Andy Burnham says rejoining the EU is among options the government could look at - telling the BBC the current Brexit settlement has caused “more harm than good”.
I hope they’ll rejoin the EU one day, ideally we end up stronger united than before and not like an on/off-relationship…
These are just words. Set a date for a referendum or say nothing. Promisocracy is a disease.
How else to test the public opinion, but with promisocracy? It can be withdrawn at any time with an ‘obviously not now, but maybe one day if the people want it, ya know?!’
Yep, you don’t get this chance often, and fearmongering goes far and can blow up the whole thing, just look at what happened in Iceland.
Just do it without some referendum.
UK thinks they can just rejoin at will. Cute.
EU would be more than happy to have them back. Macron and Sanchez said as much this afternoon.
Macron is telling whatever he wants because his presidential term ends in 6 months.
I can hear the angry gammon noises from here.
Ahh the piece of shit decided to look less like a piece of shit while still being one cause he wont actually do anything to achieve that. I dont know what happens when you get inaugurated to be uk pm but they seem to tear you spine out cause all of them turn into spineless fucks.
What’s going on with Burnham? I am really not well informed…
Generally looking very positive for him at the moment. Way more popular than the outgoing PM. Has since said lots of things other politicians would avoid: Nationalising infrastructure, Fixing Social Care, Rejoining the EU, reforming the electoral system. It’s early days, probably not possible for him to do everything he talks about. Generally a solid social democratic outlook.
Neither am I, but even mentioning rejoining the EU when far right is stronger than ever is pretty bold I’d say, there’s a reason PMs before him have avoided saying it.
He had a bunch of good policies, got into office and instantly fired pro palestine people, went back on his policies, basically summed up he was like “oh this is harder than i thought it would be”. Unlike mamdani for example who promised and delivered on what he could(of course there are things that are harder to achieve and things that aee easier), burnham basically just gave up on doing anything like every other fucking politician. He isnt especially bad, hes kinda meh, but why i had such a bad reaction to him is that i expected him to be an actually good change like mamdani.
What’s he given up on? Not sure he’s tried anything yet…
Do you think it is fair to compare the outcomes of a city mayor to the prime Minister of the UK? I’m not asking this rhetorically, but it personally doesn’t feel of the same calibre job.
Nigel farce said NO
