  1. This is just one case out of 2,500 in Sweden alone. The UK government can hardly be surprised about other countries taking a hardline attitude to immigration when it does exactly the same, if not worse. #BrexitReality www.theguardian.com/world/2026/a...

  6. No surprise here

    Instead, the surprise is that #BrexitReality hasn't ended the political career of Nigel Farage

  8. "... What strikes me going back over these moments 10 years later is how little of Brexit now feels self-contained. The referendum was not just a vote about Europe. It was the moment Britain’s political system, media culture and party loyalties began mutating into the form we now recognize. ..."

  9. Given that half of immigration is due to students, this in large part reflects a fall in the number of international students studying in the UK, causing a funding crisis in #HigherEducation with closure of many university courses. Well done, Brexiteers! *slow hand clap* #BrexitReality

    While the press will never say, this is an obvious outcome of the disaster called #Brexit

    Tearing NI out of the EU, relitigating every little facet while a rump Unionist group held the lead of the PM, was a major factor.

  15. Morning! Turns out shouting “sovereignty” doesn’t lower bills, fix trade, or stop queues at Dover. Working with friends does. Funny that. Let’s rejoin Europe. 🇪🇺 #BrexitReality #ReJoinEU

  19. The most damaging #Brexit Myth: “The UK could keep all the benefits of EU membership with none of the obligations.”

    Many Brexiteers genuinely believed:
    - the EU would prioritise trade over rules
    - the EU would split internally
    - the EU would treat the UK as exceptional

    None of these things happened because:
    - the single market only works because its rules are non‑negotiable
    - Brexit made the 27 more united than ever
    - the EU applied the same terms to everyone

  21. @ChrisMayLA6

    Until the papers and 1/3rd of the nation stop flying into a rage at mention of the #EU , any government can only "cherrypick"

    The UK needs a massive education campaign before it can cooperate more fully with the EU.

    Sadly, the UK seems to have never been able to do that. And I don't expect it to start now. The people behind Brexit are more powerful now.

  22. "Global Britain” - returning to a more independent global role and reviving global trade networks, and the Commonwealth reconnected - a nostalgia

    The "They needs us more than we need them" attitude. The idea that only one side is the rule‑maker - a great‑power nostalgia

    That UK is just middle power, right at the shore of a new kind of power - the EU - with a no longer so special "special relationship with the US" - no nostalgia

  24. Finally!!

    Rejoining Erasmus was a no-brainer.

    It's past time to end this of the many pointless and destructive breaks in UK-EU relations.
