Imagine writing for the Mail or the Telegraph, and, five years on, going through the checklist of promised and actual Brexit benefits.

[Ed Davey @EdwardJDavey]

The UK needs to lead in Europe again. We can't rely on Trump, and Labour hasn't shown the urgency or ambition to fix our relationship with our closest neighbours.

A UK-EU customs union is the first step repairing that relationship.

5 years ago Britain left the EU. Red tape would be scrapped. Immigration slashed. NHS spending boom. International trade burgeon. The economy would thrive. Europe would be as open to us as ever. All not only lies but the opposite happened. Yet there has been no accountability.

When even the majority of Leave voters would willingly accept FOM in order to access the single market - not to mention the vast majority of Remain voters - then surely it's time for a government 'reset'.

[Joshua Silver @eyejosh]

It will be absolutely obvious even to a child that the UK must rejoin the EU,and do that as fast as possible , in order to repair the vast economic, social and other damage done by Brexit. Starmer & co holding on to their “red lines” now is just delusional. Do repost if you agree

Donald Trump's victory is a crushing defeat for the "global elite", says Trump-supporting Old Etonian, international hedge fund millionaire, and member of the landed gentry, Jacob Rees-Mogg

[Liz Webster @LizWebsterSBF]

It’s time for @Keir_Starmer to be honest with the country about the fact the Brexit red lines are self defeating.

Britain won’t get investment and growth back until we repair the Brexit rupture which is destroying trade.

'No appetite'? This is such a weasel argument. There is huge appetite - and rationality itself is screaming at us to stop this nonsense.

[Dominic Grieve @dominicgrieve_]

I now want to look in more detail at Jenrick's nasty propaganda video.
It starts with a few examples of cases to make people angry. But those examples are in fact irrelevant to the case he is trying to make.

Jenrick has been an Immigration minister. He must know that the main problem with illegal or irregular migration is that when a person comes here and claims asylum, they may get it as a bona fide refugee in which case they can stay. That has nothing to do with the ECHR. It is a consequence of our domestic law and the Refugee Convention. He makes no suggestion we should leave it.
For those whose application is refused the main problem is that it is very difficult to return them to their countries of origin which will often not co-operate particularly if documents have been destroyed.
So leaving the ECHR will have minimal impact on the problem he claims to be addressing.

[European Movement UK @euromove]

Britain's meat industry has warned it is facing 'disaster' as new rules to limit cheap foreign labour mean it will be forced to pay migrant workers £12,000 more than locals.

This system is evidence that Brexit is a complete mess.

[European Movement UK @euromove]

Wasteful, unnecessary cost and red tape, introduced only because of Brexit.

[The Secret Barrister 🦋 @BarristerSecret]

This has the potential to be an absolutely incredible appointment.

I need to sit down.

[Dr Rachel Clarke @doctor_oxford]

The contrast to what we’ve just endured could not be starker. Embracing expertise, rather than disparaging it. Another wonderful appointment 🔬🦠🧬

[Michel Barnier @MichelBarnier]

Congratulations to @Keir_Starmer / @UKLabour & @LibDems on your victory !
Best wishes to the British people.

A new era can begin between the European Union & the United Kingdom.
Let’s make it fruitful.
We have so many challenges to address, together: peace, cooperation in Africa, security, AI… 🇪🇺 🇬🇧

[David Yelland @davidyelland]

My wise friend makes a good point - the Greens need to demand as much share of voice as Reform.

[Richard Osman @richardosman]

A gentle reminder that the phrase 'supermajority' is meaningless in U.K. politics. There is nothing you can do with a 350-seat majority that you can't do with an 80-seat majority.
