Wake up, Keir Starmer We've had enough of this shitshow. Don't forget that, in part, you owe your General Election win to the millions of proEU voters who thought you might do something about this. We are losing patience with you and your inertia. Be warned.

It is sort of amazing that over half the country wants to rejoin the EU and have another referendum on it in the next five years, but no major party is openly advocating for that to happen. Huge gap for someone to fill.

Anyone else sickened by the insanity of UK media covering days of the Labour conference..without a single mention that Brexit's £400bn GDP hit overshadows EVERY other policy?

FFS! It's not the Brexit DEAL that doesn't work, Rachel. It's BREXIT ITSELF! And staying out of the Single Market and Customs Union because of your idiotic red lines won't solve ANYTHING. #RejoinEU 🇬🇧🇪🇺

The problem Labour has is that it's trying to solve an impossible puzzle: how do you get the economy to grow, so you can raise spending and cut tax, without the EU? There is no workable answer. They have to grasp the nettle on Europe or continue sliding slowly down the pan.

Unless Keir Starmer #RejoinEU is part of this plan, the UK will continue to diminish. Your stubborn refusal to face reality is a dereliction of leadership. Econ demands it. Majority of people want it. There was never Maj for Brexit.

Why is FOM a 'red line'? This is what we want in our own corner of the world: FOM! "Starmer vows to turn page on UK’s relationship with the EU | Politics | The Guardian theguardian.com/politics/2024/…

After the 2019 election I wrote to a friend: 'consider that 16.5 million voted for candidates of Remain parties and 14.8 million for candidates of Leave parties, the fraud that is FPTP hits you between the eyes like a mallet.' Brexit wouldn't have happened with PR in 2019.

Some good things in the budget. But - a v big But -: Brexit has: - Shrunk the UK economy by £140 billion - Reduced imports and exports by 15% - Decreased productivity  - Is predicted to cost 3m jobs by 2035. So: no matter how much lipstick you put on the pig, it's still a pig.

Jimmy Raskin, a US Congressman yesterday called my MP a "Putin loving free speech imposter & Trump sycophant" I can't criticise the Congressman because I agree with him! I'd email my MP to ask why he's in the US not representing me in Parliament today but he's never answered me.

There is a class war going on right now in the UK. The Farages the Badenochs the billionaires and the media oligarchs are trying to convince the working class that the problem is small boats. But the problem is the Farages the Badenochs the billionaires and the media oligarchs.

Why is more not made of the fact that UK chose to give up **85%** of its (wholly reciprocal trading barriers free) *internal* market when it left the EU? Its internal market is now smaller that UK itself for GB goods sales & it is **never** going to offset this 85% loss elsewhere
