David Cameron says Britain should NOT rejoin the EU
The former prime minister warns Andy Burnham that starting a conversation about rejoining would be โvery long and painfulโ
Speaking in a Bloomberg interview, Cameron urges Burnham not to trigger another โdecade-long debate about whether should be in or out.โ He also says the UK should not enter a customs union with the EU
As the PM who led the Remain campaign in 2016, Cameronโs intervention will be seen as significant. He says Britainโs economic problems arenโt due to Brexit
โToday, instead of launching an argument about rejoining, which I think would be a very long and painful argument, and who knows where it would end up, instead of that, focus on how do we be the best friend, best neighbour, best partner,โ Cameron says
The former PM also warns Burnham that talking about Britain rejoining could hamper future negotiations
โIf you start endlessly producing this idea that weโre actually on a path to rejoining, I think youโre in danger of getting a less good partnership deal because of course the EU countries will just think: well, these guys are gonna rejoin anyway, so whatโs the point in giving them a good partnership dealโฆ If youโre not going to, you know, commit to trying to make the partnership stronger because youโre flirting with rejoining, I think thereโs some dangers there,โ Cameron says
โI donโt think actually necessarily joining a customs union is the right answer. If you look at the economic problems we have today, I donโt really think theyโve got anything to do with Brexit at all. I mean, our economic problems are we are overspending, over-borrowing, over-taxing, over-regulated, and far too much being spent on working age welfare. Those are a set of problems that have nothing to do with Brexit. We need a government that actually gets spending under control, gets taxes down, helps entrepreneurs, deals with our borrowing problem, reforms the welfare, and massively deregulates so we can build houses, build infrastructure. None of those have got anything to do with Europe. So thatโs sort of, in a way, thatโs my point. Do we really want to go into another decade-long debate about whether we should be in or out, when actually we should deal with our own problems while making the partnership model work?โ
โI fought the campaign to stay in on an amended basis, and I obviously wanted to win that campaign. I was desperately disappointed that we lost that campaign. But Iโm a democrat, a believer in democracy. We voted to leave, and I think the right thing now is to try and become, you know, not just neighbors, partners, and friends of the EU, but the best friends, the best neighbors, the best partners. And I think we can make that workโ

๐จ BREAKING: A federal judge just REJECTED the BBC's bid to throw out President Trump's defamation lawsuit over its doctored January 6 speech edit
The defamation case is going FORWARD โผ๏ธ
Judge Jeffrey Kuntz: "Those cases involved a news entity reporting on a story. Here, the news entity created the story."
"BBC admitted as much by confirming it had edited a video to make it appear as though President Trump made a statement he never made."
"And it acknowledged it chose to release the video in a documentary only a week before the 2024 Presidential Election, at the time it would have the most impact."
The judge found Trump plausibly alleged ACTUAL MALICE, the toughest standard in defamation law
"Trump's claims extend beyond negligence and plead a claim of recklessness. That is more than enough."
The BBC spliced together parts of a speech trying to make 47 sound like an insurrectionist. FAFO!
Make them pay for Trump's presidential center ๐คฃ
The right is growing - but itโs too split.
Parties of the right now total 51%. But Labour still most likely to win. Unless Reformers come back.
Reformers, donโt let Labour win ๐
