Petition updateSave the UK by forgetting BREXIT and Rejoining the EUBREXIT: The UK - FRom an Imperial Power to a Beggar as May ignored at Davos

May waffles and Corbyn evades as 'our' so-called leaders oversee the UK diving into deep waters. Hardly anyone listened to May in Davos while the moron took center stage with his nonsense. The 'secret' BREXIT impact papers that I have been arguing should be published are slowly leaking out. The Guardian today emphasised the forthcoming disaster: 'Brexit will be bad for the economy however you slice it, with Britain losing out even if it manages to cling on to single-market membership, according to a leaked government analysis. Over the next 15 years, national income would be 8% lower under a no-deal scenario, around 5% lower with a free-trade agreement with the EU and about 2% lower with a soft Brexit option of staying in the single market, says the briefing paper. It was meant to be shown confidentially to cabinet ministers this week. David Davis previously told parliament that Brexit impact assessments covering 58 sectors of the economy did not exist.' And the Marxist left? As 'The Guardian' also writes: 'Jeremy Corbyn, meanwhile, has been told to square up, stop hiding behind leftwing myths and start championing the single market. The Labour leader has argued that continued membership could hamper his policies such as state aid to industry and renationalising rail services. Labour MPs Heidi Alexander and Alison McGovern say this is not the case. Introducing a collection of essays on the topic, they write that the argument for staying in the common market is “there to be won” and “the fact that we continue to hedge our bets … is not doing anyone any favours”. Our editorial says the Tories’ disarray on Brexit creates a situation “ready-made for Labour to articulate an alternative approach that speaks for Britain’s interests”. Germany’s outgoing ambassador to London, meanwhile, says Brexit has been fed by a nostalgic image of Britain standing alone in the second world war: “It is a nice story, but does not solve any problem of today.” '
