[h1][b]John Major: Brexit Was a Colossal Mistake[/b][/h1] [link=https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2023-02-07/brexit-was-a-colossal-mistake-former-pm-sir-john-major-tells-committee?utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=social&cmpid%3D=socialflow-twitter-politics&utm_campaign=socialflow-organic&utm_content=politics]Bloomberg[/link]
Former prime minister John Major says Britain made a colossal mistake when it left the European Union.
Said Major: There are three great power blocs in the world today. United Kingdom is not one of them. There is America, there is China and there is the European Union.
It is those strategic issues which make me believe we should be in Europe and that we have made a colossal mistake in leaving.

[h1][b]Britain Is Now Paying the Price[/b][/h1]
[link=https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2023/05/brexit-labor-party-immigration-keir-starmer/673928/]David Frum[/link]:Altogether, Britain is expected to be the worst performing of the worlds 20 biggest economies this year. The British governments official forecaster predicts that after-inflation household incomes will decline by an average of 7.1 percent over the three years ending in spring 2024. On the present trajectory, Britain will not return to 2019 levels of disposable income until 2027. By 2024, the average British household will likely have a lower living standard than the average household in Slovenia. On present trends, the average British household will be poorer than the average in Poland by 2030.
The pandemic has not helped, but the slowdown of the British economy cannot be explained by Covid. Italy has suffered more deaths from Covid than any other major European country has, yet its economy had mostly recovered to pre-pandemic levels by the end of 2021.
Britain is now paying the price for its decision to leave the European Union.

[h3]Britons agree with Nigel Farage that Brexit has been a failure – including 37% of Leave voters[/h3] [b][/b]
A new YouGov survey shows that the public agree with the former UKIP and Reform UK leader {Nigel Farage}, with 62% of Britons describing Brexit as more of a failure, and only 9% considering it more of a success. A further 20% describe it as neither, while the remaining 9% are unsure.
Remain voters overwhelmingly believe Brexit has been a failure (89%), while Leave voters are split: 37% also say it has been more of a failure, while 35% see it as neither a failure nor a success, but only 20% currently consider it mostly a success.
Most Leave voters who join Farage in saying that Brexit has been a failure so far likewise pin the blame on the Tories: 75% say that Brexit had the potential to be a success but the implementation of it by this and/or previous governments made it a fail.
However, most of those Britons who consider Brexit to be a failure think it was doomed from the start: 56% say Brexit was always going to be a failure, and there was nothing any government could do to make it a success. This includes 77% of Remain voters who consider Brexit to be more of a failure.[/QUOTE]

The UKs opposition Labour Party is on track for a landslide victory at the next general election, according to a new poll with a higher than typical sample size that is likely ramp up the pressure on Conservative Prime Minister Rishi Sunak.
Labour could win 470 seats at the election, with the Tories plummeting to just 129, according to the baseline scenario of an MRP poll by Focaldata, which asked 10,140 people in Great Britain how they intend to vote. That would give Labour a huge majority of more than 140 seats, it said.
