If the European Union is good enough for 27 of our nearest neighbours, why not for the UK? If the EEA/Single Market is good enough for 30 of our nearest neighbours, why not for the UK? If Reciprocating Freedom of Movement (the 4 freedoms) is good enough for 31 of our nearest neighbours, why not for the UK? If the/a Customs Union is good enough for 28 of our nearest neighbours, why not for the UK? If the Schengen CTA is good enough for 30 (soon to be 31) of our nearest neighbours (inc our own British Overseas Territory), why not for the UK? If a closer, more convergent relationship to the EU27 is good enough for all - apart from Russia & their new bedfellow - shown in @JohnRConstable 's schematic below, why not for the UK?
Here is the graphic, which has suffered from numerous reviews and is now fairly accurate:

The accession requirements stated in A49 would be subject to discussion and joint agreement between UK & EU. Who knows what would actually happen? Given what the UK got in return for the2016 Referendum result, I'd say it isn't over until that hoop has been reached... @BrexitRage

"If Bwexit wuz so bad how comes we is growing faster than Germany, 'n France, 'n all the EU?" Hmm... let's check shall we? Oops! Actually our current growth is 20th out of 32. 1/3

But that's just a snapshot; how about cumulative real GDP growth since the referendum? Double-oops! 22nd out of 32. 2/3

But wait; the "Boris wave" flung our borders open to a flood of immigration from Africa and Asia 3 times greater than anything seen before - GDP growth just by population increase. What about per cumulative real GDP growth since 2016, per Capita? Oh dear. 3/3

Nothing says ‘Keep Britain British’ quite like standing in the rain looking furious while someone behind you celebrates everything that makes Britain diverse.

🇬🇧🇪🇺 Brexit’s days are numbered. Burnham will ask the EU about the conditions for rejoining at the summit. The EU will offer the UK an interim arrangement while accession is negotiated. Europe’s support the UK’s return, as do over 60% of Britons. Labour leads with 32%, will win the next election and will put rejoining the EU in its next manifesto. Burnham will go down as Britain’s best prime minister in decades.

🚨 EXPLAIN THIS! Northern Ireland kept access to the EU goods market. Since 2019: 🇪🇺 Northern Ireland: +12.7% 🇬🇧 UK: +6.3% Almost DOUBLE the economic growth. If leaving the EU was supposed to make us richer, why is Northern Ireland showing the Sunlit uplands are in the EU? 🇪🇺

Referendum? Why? The last one made a mockery of the whole thing, as it was meant to be advisory but they forced the thing through Westminster to make it seem like certain classes of people (and Gibraltar!) wanted to leave the EU... JFDI - A49! @BrexitRage youtu.be/BfM77kburo0

Time better spent negotiating after exercising Article 49 of the Treaty on European Union - how a country can join the EU. The more the UK diverges from the EU, the longer it will take to get back in, offering bad actors a chance to kibosh! @BrexitRage youtu.be/S7EvjYZVejk

"Brexit wasn't implemented properly" is an "argument" that is often advanced. The UK left the European Union. Brexit was implemented properly.

A few sane words of advice here, courtesy of @BrexitRage No referendum, just a letter to start the ball rolling, from the PM to the EU Council. I believe they call it A49. youtu.be/S7EvjYZVejk

What a load of tosh - there is absolutely no need for another referendum on the EU question! PM Burnham needs to send a letter to the EU Council telling them the UK wants to join the EU. The sooner, the better. @BrexitRage youtu.be/BfM77kburo0?is=eotp…

Replying to @dave43law
One comment, repeated a few times in the article: "This is a total betrayal of Brexit Britain and [Burnham's] Makerfield pitch". Many beg to differ - Burnham's reasoning is sound, and he needs to make clear the UK wants to join the EU soon! @BrexitRage youtube.com/shorts/oechG3znz…

Apparently, patriotism now involves compulsory national pride and dressing a 40ft miner in a Union Jack. Can we just enjoy being British without being given instructions by the flag police?
