TruoneFinally, after all the complaints by the #brexiteers that the EU isn’t a #democracy , hereditary peers are abolished in the UK #houseoflords. The #UK moves a step closer to being a true democracy. https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2026/mar/10/hereditary-peers-to-lose-their-seats-in-the-house-of-lords?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other politics #politics #politician #news #globalnews #conflict #internationalnews #brexit #uk #europe #eu #farage #garage #nigel #ReformUK #ukip #cooperation #NigelGarage
@mse_eu This sums up #brexiteers thinking for me (I don’t know where it originally came from). They over estimated the importance of the UK as they always will. They are probably still scratching their heads trying to work out why Europe didn’t blindly follow us into the abyss.
Thor A. HoplandMy goodness #threads is filled with #Brexiteers still chomping at the bit to please their #oligarch daddies. What a bunch of saplings.
Mastodon is a haven in comparison. But let us test the assumption:
*clears throat*
#Brexit was solely for the purpose of letting #British #elites do a bit of money laundering, insider trading and taking bribes from #Russian and #Saudi elites at the expense of British economy, stability and democracy.
@uk so the new #brexiteers chant is ‘Brexit, it’s not as bad as people are saying’
Claire McNab@ReggieHere That's probably the right attitude.
I think it was in 2017/18 that I finally concluded that England's #Brexiteers & #Remainers were both irretrievably bonkers tribes in a shitshow that had never shedded imperual delusion.
England's 21st century will be like Argentina's 20th. Steep economic decline, while a succession of absurdly venal and cruel regimes outdo each others' incompetence and madness.
But sadly, without proper Latin-American-dictator shades & hats.
That allowed #Brexiteers to legitimately sell Brexit as the only chance to halt or reverse #EUfederalism. Instead of #Brexit being sold on its (dubious) merits, they were free to approach the 2016 referendum as the only democratic chance to even apply the brakes. That political gift to #Farage was created by the British #Europhiles.
It's probable that if e.g. #Maastricht had been rejected, the UK would still be in the #EU.

THREAD: @ChrisMayLA6 rightly questions UK #LabourParty's "mistaken expectation of continued entitlement" wrt the #EU.🇪🇺
From my Irish perspective, that #entitlement is in most of the UK's 🇬🇧 pro-Europeans as strikingly as the #Brexiteers' mendacity. Domestically, their entitlement imposed #EUenlargement & centralisation through 6 major steps without referendum to ensure public buy-in. No public campaign to win their argument, allowing #eurosceptics to build unchallenged. #democraticDeficit

Bremain in SpainOh this is going to get the #Brexiteers 'frothing at the mouth'!

pennine#EU updates its import/export rules tomorrow, as they will to further develop the EU economy. #Brexit means that such upgrades will add to the damage that #Brexiteers have done 2 UK. The remedy is to #Rejoin as quickly as possible to minimise the greatest self inflicted injury. https://shorturl.at/0UZ7H
