How much more popular must rejoining become before government take note? www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...
independent.co.uk
All but four constituencies would support reversing Brexit and rejoining the EU
New in-depth polling finds 35 per cent of voters would choose EU membership as their preferred policy option – with just 11 per cent wanting looser ties with the bloc

They told us Brexit would save lots of money (that would all go to the NHS). In fact it’s costing us a fortune (and constraining our ability to fund everything).

Why it's perfectly normal to see baby puffins thrown off cliffs in Iceland each year
Throwing thousands of baby puffins off a cliff is a yearly tradition for the people of Iceland's Westman Islands. It's part of what's known as "puffling season" and is a crucial life-saving endeavor.

Ultimately, our shared interests and responsibilities are far better served within the EU than without it. Prosperity, opportunity, defence, climate change, migration…are all issues better tackled together than constantly knocking on the door, asking to be let in. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...
Brexit
Labour seeking 'deeper relationship' with EU under Burnham, new minister says
Exclusive: Hamish Falconer wants 'sense of renewed pace' in post-Brexit talks while staying within Labour's red lines Falconer said he wanted to apply Burnham's
"Makerfield test" to the EU negotiations, ensuring they would deliver tangible change to ordinary people struggling with the cost of living, including in his own very heavily leave-voting constituency.
But he said he would continuously emphasise principles of "European solidarity", which he said went beyond trade and were backed by shared values, including on defence and security and on how countries could tackle growing dangers such as wildfires caused by the climate crisis.

“Brexit betrayal” - oh for god’s sake.. Every day, we’re paying to be poorer. We’re paying to be second class citizens on our own continent. We’re paying to queue. We’re paying for more red tape. We’re paying to be less secure and less trusted. Brexit IS the betrayal. And so is defending it.

Denmark didn’t “transition” its grid—it replaced it. ~15% → 92% renewable electricity in 25 years. Wind did the heavy lifting. Solar is scaling. Interconnection balanced. Flexibility solved variability. Wind built it. Solar is scaling. Fossil lost it. This IS system replacement. ⚡#Bettrification
