Brexit Bin 🇪🇺 🇬🇧 🇩🇪 @brexitbin.bsky.social · 16h

It'll soon be 10 years since the Brexit ref. So much has changed since then. If Brexit is the cause of our economic problems, as the government now admits, then surely we need to ask ourselves whether we want to carry on down the Brexit road or turn around and head back to the Single Market and EU.

Public servants serve the community not the other way around. It's not a difficult concept to grasp.

Wouldn’t it be delicious if we rejoined the EU at the same time that Ukraine joins?

So that instead of breaking a country away from the EU, in the end, Russia only succeeded in making it even stronger.

We’d have to contribute to the EU budget (which would be a tiny portion of our overall spend, and worth every penny), which would reduce amount the other major Gov’ts have to pay, or make more money available to the net recipients.

Of course they would have us back, and it can’t come soon enough.

“Would the EU have us back?
This is the most-asked question about rejoining the EU…pessimism is unwarranted…whenever an EU leader is asked this question, they answer that they hope the UK will someday rejoin.”

So if Russ Vought and Bob Kennedy were deliberately trying on behalf of an enemy to sicken and kill Americans by destroying the public health structure - what would they be doing differently?

How to...
...resist an authoritarian takeover.

Many ask: What can we do? And as we see in real-time, in America, encouragingly, there isn't just one answer. There are many ways to resist. I have collected a few. Be inspired. 🧵

…But by far their worse act was the Great British Brexit Con Trick, as a result of which the present Government has £40BILLION+ less available to it every year than had we stayed in. That’s a vast sum. The impact of that loss is behind Reeves’ tax increases and is being felt everywhere, every day.

Do not ever forget that the problems this country still face are down to 14yrs of neglect from the Tories.
14yrs of lying in your face.
14yrs of law breaking and diverting public funds to rich donors.
14yrs of undermining decency and respect.
Need I go on? I could but surely you see who fckd us over

🇬🇧🇺🇦 The UK has delivered hundreds of air defense missiles to Ukraine five months ahead of schedule, according to an official government statement. Additionally, Ukraine’s largest drone manufacturer has invested £200 million in drone production in the UK, creating 500 new jobs.

We need help to protect our civilians from blackouts, cold and darkness, and a new wave of refugees to the EU.

Right now, there are two very important areas that Ukraine needs help with:

The scale of the threat is unprecedented, and no European country could handle such massive, combined missile-and-drone attacks on its own.

Defending Ukraine’s skies is entirely possible if Ukraine and our allies act in unified planning and coordination.

The only descriptions of Jenrick and the Tory party you’ll ever need….
What a dismal way for a party to die.

Jenrick is a far more pernicious figure than Nigel Farage. For a start, Farage does not go as far as Jenrick. He remembers - from the old days, when fascism was frowned on rather than celebrated - how dangerous explicit talk of race is. More importantly, Farage is seen by the public as someone operating on the edge of the political spectrum. But Jenrick has none of these restraints. He is perfectly happy racialising our discourse. And he operates in the mainstream right, contaminating British society from the height of the orthodoxy.

This is the underlying issue, the substrata underneath Badenoch and Jenrick. It's not
just that they are pathetic and empty and cowardly and immoral and petty and useless and inept. It's actually somehow worse than that. It is that the entire British conservative project is dying. It is hollow. It has no ideas and those it does have are undermined by the very policies it puts forward. It has no principles and those it retains are made into a mockery by the statements it allows to go unchallenged. It has nothing to offer, but a haunted terror at the sight of Farage and an unrequited love-song at the sight of Trump.

I certainly hope to avoid the former. Decent Brits need to do all we can to avoid that dystopia. Things are bad enough with the few MPs he already has.

We’re on the same side regarding inequality and the ultra rich. It has become obscene. But blame for UK inequality lies primary with our Governments and right-wing dominated media. The EU had no direct tax raising powers over the UK population. Other EU nations have much better equality than the UK.

Hang Brexit round Farage‘s neck like the Albatross round the neck of the Ancient Mariner - a curse to carry for the rest of his days. A constant reminder of his treachery.

The same goes for Johnson.

There are signs all over the place stating that regeneration was funded through the EU
Stoke voted unanimously to leave
A colleague voted for Brexit as Tim Martin had said he would knock 5p off a pint
A friend voted to leave "for a laugh"

Suggest you look up how much deprived UK areas received from the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) & the European Social Fund (ESF), then compare with amounts Tories actually spent under their “levelling up” programme. EU has a much smaller budget than the UK Government, but invested more.
