The new government wants to build a 'deeper and more ambitious relationship' with Europe. So we asked our movement what should come next? The majority say that the UK joining the single market would make them feel that the UK's relationship with Europe was moving in the right direction.

Lib Dems to urge Labour to drop ‘torpor and timidity’ on EU and rejoin single market
Exclusive: Ed Davey to make call ahead of 10th anniversary of Brexit vote, in strengthening of party’s position on EU The Lib Dems will urge Andy Burnham to end Labour’s “torpor and timidity” towards the EU as they call for the UK to rejoin the single market, in a notable strengthening of their own position. Ahead of the 10th anniversary of the Brexit vote next week, Ed Davey will challenge Burnham to scrap Labour’s red lines on the customs union and single market if he becomes prime minister and immediately begin talks on a more ambitious deal with the EU.

In the interest of balance (given the very high percentage of miserable, negative accounts on here), here's my takeaway. Shame about the somewhat misleading scoreline, but we just played in the knockout stages of the UCL. No shame to lose away at Barcelona. #RememberAshley #NotToMentionRefs #nufc

Refereeing again. Big Joe's been booked, fair enough, but now Tripps has been booked for the same type of foul and they've had at least two or three blatant equivalents that are 'just fouls', just like Yamal's blatant one last week which would've meant he wasn't there tonight. It's dodgy AF. #nufc

That Willock 'offside' instance should be the nail in the coffin of these current offside rules. Nobody is looking at the replay or the freeze frame and saying anything other than onside to the naked eye. It's never offside and your silly CGI image doesn't convince anyone to the contrary. #nufc

Brexit is the black hole. The latest estimate of the cost of Brexit is up to £240 billion, 8% of GDP. This is massive even compared to the amounts that will be raised in the budget today. If we scrapped Brexit, the government wouldn't be constantly struggling to balance the books.

The punditry on the non-penalty is absolutely woeful. Player made tackle, played ball, afterwards contact with player. Like every tackle in football which isn't a foul. Doesn't matter if it's a keeper or not. This shouldn't need to be explained by a random like me on socials. #nufc

Most people think leaving the EU was a mistake - but don't expect politicians to reopen the Brexit question
Five years on, even many of those who still champion Brexit, including Nigel Farage, concede that it has "failed" - so why are the main parties afraid to tell voters they got it wrong?
