They won’t be honest, or reverse it
with full Shengen and €uro or not… are such Opt-Outs still the expectations from the UK public?…
Politicians honest?
Good luck with that
They probably only can get back with a worse deal than they had when they left.

We’re not going to rejoin the eu when the party leading the polls, by a lot, is led by the guy who campaigned for it for 20+ years.
The tariffs situation needs to be handled, but this kind of article is wishful thinking at best, and dangerous at worst, as it encourages the people claiming a “betrayal” by parties.
Britain will always want to be one foot in and one foot out of the EU. At this point, eat Brexit and maybe talk again in 50 years when it’s just the UK, Switzerland and Russia’s satellites that are outside.
No, what wrecked our steel industry was net zero. The businesses themselves that operated the refineries have even pointed at net zero being the cause of closure because energy bills made it impossible to produce anything without substantial losses.
Or.. and here is a crazy idea.. engage in our own protectionism and rebuild a strategically important industry.
God forbid we give the plebs an opportunity other than retail or a call centre.
It’s a shame then that Jenkins was spouting some palingenetic crap back when Brexit was happening.
When will this sub move on. That’s actually insane.
You can’t reverse Brexit. The EU doesn’t want you back.
The cost of electricity is the problem with British steel.
Steel making in Britain has been fucked for literally decades, I remember it being on the news in the 90s.
Simon Jenkins is an idiot who wrote an article arguing in favour of brexit before the referendum.
And anyway, brexit is irreversible. Most Brits know it.
We would need a party in power that doesn’t just follow the status quo and downwards spiral of the last 50 years. Sadly, the only one saying they will do just that, is the Green party.
No it’s not steel had problems way before Brexit this is just a stupid distraction tactic like most things now Brexit is just an easy clickbait headline.
It seems both Russia and USA don’t want UK to rejoin. A weak Europe is a dead Europe or something.
People over the age of 70+ would need to be dead and buried before anything close to a re-join EU came into question.
Brexit leave votes slant heavy on the gammons getting conned by Facebook.
