Are the herd of Brexiteers on AB ready for this one. Sit down quietly in a chair put seat belt on and brace.. The latest You Gov Poll shows that five years after Brexit became official. The proportion of Brits who thought it was right to leave the EU is at it's lowest since the referendum.Just three in ten Brits ..30% say it was right for the UK to leave the EU. Compared to 55% who say it was wrong,I reckon the 30% are Abers...lol 🤣
Starmer isn’t celebrating Brexit Day (instead he’s gearing up to meet all 27 EU leaders on Monday). I [Khandro] thought he’d remind co-conspirators of what Britain’s managed to achieve outside the bloc:
Freedom to Govern Ourselves: The UK now manages its own affairs without needing EU approval. Since 2020, the UK has reformed or revoked almost 2500 pieces of arbitrary or burdensome EU law…
Avoiding Budget Contributions: No longer paying around £20 billion a year to the EU.
Control Over Immigration: Not bound by free movement rules, reducing mass EU migration (there turned out to be 6 million EU migrants). Though Starmer’s on the path to betraying that one…
No More EU Court Defeats: Free from rulings by the European Court of Justice.
Independent Trade Deals: Free to negotiate and sign new trade agreements globally. The UK has signed 73 trade deals with countries and the EU, including the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership…
Autonomy in Foreign Policy: Ability to form alliances like AUKUS without EU interference.
Farming Reform: The UK can tailor its own agricultural policies. Steve Reed has just signed off the Genetic Technology (Precision Breeding) Act 2023, set to unlock a £1 billion boost for UK agriculture…
Fishing Rights Protection: Greater control over British fishing waters.
VAT and Tax Policy Control: Freedom to set and change VAT rates without EU approval. As the Tories have pointed out, the UK has been able to cut VAT on certain products, reduce and simplify tariffs, and make the City more competitive with the Edinburgh Reforms…
Regulatory Flexibility: Ability to cut unnecessary regulations in industries like AI and biotech.
Animal Welfare Laws: Ability to create UK-specific animal welfare regulations.
Driving and Transport Rules: Control over UK-specific driving licence laws, lorry sizes, and car insurance costs.
No Eurozone Bailouts: No obligation to contribute to EU financial crises.
Digital and Speech Freedoms: Avoiding restrictive EU rules like the Digital Services Act.
Crucially though, Brexit remains unfinished business, with the UK yet to fully reclaim control over its borders, laws, and money. That, of course, is the last thing Starmer—Remainer-in-Chief—and his brigade of left-wing lawyers will ever deliver. Just yesterday, Attorney General Richard Hermer was busy telling everyone that the UK will never challenge the ECHR on anything. As Priti Patel warns, Starmer and his EU surrender squad are only working to “dismantle Brexit and drag us back into the EU’s grasp”… '
