📊 The 2016 Brexit electorate no longer exists.
Peter Kellner has updated the sums using YouGov and ONS data.
Since 2016:
🔹 Around 3.8m Leave voters have died, against 2.1m Remain voters.
🔹 Around 7m new voters have reached voting age, overwhelmingly pro-European.
🔹 Around 5m voters have changed their minds 👉roughly three-quarters of them moving from Leave to Rejoin.
His estimate of how Britain would vote now:
🇪🇺 REJOIN: 20.0m 👉 63%
🇬🇧 STAY OUT: 11.8m 👉 37%
A majority of almost 9 million.
Brexit happened. Britain has lived with it for a decade.
But democracy does not freeze the electorate in 2016 forever.
The question is what Britain wants now not what it indicated in 2016.
A Liverpool fan caught Phil Thompson's attention and passed him a small container holding his late dad's ashes, asking if he'd scatter them on the Anfield pitch. He didn't hesitate. ❤️
Proper class. That's a moment the family will never forget.

Andy Burnham confirms what previous PM's - May, Johnson, Truss, Sunak and Starmer - failed to, that Russia interfered in the Brexit referendum.
My view: Andy Burnham says that, when he entered Downing Street, he asked whether Russia had interfered in the Brexit referendum and was told: “Clearly.”
For years, May, Johnson, Truss, Sunak and Starmer had the power to confront the truth about how Brexit was won and what it was doing to Britain. Instead, they protected the political settlement that had elevated some of them, and treated Brexit as a prize to defend rather than a disaster to honestly reassess.
They put their careers and party calculations ahead of the country. Britain was left poorer, more isolated and divided, while Putin’s ambition to weaken Europe was served.
Why are we still carrying on with that vision? Britain should be working with our neighbours to rebuild trust, strengthen cooperation and unite Europe against the threats we face—not continuing to deliver the outcome Putin wanted.
It's time to #RejoinEU
Apparently Russian servers have been hit by a Ukrainian strike and immediately massive online hard right chatter has collapsed.
This particular chatter was in support of Germany’s AFD, their equivalent to Reform, but similar patterns are being seen in hard right movements everywhere, including the UK.
If anyone needed anymore evidence that Russia are driving a massive wave of hard right propaganda in Europe, this is it.
So, all you “patriots” - you’ve been duped by Russia, and you are about as far from patriotic as anyone can be. You are easily brainwashed though. This is how propaganda works.
A Letter From Tomorrow
Dear Human,
Thank you for your continued interest in my arrival. Unfortunately, I cannot guarantee that we will meet. May I suggest you make the most of my colleague, Today?
Yours, provisionally,
Tomorrow
Utter disgrace. Trump has profoundly betrayed Ukraine and shown clearly whose side he's on. The reason fuel prices are soaring in the US (and here) is Trump's own decision to attack Iran. We are paying the price for this vain, incompetent President.
Live-streamed executions.
Rampant corruption.
Attacks on journalists.
Government propaganda.
MAGA might be fine with us turning into North Korea or Saudi Arabia. I’m not. This disgusting and un-American plan must be stopped.
