People voted to leave the EU because they were fed up, often for reasons that had nothing to do with the EU. And there was no agreement on what Brexit would look like.

The country has moved on since 2016. Politicians need to catch up. @pimlicat.bsky.social on LBC

AI godfather Geoffrey Hinton branding Donald Trump a "corrupt, senile felon" who understands "almost nothing" about AI exposes dangerous political incompetence. Handing regulatory control over transformative tech to clueless demagogues risks chaos. Why trust populist ignorance? (1/2) 🤔 #FBR

Every time a Brexist denies Russian interference, ask them "do you believe that Russia intervenes in European politics?" If the answer is yes, then the follow-up is "and why do you conclude that they choose not to interfere in British politics?"

Neither the EU nor the UK can rely on Trump's America, but we can rely on each other. We need Europe, and Europe needs us. 🚨 "Europe – now outwardly disapproving of the US – is more open to closer cooperation with Brexit Britain than at any time since the Leave vote."

I feel I don’t say it enough: this is truly a fantastic, welcome, long overdue change in tone, and more than just a change in tone. Yes yes it’s still [waves hands expressively] but my God it has been a long 15 years so let’s be thankful we’re finally heading in the right direction on this.

Why on earth does this BBC piece on Burnham telling an interviewer the UK security services confirmed Russian interference in the Brexit referendum require a response from a pro Brexit pressure group? It's literally our Prime Minister telling us about election security. It's nothing to do with them.

The prime minister told The Rest is Politics podcast that upon arriving in No 10, he had asked about possible Russian interference in the 2016 vote, adding: "I've had the clear answer that, yes, there was." "I think we've been too much on the back foot on that actually and we haven't informed people sufficiently about the extent to which people are seeking to disrupt the political process from overseas," he added. Burnham did not provide further details about the type or extent of Moscow's activity during the Brexit referendum. Britain Unbound, a pro-Brexit campaign group, said Burnham's comments were "another crude attempt to undermine the legitimacy of the decision that the British people made in 2016". It said that foreign interference in UK elections was "obviously unacceptable" but added: "There is no good reason to believe that Russian intervention influenced the outcome of the referendum in 2016.

some of us worked this out a decade ago but it’s refreshing to see a prime minister say it out loud

The 2016 Brexit vote was targeted by Russian “state-sponsored interference”, Andy Burnham has said, as he warned voters in France and Germany about Kremlin-backed attempts to influence their countries’ politics.  www.ft.com/content/4fcb...

As Kinnock points out - It’s the unpatriotic anti-EU parties who are the impediment to a quicker process, destroying our economy, undermining trust with our European partners & causing a drag on the process towards rejoining.
