Should there be any remaining doubt as to what the Brexit project, and now the proposal that the UK leaves the ECHR, is all about, this must surely remove it.

Here we have Richard Tice MP, deputy leader of Reform, advocating the autocratic and horribly unequal UAE as a model for the UK to follow.

Sunder Katwala (sundersays) @sundersays.bsky.social · 1d

The UAE is an authoritarian autocracy, a petro-state with no income tax for citizens, to bribe them for the lack of democratic voice or free speech

It is 85% migrant, a segregated society with a ban on integration in principle and practice, few rights, equal opportunities, nor voice for incomers

Real world consequences come crashing into Brexit…remember Farage said that remaining in the EU would mean the death of the steel industry.

EU plan to match Trump steel tariffs spurs ‘existential threat’ to UK steel industry

Starmer says UK in discussions with EU over Brussels plan to double import tariff to 50%, which unions warn could kill UK steel industry

Orban and Farage – Putin's pet toad with his pet frog.

Farage says they are fighting for the nation state. Indeed, they are, they are fighting for Russia.

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

Gary Neville blames #Brexit for its “devastating effect” on the country, and said the “messaging” of division is becoming “extremely dangerous”.

He says we must stop promoting “all these idiots that are out there spreading hate …and become a team again”

The ECHR is the backbone of the #GoodFridayAgreement. It ensures human rights, equality, and a mutual respect across communities

These are the people getting huge tax cuts — paid for by cuts to health care for millions of Americans.

Every lie Trump and Republicans are telling right now is meant to distract you from this.

Brexit was a disaster – now Starmer dares to admit it

People say politicians missed the opportunities, or we had bad leadership, or the EU sabotaged us…

What matters now is that an anti-#Brexit consensus helps us repair the damage.

Polling by POLITICO shows the govt’s agri-food deal agreed in principle with Brussels is popular with Remainers and Leavers alike — even when they're told it means following EU rules.
63% back the deal vs just 22% who are opposed.
