When we #RejoinEU - What Brexit benefit will you miss the most?

[Farrukh @implausibleblog]

2026: David Frost criticises Labour for believing the 'propaganda' that Brexit has shrunk GDP 4-8%

2015: David Frost says being in the EU has raised GDP 5-8%

My view:

David Frost is a striking example of ideology being put ahead of reality—and of how that can pay off in politics. His hard-Brexit stance helped propel him into the role of chief Brexit negotiator and, ultimately, a seat in the House of Lords.

In 2015, Frost argued that EU membership had lifted UK GDP by “five, six, seven, eight per cent” through the single market.

Now he dismisses as “propaganda” the claim that Brexit has cost the UK 4–8% of GDP.

The estimates aren’t identical: one concerns the benefit of single-market membership, the other the cost of leaving. But the contradiction is hard to miss. Frost once used a large GDP estimate to make the case for the EU; now, when estimates point to Brexit’s economic damage, he waves them away as propaganda.

That isn’t a serious engagement with the evidence. It’s an ideological position being defended at any cost.

And Frost is hardly alone. Too many politicians and public figures have chosen the career advantage of repeating a convenient line over the harder duty of telling the truth about what is best for the country.

When people are rewarded for helping to damage the nation they serve, that is a profound failure of democratic accountability.

Brexit voter in Makerfield tells Beth Rigby,

"Everything seemed better when we were in the European Union. Boris Johnson just convinced everyone that we would be so much better off, didn't he"

Another says he didn't make the right choice to vote for Brexit because Brexit ended,

"The freedom of movement, the freedom of travel"

My view:

Johnson helped sell Brexit as a painless route to prosperity, then chose a version that put new barriers between British firms and their biggest nearby market. When the trade-offs became unavoidable, he blamed others rather than own the consequences.

Farage helped turn grievance into a political movement, but campaigning for a rupture is easier than taking responsibility for its aftermath. He could claim victory, leave others to manage the fallout and return whenever there was another grievance to exploit.

That is the populist trick: make a complicated choice sound effortless, dismiss anyone describing the costs as an enemy, then blame someone else when those costs arrive.

The people who believed the promises deserve honesty now. The politicians who made them owe the country an accounting.

And if Brexit voters in Makerfield have changed their minds, they are far from alone.

YouGov’s latest polling found 59% support for rejoining the EU, against 32% opposed.

With Britain needing stronger growth and more opportunities, the case for restoring closer ties—and the freedom to live, work and study across Europe—is stronger than ever.

ITV: Reform UK might be fascists.

Reform UK: Arrest the journalists!

Oh piss off. From this veteran, grow a pair. Don't want to be exposed for being racist? Then don't be fucking racist.

I want to tell you about one of the people ITV psychologically damaged, who does not appear in any documentary.

He is a Reform member in Portsmouth.

He served as a Royal Marine in Afghanistan and Iraq, with distinction.

One of ITV's undercover reporters told him they shared the same military background.

That was a lie.

The Marine, believing him, took him for a drink. They spent hours talking about their 'shared' service.

He shared deeply personal stories from the front line.

He thought he was talking to a friend who had been through the same things.

He has since learned that the man across the table was an actor with a hidden camera, sent by a television company to damage the party he volunteers for.

Violated. That's the word he used, and I'm not going to soften it.

A man who put his life on the line for this country had his most private memories extracted by deception for a TV programme.

ITV should be ashamed.

George Monbiot explains why the UK should rejoin the EU,

"There's a reason why Russia tried to intervene in the Brexit vote, they knew that it would harm the UK and the EU if we left"

"They were very clear about that and boy have they been proved right"

"It has damaged our economic life, our social and cultural life"

"Wales alone has lost £1 billion net in regional and social funding which it would have received from the EU"

"And it has greatly weakened the opportunities particularly for young people, to work abroad, live abroad, to have the freedoms we had before"

"We could rejoin the Customs Union, or the Single Market, but if we did that alone we would be rule takers, we have to accept whatever the EU handed down because we would not be at the table negotiating and making decisions alongside other nations"

"As an audience member pointed out, yes the EU is changing. But that's not a reason not to rejoin, but that's a reason to be there in case it changes into a direction we don't like. We can help it be the kind of EU that we want it to be"

"I don't think there's any option but to rejoin fully"

My view: Brexit was sold as a way to take back control. In practice, it has often meant giving up influence over decisions that still affect us. Our businesses have to navigate rules shaped in Brussels, but Britain has no vote in setting them. That is not meaningful sovereignty; it is distance from the table.

Rejoining would give the UK a voice in the institutions where shared rules are debated and agreed. It would also restore a closer, more predictable relationship with our largest nearby market, making it easier for businesses to trade, invest and plan.

Those gains would not erase every problem facing the country, but they would remove barriers we chose to put in our own way.

The case is about more than trade. It is about making it easier for people to study, work and build lives across Europe; cooperating on research, energy, climate and security; and giving communities and regions access to shared opportunities.

These are practical freedoms and partnerships that matter in people’s everyday lives.

A halfway arrangement could reduce some friction, but it would leave Britain following many common rules without full representation in shaping them. If the UK wants influence over the direction of European cooperation, membership is the route that provides it.

Rejoining would not mean surrendering every national choice; it would mean choosing to make some decisions together, with a seat, a vote and the ability to argue for the outcome we want.

The question is not whether the EU is perfect. It is whether Britain is better placed to shape its future from within, alongside its neighbours, or to stand outside while decisions with consequences for us are made without us.

After the experience of Brexit, there is a strong case for choosing influence, cooperation and closer ties again.

And since Britain left, no other EU member state has followed it out. Instead, the Union has grown to 27 members, while 10 aspiring members are currently in the accession process.

That does not prove the EU is perfect or that membership suits every country. But it does show that countries see real value in joining: access to a huge shared market, stronger economic links and greater stability. European Commission

They are not signing up because the EU has no problems; they are choosing to take part in a shared project that can bring investment, opportunity and a stronger voice in decisions affecting their future.

If countries across Europe are working to join, Britain should ask why it chose to walk away, and whether standing outside has made us better placed to shape what comes next.

@darrengrimes Still using the exact same argument from a decade ago, that have all been endlessly proven to be bollocks.

Oh and extra bollocks on top.

@calmness258314 Are you actually serious? Are you THAT far down a hole? Don't know what google is?

[National Rejoin March @MarchForRejoin]

Rejoiners, time to stop being weak and letting the people who's destroyed everything keep calling the shots. It's time to start leading. Now! No slow 10 year project, step by step nonsense. Every day we are not in the EU, people and business in our country suffer.

Yes, we do. The real majority are back. 😉👌

[Matt Goodwin @GoodwinMJ]

Labour is clearly gearing up to re-join the European Union without asking the people, to turbo-charge immigration from Afghanistan & Gaza without asking the people, to dropping ID checks at elections without any serious scrutiny.

Do you see what’s happening?

[National Rejoin March @MarchForRejoin]

Comparing the UK to France or Germany as a way of pretending staying out the EU is a good idea, is utter nonsense... #RejoinEU

No. Britain should NOT re-join the European Union. It makes no economic or political sense. And would represent yet another almighty betrayal of the British people. Here's why ⬇️⬇️⬇️
