I guess that's an understandable position if you have an EU passport. I don't have one and want my EU rights back -Labour's excruciatingly slow progress is in no way good enough for me.

I live in the EU and as happy as they are that we have better relations with them and that we’re all standing together against Putin, they haven’t forgotten who Nigel Farage is, and they are not going to welcome with open arms a country that might elect Reform.

Sure, but I'm not convinced the way to beat Farage is for Labour to try and become a far right party and ramp up their performative cruelty to foreigners.

You think Brexit has affected me LESS because I am an EU migrant living in the UK, do you? You have said some abrasive things to me, recently, Andrew, but this takes the cake. Heading for a block.

I share your indignation, Alex. Solidarity.

We cannot rejoin now. So what next, then?

Maybe we can't re join right now but we should certainly make the case for it. That's the difference between a leader and a follower. Good civil servants, like Starmer, are natural followers whereas Farage is happy to race ahead and hope people are following him.

Before all that people need to make the case for rejoining the custom's union, for instance.

I agree EU SM+CU is absolutely the right starting place and essential to enable our SMEs to get exporting again and contribute to GDP growth.

I really want our EU citizenship back too, but there are far more urgent things to sort out in the UK and the wider world than regaining our membership right now IMO.
