Cue the “they can only join back if they join the Euro”

If the Uk got the exact same deal France has. France would veto it. It’s a none starter. Not in our lifetimes unfortunately

Labour wants to make a mockery of democracy

They may want to but what is the path back looking like? I say this as a Brit but the EU are unlikely to offer anything major until Farage and his grifting party are out of the picture, as they would just back out of any negotiated deal.
Even then, questions about Euro adoption and UK membership to the Schengen area (such as how it influences our open border with Ireland), and whether some EU members, especially those friendly with Putin and Trump, would veto any membership agreement for the UK remain. I do see us rejoining at some point, but that probably is a good while away.
Single Market and Customs Union membership would be more achievable in the short term, so I’d say that is a possibility if the UK is moving back towards Europe.

If they wanted to undo it, they wouldn’t have supported it and would have been undoing it for quite some time now.
If you put it to a vote now, polls suggest that the majority would support rejoin.
Sorry, but it’s nonsense. They want the “good bits” and none of the “bad bits”, same as Leave wanted from Brexit. They BOTH just don’t understand or care that both good and bad come attached to the same things.
If you wanted to undo Brexit, you could just say. You’re in power for years. It’s a great distraction from any current scandal. You’d have majority support. You can use it to actually get stuff done that you’re currently trying to do.
They haven’t, because they don’t. They want the piecemeal, selective, beneficial only to the UK, idealised, fictional scenario that Leave wanted. And, shock, horror, they haven’t got ANYWHERE NEAR that.

Afaik Labour has an absolute majority in the parliament, so what is stopping them if they actually wanted to apply for EU membership?

All in. 100%. €€€ and common market. Hell, join Schengen. Brexit was the dumbest move the UK has made since Tony Blair helped Bush Jr invade Iraq.

Please, I’m so tired man. It was so clearly a mistake driven by a Russian-funded disinformation campaign, and only the elderly and jingoistic wanted/want it.

Schengen, Euro, red passports, free movement, all in or nothing. No extras this time.

Keir Starmer has insisted the UK will not rejoin either the EU, the single market or the customs union.
So you know we will

They will not get the same deal with the same exceptions as the own they have thrown away.
And that is something that Farage and his ilk will use to influence the opinion against a join: “look, they want to get you back into the EU with an even worse deal than last time!!!!!!”
And Russia will once again turn on the social media propaganda machine, this time supported by the Trump USA that does not want a strong EU under any circumstances.

I dont see it happening at all. France will fight tooth and nails to not give the UK any of the old exceptions and perks

We can’t get back in as we still have a huge farage problem. We need to get rid of that before we consider rejoining

I actively want to adopt the euro, and pretty much everything else. Where do I sign?

The Greens leading the UK to rejoin the EU would break a lot of brains and it’s not an impossible scenario

They are run by people who never wanted to leave.
Blocked by their own manifesto though. They would need an election.

You’d have to be a fool not to want to undo it. Timing is up for debate.

good, and perfectly happy with the Euro (I mean I’ve not seen a bank note in years, so don’t care who/what is on it) and even more happy with Schengen.
