The UK economy doesn't need miracles.
It needs access.
Access to markets.
Access to workers.
Access to customers.
Access to opportunities.
The closer we move back towards the Single Market, the easier growth becomes.
There is no "debate". It is a fact that Brits will gain greater prosperity; opportunities; choices (for less cost); freedoms (of movement across borders) & (for their businesses) guaranteed greater growth..into the EU..by rejoining it & regaining 85% of its internal market, of wealthy consumers, which it foolishly gave up, without any hope of ever equally replacing it...
Labour or the Tories could safely campaign next GE, on *guaranteed* better access, opportunities, choices, growth & prosperity, as they lift the Brexit Gammon Curtain back up & open, to the *genuine* sunny uplands of greater freedoms into & across our continent 😎
The EU keeps making the same point:
The four freedoms go together.
Goods. Services. Capital. People.
You can’t permanently cherry-pick one and reject another.
The road back to the Single Market always leads through Freedom of Movement.

Brexit is going to be undone.
It’s inevitable that Britain will get her star back.
Ten years of a smaller economy, higher costs, lost opportunities, weaker influence, and diminished living standards have made the case overwhelming.
Public opinion has already shifted decisively, a clear majority now wants to rejoin. The only question left is how and when, not if.
"He (Obama) thinks you’ve completely f***ed yourselves. A friend in the State Department said ‘some of us are wondering what the point of the UK is now you’re going to leave the EU’."
That is when that special relationship died. In the summer of 2016.

UK Finance know these things can only be achieved by a return to the Single Market or the Union:
“The report suggests immediate steps like extending EU market access indefinitely for the U.K.’s clearinghouses — previously a major Brexit sore spot �� and setting up technical working groups to coordinate on rules, rather than just chat about them.
The lobby group also calls for a “pragmatic” decision to recognize U.K. banks as “equivalent” to their EU counterparts on capital rules — arguing it would free up capital on the EU side.”
Hope this is true. Labour's #Brexit red lines were arbitrary and only introduced to appease the most extreme brexiters, who still did not vote for Labour. The sooner they are ditched, the better. https://t.co/mpcSSAExD5
The big change that needs to happen now is restoring mutual Freedom of Movement.
It will allow the UKEUReset to work and unlock the Brexit Impasse.

☀️ This summer Brexit showing itself in real time.
Six-hour queues at European airports this summer due to new EU border checks, a direct consequence of losing free movement rights.
Millions of British holidaymakers will feel the frustration.
After this summer, the urgency to rejoin (or at least regain proper Single Market access) will only grow stronger.
Brexit was of course the ultimate decline denialism, a Shakespearian tragedy and comedy all in one as the wannabe escapee proclaiming the end of geography is actually shrinking into the past rather than dealing with the modern world
Reminder: All Brexit did was make it MUCH harder to access & sell into the EU27 & EFTA4
without (not in UK's gift to) making it any *equally* compensating easier to access & sell into any other country
🚨 Voters see Brexit as a “big disappointment” and “not worth it” resulting in a rise in support for rejoining the EU.
The decision to leave the EU has “not withstood the test of time” and is blamed for making immigration and the economy worse, says Professor Sir John Curtice.
Prof Curtice says: “The 2016 referendum has failed to resolve the debate about whether Britain should be inside or outside the EU. The country now finds itself outside an institution of which a modest majority at least would like to be a member.
“For the time being at least, a significant body of voters have decided that being outside the EU is not worth it.”
I went to Brussels and I've come back with a message from the EU:
"We want the UK to undo Brexit, come back, and make Nigel Farage pay for all the damage he's done!"
