There is no argument that could be made in good faith that Brexit was—or ever could be—good for the UK. There is also no good faith argument that Brexit’s cheerleaders are in it for the good of the country. It really is that simple.

For 14yrs, the Tories cratered our economy, added thousands to our cost of living, melted down public services and brexited us into decades of eye-watering expense and lost opportunity. That’s still their plan. With tax breaks for the super rich paid for by welfare cuts. So what TF is this headline?

The damage of Brexit isn’t purely economic. Even worse is the toxic division. Brexiters pretending it’s a good thing because shifting the country further right serves them. Everyone else being expected to keep quiet and pretend that’s not what’s happening. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/o...

Could the UK really rejoin the EU?

The big question facing Andy Burnham is not whether Brexit has harmed Britain, but if a rapidly changing Europe will keep the door open if the UK decides it wants back in

In short we need a centre right party. Not a Trumpist party. Which is Badenoch really offering?

Chris Dickenson @cpdickenson.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

We need a centre right party that’s standing against Trumpism and—unlike the Conservative Party from Cameron, through May, Johnson and Sunak—will try to win by honestly making its case rather than through the politics of scapegoating and distraction. Can’t see us getting that with Badenoch.

Badenoch has policies that will help the super rich & shift the country close to what Trump’s US is doing. Then she has polices that sound like they’re for ordinary people & designed to distract from the first kind. Nice of the Indy to spotlight the second kind www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

The new Brexit debate is sadly going to be just like the old one isn’t it? Leavers making economic arguments AND cultural ones (sovereignty etc.) Rejoiners sticking to economics and refusing to make the case that the UK would be better off as a progressive, open country than as aTrumpist hellscape.

And if they’d be brave enough to tell the truth—that Brexit was a massive con inflicted on the UK by charlatans to shift the country further to the right for their own gain—support for rejoining would only increase. They need to attack Farage et al. head on www.theguardian.com/world/2026/o...

This is what his opponents need to say in challenging his efforts to drag the UK in the same direction as the US under Trump. In the reopened Brexit debate the issue isn’t just about rejoining the EU—it never was!—it’s about whether the country should be lurching further and further to the right

The only reason Trump ran again was to put himself beyond the law. HIs side cried “lawfare” and said his opponents were playing the legal system for political ends. The truth is he was playing the political system to get away with criminality.

Is this all based on current voting intentions? If so it could be massively inaccurate. FPTP effectively forces a large part of the electorate to vote tactically. PR wouldn’t just make voting fairer it would also most likely dramatically impact who people vote for www.theguardian.com/politics/ng-...
