I agree entirely with what this chap from the Rejoin EU Party has to say for himself.

RT by @Brendandonn: When democratic politicians seek the support of a tranche of voters, they do not usually treat them with manifest contempt. Sunak’s belief that non-Conservative voters can be won over with petty and vindictive xenophobia shows just such contempt for his potential voters.

RT by @Brendandonn: We are told that the British government is considering today major military action in the Middle East. The Prime Minister takes time off however to boast about keeping families apart. We have sunk a long way.

UKIP liked to claim that the main parties did not reflect the views of the electorate on Europe. That is now true, but not in the way UKIP meant. Something has got to give in British politics. Rejoining the EU cannot be kept off the political table indefinitely.

The Express claims that Tim Martin’s new title is a “disaster for Remainers.” In reality his knighthood is designed to distract attention from the much bigger disaster for Brexiters of Brexit’s now widely recognised failure. The voters will not tolerate this failure indefinitely.

The British public now sees that Brexit will never work. But it is not yet sure of how to deal with this realisation. There is a historic opportunity opening up for politicians who say loudly and clearly that rejoining the EU is now by far the best option for our country.

Finally the U.K. sees that #Brexit is an ass 🫏

Polls like the Observer’s are important signposts on our journey back into the EU. Popular discontent at Brexit is now irreversible. But this discontent needs to be find a path of political expression. Our political leaders do not yet offer any such path. They will soon need to.

RT by @Brendandonn: For the EU the question of opt-outs will be an important issue if the UK applies to rejoin. If the UK tries to continue its practice of opting out from central EU policies that will set alarm bells ringing. The EU will not want the UK as a semidetached member that may reBrexit.

RT by @Brendandonn: Is there any difference between being “all over the place strategically” and having no strategy? If Sunak does have a strategy it is very much along the lines of the black cat in the darkened room that probably isn’t there anyway.

RT by @Brendandonn: I suppose, to be honest, I am mildly irked at Tim Martin’s knighthood. If my discomfiture makes readers of the Express less obstreperous as they contemplate the rapid dwindling of their hopes for Brexit, I am ready to take one for the team.

RT by @Brendandonn: Brexiters tended to expect that tougher border laws would be applied to other people, not to themselves. Indeed it was often pretty much what they meant by “taking back control.”

RT by @Brendandonn: It won’t be long before the 60% draw the obvious conclusion from their realisation that Brexit will never work. If we are to rejoin the EU,we will need leadership from committed politicians to make it happen. Silence about rejoining should no longer be a viable political option.

RT by @Brendandonn: British public opinion may indeed anyway evolve in a more pro-EU direction in coming years. But those wanting the UK to rejoin the EU must accept that rejoining will be without the panoply of opt-outs previously enjoyed. Good riddance. Opt-outs paved the way the way for Brexit.

RT by @Brendandonn: The cult of optouts reinforced the idea that the UK should be as little involved in the EU’s structures as possible. Brexit was the ultimate optout by the UK. It would make no sense for anybody to try to revert to the UK’s terms of membership before 2016.

RT by @Brendandonn: Those whom the gods wish to destroy they first make mad. Unfortunately the whole UK has suffered through Brexit collateral damage from the divine wrath against the Conservative Party. Brexit can and will be reversed. The madness of the Conservative Party is probably incurable.
