56% say Brexit was a mistake.

Only 31% think it was right.

“The tide is turning.”

The numbers are clear. Most Britons now believe leaving Europe was a mistake. The next generation knows our future lies in cooperation, not isolation.

From Sunday, travelling into Europe gets tougher for Brits.

New EU border rules mean fingerprint scans, photo registration and longer queues.

This is the real-world cost of Brexit - more hassle, more red tape, more delays.

Gary Neville is right that Britain once took pride in its mix of people, united by purpose not hate, but Brexit and those who profit from division have broken that spirit, and rebuilding it must begin with decency, solidarity and the will to stand together again.

Dominic Grieve is right. Leaving the European Convention on Human Rights would be a reckless act of self-harm, breaking security ties, breaching international law, and weakening Britain’s standing while doing nothing to solve the problems this government pretends to fix.

From January 2026, UK businesses face an £800m hit from new EU carbon rules, with costs likely passed to consumers.

The solution is simple: align UK carbon rules with the EU to cut Brexit red tape, protect businesses and stop higher prices.

The government must act now.

Sewage was dumped into the Mersey 1,900 times in 2024. Since leaving the EU, the UK has slipped on water and air standards while Europe pushes ahead with tougher protections.

Channel Island fishers are losing thousands as post-Brexit red tape blocks exports at French ports. One Jersey fisherman lost nearly £10,000 over a typo. The industry is now calling for the issue to be pushed to the EU Commission.

Leaving the European Convention on Human Rights would be an act of self-sabotage, not independence, because the convention was forged from British ideals of justice and human dignity, written by our own lawyers in the ruins of war, to ensure that tyranny could never again take hold in Europe.
