UK and EU agree draft deal to scrap Brexit red tape over food exports
The food deal, ahead of a UK-EU summit later this month, is the most significant part of the so-called Brexit reset agreed so far.

Brexit was sold as a path to less bureaucracy and more prosperity. Instead, many UK exporters now face extra paperwork, higher costs and more barriers to trade. Leaving the EU didn't remove red tape, it moved it to our borders. #BrexitReality #RejoinEU

The promise was taking back control. The reality is that the UK often follows many EU standards to trade with Europe while having less influence over how those standards are made. #BrexitReality

On the face of it, this looks like good news. Essentially, the UK will move from a Boris Johnson ‘hard’ #Brexit with a customs border in the Irish Sea to a Theresa May ‘dynamic alignment’ Brexit. But Brexit is still Brexit. #BrexitReality #RejoinEU www.bbc.com/news/article...

It’s time #NigelFarage was deposed and his party finally disintegrated. The polls are certainly moving in the right direction, and judging by the increasingly frantic reactions, his cult followers are none too happy about it. Long may that continue! #BrexitReality #BorisJohnson

Brexit supporters promised easier trade. In reality, the UK's goods exports were reduced by an estimated £27 billion (6.4%) in 2022 due to post-Brexit trade barriers. #BrexitReality

Yup. The UK was in THE most efficient system, EU's Internal Energy Market, until it Brexited itself out! All alternatives are less-efficient thus more costly. Herein lies Brexit's futility - the better-than-EU-Membership deal sold could NEVER exist. #ThereIsNoBrexitDividend #BrexitReality #RejoinEU

Brexit will boost the economy’ was the central promise. Reality the OBR estimates Brexit will reduce long-run UK productivity by ~4% and cut trade volumes by ~15% versus remaining in the EU. The economic dividend never arrived. #BrexitReality

Some basic Red Wall facts for @melanieonnmp.bsky.social to consider.
Maybe she should think a little harder about the preferences of the constituents she's so concerned about giving a voice in parliament.

Really worth noting that even in Red Wall constituencies which backed Leave, most *Labour* voters back rejoining the EU. Over 90% of Labour considerers back rejoin - opposition to EU membership is mainly coming from non-Labour voters in these seats.
Was on Times Radio yesterday making this point.

🤩 This is a significant moment.
Burnham says openly that Brexit has weakened 🇬🇧 economy, failed to deliver promised control over immigration and produced a harder Brexit than many people were led to expect in 2016.
On rejoin EU:
“I would like to see that happen in my lifetime.”

Brexit wasn't a temporary shock.
According to recent economic research, the costs accumulated over time as uncertainty, lower investment, supply chain disruption and trade frictions gradually dragged down growth. #BrexitReality

A stronger Europe generally increases the ability of democratic nations to resist pressure from authoritarian states.
A more fragmented Europe does the opposite. That is why many analysts argue Brexit indirectly advanced the interests of countries that prefer a weaker European bloc.

Brexit promise: "Brexit will boost the economy."
Reality: The OBR estimates Brexit will leave UK productivity around 4% lower long term than if we had stayed in the EU, with both imports and exports around 15% lower. #BrexitReality

Andy Burnham confirms what previous PM's - May, Johnson, Truss, Sunak and Starmer - failed to, that Russia interfered in the Brexit referendum.
October 11, 2026 at 2:55 PM
The Times from ten years ago this week.
They were wrong.
In fact Brexit is costing the UK economy roughly £100 billion a year.

Everybody knew Russia interfered in the Brexit referendum - the evidence was there - but people were too afraid of Farage’s mob to say it. So it’s good to see Burnham finally speaking the truth.

The prime minister has revealed UK authorities told him there was ‘clear evidence’ that Moscow meddled in the referendum
