North Herts for Europe on B.Sky #FBPE 🇬🇧🇪🇺🇺🇦

Ah that #Brexit bonus

Now Britain knows the cost of Brexit, we can finally discuss it properly Editorial: The prime minister has called for an ‘honest conversation’ about EU membership – and his government is already in talks to allow Europeans to travel, live, study and work in the UK. It is a leap of faith that bodes well for closer alignment independent.co.uk/voices/edi…

We need to rejoin - retake - our place at the top table of Europe. We used to be one of the biggest and most influential members of the richest trading bloc in the world.

🔴 NEW The Conviction of Estonia’s ‘Lord Haw-Haw’ Links Russian Intelligence to Moscow’s Interference on Brexit By Sergei Cristo A 'diplomat' who launched the 'Conservative Friends of Russia' group has now been identified as a Russian intelligence officer involved in an attempted European disinformation campaign Subscribe to support fearless independent journalism. bylinetimes.com/2026/10/26/t…

You miss the actual most important fact that Europe has fragmented capital markets so if can’t compete with the US’s scale. This is something that the right is against, through Brexit. Expecting the UK with a $4.3 trillion gdp and 70 million population against the US with a 80 trillion stock market, 340 million population and $33 trillion GDP is crazy.

‼️ Britain has spent years desperately searching for a growth strategy while refusing to confront the enormous economic barrier we erected ourselves. Now the FT Economics Editor asks whether @andyburnham may finally be “stumbling towards a pro-growth policy that actually shifts the dial”. Reintegrating Britain with the European economy. Goldman Sachs estimates: Customs union: around +1% GDP Single Market: around +2–5% GDP The OBR estimates Brexit itself has reduced Britain’s potential productivity by 4%. And the really interesting part is that I nvestors are starting to sit up and pay attention. This is why the argument that reopening Britain’s relationship with Europe simply creates another “dust cloud of uncertainty” gets it backwards. Brexit created barriers, uncertainty and lost investment. Undoing Brexit is the biggest pro-growth reform available to Britain. Fixing Brexit may turn out to be Burnham’s growth strategy. 🇬🇧🇪🇺

"If Bwexit wuz so bad how comes we is growing faster than Germany, 'n France, 'n all the EU?" Hmm... let's check shall we? Oops! Actually our current growth is 20th out of 32. 1/3

🚨 This is HUGE. The Times reports that Britain is already holding talks with the EU about a potential return to freedom of movement and other options for much closer alignment. The options that will eventually be put to the British public are being discussed with Brussels now, to establish what both sides could agree. “The conversation is happening.” The 2024 red lines of no Single Market, no customs union, no freedom of movement only apply to this Parliament. What comes next is now being worked through. Burnham meets EU leaders on 20 November. He says he wants Britain to rejoin the EU in his lifetime. And tonight we learn officials are already discussing the possible routes with Brussels. This is no longer a hypothetical debate about whether Britain might one day change course. 🎉 The process of deciding how far Britain moves back towards Europe has finally begun. 🇬🇧🇪🇺
