Latest polling confirms that UK voters have no wish to go back into the EU. So many Remain spin doctors take the polls which show many critical of Brexit so far as proof people now want back in when that is far from the truth. Brexiteers are angry that successive governments have not used enough of the hard won freedoms of Brexit, whilst Remainers remain critical of the whole idea. That frustration is not the same as wanting to rejoin.
We can do much more now we are out to lower taxes, improve and reduce regulations, promote UK business and trade, take a global view, agree trade deals with the rest of the world , revive UK fishing and help UK farmers recapture lost share from the damaging long years in the EU. Brexit can be so much better.
The last thing Brexit voters want is to go back in on worse terms. We are saving all that money promised on the side of the bus, and more. Rejoining would mean a likely £30 bn a year bill as a membership fee which we cannot afford.
UK voters have no wish to be a colony of a low and no growth Europe again. In a recent independent You Gov poll for Britain Unbound 59% rejected the more limited idea of the EU re set, saying they do not wish to give some powers over our laws to Brussels for possible greater access to the single market. Only 27% thought that a good idea. Last year an extensive poll of attitudes commissioned by Queen Mary College London found that 60% of people wanted the UK government to make the decisions, the average for 20 crucial areas. Only 7% wanted the decisions made by the EU. Even in the area of food standards, something this government wishes to cede to the EU, the public voted 65% for British standards and just 8% for internationally set standards.
Brexit remains a great idea. It needs a government with the confidence to use the freedoms and build on the Brexit successes we have already pocketed. We are £17 bn a year better off from not paying them fees and keeping our own tax revenues. We have removed tariffs on items we do not make or grow for ourselves, benefitting consumers. Let’s have some more wins.

And the majority of people in this country will not fall for the lies and misinformation spouting by Heath and Wilson from the 70s up until now, we are a self governing nation with the ability to kick out of power when the time comes around and won’t fall for the lies that it’s down to the EU regulations that as tied us to a lot of stupid laws

Indeed but for the dire BBC:-
The BBC’s editorial complaints unit has decided that the negative economic impact of Brexit is now a settled fact. Not a contested judgement. Not one side of a live debate. A fact, in the same category as man-made climate change, requiring no balancing view.
The ruling followed a Radio 4 Today programme segment featuring Andrew Bailey, the Governor of the Bank of England, alongside Liam Byrne and Sir John Gieve, both long-standing advocates of closer EU alignment. All three agreed Brexit had damaged growth. The presenter, Katya Adler, did not challenge the premise or introduce a dissenting voice. A complaint followed.
They also seem to absurdly claim that the Covid “vaccines” saves lives (the reverse is true which is why they will not release the raw stats) that the mass low skilled immigration increases living standards and that we do not have two tier justice or sentencing. Clearly they are totally deluded or liars!

Well said – lets hope the Express readers get the message.
It would be interesting to see what the response would be if that were published in the Mirror.
If only we’d gone with no deal – it would have been better still, but our government chickened out despite taking it to a last minute agreement that favoured the EU and left too much in limbo.
If Reform do get in at the next GE will they have the power to reverse things and provide a clean Brexit?

To achieve the aims of your last paragraph, we need a new government. Starmer and Co are EU puppets.
June 13, 2026
It doesn’t matter what the people want when the majority in government and the civil service think otherwise.
The public want a strong defence but the government wants everyone on benefits.
Starmer and his croiks are following on from the tories abd implementing Agenda 30. Prove me wrong.
June 13, 2026
Don’t know why we are back again talking about re set because it’s just not going to happen. Britain is divided in so many ways there is no chance that they would ever take us seriously because what might be agreed by one government could then be so easily overturned by the next – that’s how bad it is
It may be that we can get some additional side agreements to help with easier movement of goods and people but that will be as far as it goes and where of course we will be the rule taker – but nothing wrong with that because it will allow us more time for expanding trade links with new partners in other regions
Reply It is happening. Starmer is giving into a large number of EU demands so he can present a Re Set Bill to Parliament soon
June 13, 2026
Looks like Starmer will be gone in a few weeks

Europe is a pleasant place. Unfortunately, the EU keeps messing it up. It is a relief having the freedom to be out of their nonsense.
June 13, 2026
If you love Europe as I and my Italian wife do you should surely despise the EU who have done so much damage to it and continue to do so.
June 13, 2026
Indeed without Brexit we have no real democracy not much democracy even with Brexit when our politicians promise one thing but deliberately deliver the complete opposite for 40 odd years.
June 13, 2026
The BBC disagrees with you their fact checking says the opposite. That is itself the BBC needs closing down and OFCOM should be investigating them for falsehoods, left-wing proper-gander and stirring up malicious hate. Unbiased they are NOT
June 13, 2026
OFCOM, especially during Covid, was a major cause of misinformation especially during Covid on lockdowns and the not safe not even effective vaccines and on Climate alarmism. Forcing broadcasters to lie on these topics. They also it seems force GBNew to have their numerous mad lefties on all the time. But at least we can all laugh at the lefties hilarious and bonkers “logic”.

One of the big mistakes of Brexit when we voted to get out of the EU in 2016 was that we were under the mis-apprehension we could Govern ourselves properly as was the case before we joined in January 1973.
That has proved not to be the case and this has been exacerbated by the fact that we did not make a clean break from the EU and have remained under their rules and laws to a large extent such as the ECHR, fishing in UK waters, control of immigration etc.
We might have saved £17 billion a year through Brexit but 10 years on what has happened to that money?Where has the £170 billion we saved gone to? Why are we still borrowing money and why have we left the UK without a proper defence budget unable to defend ourselves in the event of a war, why is the NHS underfunded, why are our roads not repaired why are benefit payments sky high and why can’t we control our own borders and need to pay France to help, or not, in that quest.
What the Uk has failed to do is make the most of a golden opportunity to self Govern and take back control.We have been weak in making the most of the benefits that Brexit gave us and ineffectual at weaning ourselves away from the control of the EU.
Over the 43 years we were an EU member the UK has become used to being governed by the EU super state and no longer knows how to Govern itself. As a result we are still far too reliant on the EU .
June 13, 2026
Agreed, the Blob has a particular lazy mindset in that ‘Brussels’ has always decided and we agreed… in the past. It will take many years to turn this around after 40 years of subjugation. We must persevere and advance without fear… and without this present ‘government’.
June 13, 2026
“Rejoining would mean a likely £30 bn a year bill as a membership fee which we cannot afford.”
This will be very unfair given that our rulers have managed with mass immigration and Net Zero to ensure that our GDP/capita has now fallen to the EU 27 average and hence we should no longer be net contributors to the EU budget. Not that our current Parliament cares that our GDP/capita has fallen as socialism depends upon making and keeping people poor. The reason for Brexit was always about sovereignty and thus retaining the ability to elect and hopefully remove those who make our laws and policies.
June 13, 2026
Well said Sir
June 13, 2026
That £17 billion would go a long way towards increasing our defence budget, if we had a professional PM and Government. The problem is that both this government and the last have ignored financial responsibility and that £17 billion has been totally wasted. Both governments seem afraid to take advantage of our Brexit freedoms.
I don’t approve of the riots in Belfast and Southampton, but they have the same root as our other problems.
Governments, past and present, have been ignoring the will of the people. If they don’t respond to genuine anger, the riots will worsen and become uncontrollable. For every person who riots on the street, there are 99,999 others who feel the anger, but have not yet expressed it. If the Government and MPs of all parties don’t wake up and deal with voters’ real concerns, they will be swept away, as the conservatives were in the last GE.

We were better off scrapping the Erasmus scheme. Less debt from unpaid foreign student loans, more university places for our own students, and more choice of places abroad for our children. The Turing scheme was just bearing fruit when Starmer, in his wisdom, cancelled it and resurrected the failing Erasmus. Either he is badly advised, or so besotted with the EU and the continued foreign invasion of our country that he will do anything that is a detriment to our finances.
June 13, 2026
The latter surely. If something is bad for the UK Starmer likes it. The French not policing the border for millions in payments, Chagos, the French Fishing deal give it all to them, the Windsor Accord, Net Zero, Two Tier Justice, doom loop tax to death economics, rip off renewable energy, the workers rights lunacy, the tenants right lunacy…

John,
Your comments on us being better off with Brexit are taken out of context and does not take account of the missed export, growth and productivity measures we would have had according to OECD, IMF and OBR.
So, please do not keep telling us we have saved money and therefore it is worth while your figures are an illusion.
You kept talking about a trade agreement with the US, what happened there?
Reply What nonsense. We had 47 years in the EU which depressed our growth and productivity and cost us a fortune.
June 13, 2026
Well ssid re your views on membership of the EU.
