We should rejoin the EU for financial reasons and to be stronger to oppose threats from Russia.

We should rejoin the EU because the reasons for leaving were ever more demonstrably a lie, and have been economically and culturally a disaster. Project Fear turned out to have understated the harm. Britain always had control. We had the pound in the EU. We had the pint in the EU. We had free movement in the EU, which for most people meant short queues on holidays and more tradespeople were available. Immigration has always been a hot button scare tactic. Freedom of movement was badged as immigration, but was always a two-way street. We need workers, and to cover the shortfall, the previous government had to loosen regulations which allowed record immigration. And that form of immigration is likely to be a one-way street. So, what we have now is the pound, the pint and an immigration own goal. We were better off in the EU. And look at the liars who sold Brexit: Boris, the incompetent who literally flipped a coin and pursued his most opportune political path; and Farage , the posh former public schoolboy cosplaying as the common man, who took EU money and rarely turned up, now taking parliamentary money and rarely turning up. Rejoin now.
