Think of Brexit as a vote to eat all future meals at a new restaurant.
We've now been there. We've tried everything on the menu. We know the food is horrible.
Imagine holding a referendum on whether to keep eating its terrible food. That's a very different starting point from the last one in 2016.

David Davis famously said there would be no downsides to Brexit only considerable upsides - so we started recording them.

The Telegraph admits that Brexit has been a disaster a mere 9 years after the vote.

It’s clear to anyone paying attention that Farage won’t investigate the Russian infiltration of Reform.
The Prime Minister must step up and launch a national investigation.

The Russian involvement in Brexit needs to be fully exposed to the public.
An act of treason, pushed by Farage & many far right Tories, enabled by Cameron, Johnson & Gove.

Putin's biggest strategic objectives were to break up the EU and to disconnect the USA from Europe's defence. Brexit and Trump delivered him both objectives. European leaders now need to fight back. Putin has overreached himself and if Trump's big push on his side fails, Putin's regime will fall.

Robbie Gibb was appointed to the BBC Board by Boris Johnson, was an editorial advisor for GB News, and worked as Theresa May's Director of Comms.
He is not impartial or neutral. The government should remove him from the Board immediately to protect the BBC's independence.

If we're talking about bias, why do BBC politics programmes, from Politics Live to the Laura Kuennsberg Show, still always begin with a look at the newspaper front pages, which are overwhelmingly biased in one direction. Helps frame the entire news agenda and debate in their favour

So long as Labour hold firm on Brexit, all their bleating about having been dealt an atrocious hand by the Tories is so much hot air.
Support for "Make Brexit Works" holes that argument below the waterline.
It is ludicrous to be contemplating tax rises, but not trying to undo Brexit.

New Brexit economic impact report. It’s even worse than was predicted
