back, we were just having a little break*. Not a convincing basis for a new relationship.
Saw your pics from yesterday! So sorry i couldn’t come!
Agreed. Just spent 4 weeks touring Belgian, Luxembourg and France. No one expects us to stay out. Everyone I speak to thinks it brought EU together stronger as they see how much harm it did. We will be back.
👍Absolutely they would Sue. When ever I have gone to France the locals all say they hope the UK return, it's practical common sense to them. #RejoinEU asap...
