Oddbean new post about login | logout Mixed feelings on this. Everyone who knows better has to pretend like rejoining #EU / #singlemarket / #customsunion would be terrible thing and it's off the table. This 👇 is worse but still better than status quo. So I guess it's good news! #Brexit #ukpolitics "Labour wants new EU links in a reset of British foreign policy" https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2023/sep/16/labour-wants-new-eu-links-in-a-reset-of-british-foreign-policy?CMP=Share_AndroidApp_Other https://cdn.masto.host/medmastodoncom/media_attachments/files/111/077/620/953/218/710/original/dfbcf88aa48c01d6.jpg
@2c841a34 I think the idea of an immediate return of the UK to the EU is a bit naive, to be honest. It won't go like that. What will happen (because the economic logic is inescapable - whatever party is in power) is a series of sector-by-sector deals, until rejoining the single market and customs union will not seem like a big deal to anybody. But rejoining the EU - the political union - is a different matter, and depends not only on the UK, but on how the EU has evolved without the UK in the meantime.
