Governments do not decide Britain’s future for eternity. Voters do. “No plans” describes the Government’s present policy; it does not make rejoining impossible. Governments change policy when economic reality, public opinion and electoral pressure make the existing position unsustainable. Brexit itself happened after decades of politicians being told it would never happen. Now Brexit is damaging trade, farming and investment, while Britain increasingly copies EU rules from outside. This week Brussels made clear that British industry cannot expect “made in Europe” treatment while Britain provides a potential back door for Chinese goods. So yes, I will continue making the case for rejoining the single market and ultimately the EU. That is how democratic change works: people argue, organise and persuade until government policy changes. Perhaps you need to get that into your head.

🚨 Channel 4 investigative journalists clearly haven’t taken the summer off. 😂 After the Reform funding sting, @Matt_A_Shea has a new investigation into Tommy Robinson airing on Wednesday at 10pm. This could be quite a week for people who spend their lives attacking investigative journalism. 👀
