It's rather telling that Reform are dead set against letting 16 to 18 year olds vote. And just a reminder to 16 to 18 year olds that Labour have repeatedly said that they will not rejoin the EU, unlike Lib Dems, Greens, SNP, Plaid Cymru. It is a mystery what Zarah and Jelly will do.

Every single poll and survey shows a large majority regretting Brexit and/or wanting to rejoin. Every metric shows it to have caused significant damage in many areas, not just economic. In chasing dwindling Brexit supporters Labour are haemorrhaging its traditional base.

The net result of all the gnashing of teeth and screaming by the right wing media to the modest reset Starmer announced was predictable disinterest by the public at large. They are bored with Brexit, they want to see an end to it and the UK to rejoin with as little fuss as possible.

The hysteric reaction of the lunatic right to Starmer's limited EU reset and the general public's disinterest in their bleating and obvious desire for Starmer to get on with it and build closer links to the EU means Starmer needs to get on with Reset 2 pretty damn quick.

Brexit has been a nightmare for UK musicians! Restrictions on touring have dried up opportunities for all involved, from drivers and sound engineers to stage managers and artists. There has been a real failure to recognise the value of creatives. I hope today’s deal rectifies this mistake.

The day after an EU "reset" people will start to demand more. Better access to the Single Market, better and easier movement, reduction of red tape, the list goes on and will not be exhausted until we rejoin the EU as full and equal members.

Admirable though a reset might be. Once again we are seeing late night talks and rows. Brexit did not stop the rows and never will. It is a huge effort for marginal gains. Once this lot are over the next lot will start. Far better to put an end to it and rejoin

Fellow Rejoiners, we will need tactical voting in. 2029, but we don't want another Brexit Labour government. Our tactic in local and by-elections should be to vote for the LibDems and Greens to help put as many of their candidates in poll position for tactical voting in 2029.
