But can we not call it Brejoin?
“The door is open.”
Michel Barnier told Laura Kuenssberg that the choice about returning to the EU is the UK's to make. He also made the case for closer UK–EU cooperation now, arguing that in an unstable world, we’re stronger together.

It was a response to Mr Zacharzewski...both a UI and Brejoin will happen sometime in the 2040s, imo.

Why is Burnham talking about Britain rejoining the EU? Can Brejoin’s opponents - who include senior Labour figures, the Tory Party and perhaps France – stop Britain rejoining?

UK can rejoin EU without adopting Euro — but only on one condition, Barnier says - Freedom of Movement is "not negotiable".
Fine by me - in fact, its one of the main benefits as far as I'm concerned, so what are we waiting for?

I'd like British children to grow up thinking nothing of taking a job in Vienna, studying in Barcelona or starting a business in Copenhagen.
Not because they're particularly adventurous or wealthy.
But because it's perfectly ordinary.
That's a future worth campaigning for.

Dear god
“Brexit created a “mind-blowing” c.2billion extra pieces of paperwork for businesses~enough to wrap around the world 15 times.
Now, HMRC figures show UK traders’ costs topped £1.8bn in 2022 alone”
What a truly insane waste of everyone’s time and money

There is one small factor that might derail any efforts to Brejoin: the Parthenon Sculptures in the British Museum.
In all seriousness, any Greek government will veto the accession of the UK, unless the sculptures are returned. No amount of pressure, no threat or promises will

Indeed. Member state elections can also be won on conditions such as "UK can brejoin only without rebate and/or opt-outs".

Unsurprisingly, there's zero self-reflection about the development in the UK since they left.
As if there's no rise of far-right parties, no masked thugs on the streets, no deminished democratic rights etc.
My expectation that it'll take 2+ generations to brejoin if ever still stands.

All true Ian - but something more or less the same was said about reopening debate on the Corn Laws (a previous act of British self harm ) in the 1840s and if that’s the best they’ve got in 2026 Burnham should suggest self harm is fine for masochists but not for the majority of British people
Badenoch's attack on Burnham - that no-one wants to reopen the debate on Brexit - is disingenuous, stagnant and cynical. But it is also by far the most effective argument the anti-Europeans have and Burnham looked a bit unsettled by it.

Nobody is interested in discussing Brexit. We are interested in discussing joining the EU. If it needs a pithy title, then “Brejoin” will do.
