It may take a long time to rejoin the EU.
It may also happen faster than the pessimists would have us believe. Only time will tell.
But one thing is certain: it will take longer if we don't try.
Every day we don't is one day longer we're out - and that's one day too many.
Leaving Erasmus was nothing but petty spite, putting up barriers between Europeans. 🚧
Staying out? That’s just idiotic and cowardly. 🤦♂️
Erasmus is a win for Britain—time to reclaim them! 🇪🇺✈️

Out of curiosity, I asked GPT4 to craft an emotional appeal to reverse Brexit. This is what it came up with.

Reuniting in a Shared Home - An Appeal for Reversing Brexit
Dear Friends and Fellow Citizens,
From the rolling green hills of the Scottish Highlands to the bustling streets of London, from the rugged coasts of Wales to the serene landscapes of Northern Ireland, we share a common heritage, rich in diversity and history. We've stood side by side through challenges that tested our resolve, our unity, and our very identity as Britons.
Brexit has been among the most significant decisions in our modern history—an expression of democratic will, a bid for sovereignty, and a step towards what was hoped to be a brighter, more independent future. Yet, as we navigate this new reality, we are increasingly confronted with the emotional and practical consequences of our departure from the European Union.
Our once-unified community stands divided, families and friends at odds over a decision that has rippled through every aspect of our lives. Economically, we face uncertainty in markets that were once familiar to us, in trade relationships that were once beneficial. Culturally, we've seen the fabric of our society strained, as valued citizens from across Europe, who have contributed so much to the UK, feel unwelcome on our shores.
But beyond these undeniable challenges, there lies a deeper, more poignant loss—the sense of separation from a community that we've been part of for generations. The European Union, for all its imperfections, was a family of nations to which we belonged, a project of peace and partnership born from the ashes of conflict. It was a testament to the belief that together, we are more than the sum of our parts.
The heart of our great nation has always been its people—people who have shown time and again that compassion, unity, and a shared vision for the future are the truest paths to prosperity. It's in this spirit that we must find the courage to ask ourselves: Is the path we're on truly reflecting the values we hold dear? Are we better off forging ahead alone, or could we find strength, as we have in the past, in the bonds of cooperation and mutual respect?
We must think of the legacy we wish to leave for the generations to come. Shall we be remembered for the bridges we burned, or the ones we built? For the isolation we sought, or the community we embraced?
Let us consider a new path forward, one that doesn't undo the past but learns from it—a path that seeks to heal divisions and re-forge connections. Let us envision a future where we can stand proud as Britons and as Europeans, championing the principles of unity, understanding, and respect on the world stage.
It's time to revisit the conversation about Brexit—not to question the validity of the democratic process, but to reflect on the kind of country we want to be. Let's open our hearts and minds to the possibility of a future that embraces unity as our strength, diversity as our wealth, and cooperation as the keystone of our shared prosperity.
Together, we can write a new chapter in our storied history—one of reconciliation, reconnection, and renewed hope. For ourselves, for Europe, for the world.
With hope and unity,
[A British Citizen]
So sad to hear that Paul Darling KC @BuildingSilk has died. His reputation in the field of construction law is immense. The very essence of charm. A huge loss to the profession, and what a shock to those close to him.
Starmer wrote in the Express that he will not restore Freedom of Movement.
Please retweet if you want our Freedom of Movement restored.
We were robbed of our right to live, work, study, and love in 30 countries by the worst abuses of democracy in modern British history.
@Anna_Soubry The trouble is that we are so used to the protections that the ECHR gives to all of us, that there is a danger of overlooking the huge advantages of membership, which the founders (many of whom were British lawyers) foresaw.
It seems amazing to me that we are having no political discussion whatsoever on how to reverse our obesity and health crisis that costs nearly £90 billion annually with simple measures like expanding the sugar tax or putting warnings on UPFs . Shows the power of the food lobby in the U.K. https://t.co/acmF5WhCBY
