I'm suggesting that instead of labelling someone who wants to join a remainiac, they are called a rejoiner. I'm not suggesting everyone who voted remain is called a rejoiner as many or even most are not.

A lot of Remainers would still vote to Remain if given the chance but also don't think it's worth the effort nor the toxicity it would inject back into British politics. It's actually pretty healthy that the Brexit divide has become less important as time has gone on, there was a fear British politics would split along those lines.

The actual number of people who think it is worth the effort and want to pursue is a small minority of hardcore activists who are doing it - in part - because they've carved out a niche for themselves around that identity. They're a bit weird and come out with essentially fan fiction on how it'll happen when writing on Twitter.

I don't actually follow any of them so only see them when retweeted into my feed by people mocking them but this guy claims to live in France: https://twitter.com/archer_rs

I am not sure if it's a troll account because of the stock picture and this line in his bio:



Which seems almost too perfectly 'remainer'.

This is his latest work of pure art:



Again either a brilliant troll or someone who has lost connection with reality but the people who follow seem to take it seriously.

I've never taken him seriously but he is good.

I can't tell. You think it's a parody account, I mean look at this line:




It's almost too perfect. A reasonably expensive Châteauneuf-du-Pape but from 2019? It's too well crafted. But then he seems to spend most of the time retweeting negative news about Brexit....

Sets an interesting precedent that devolved governments that ignore/break international treaties, independent of Westminster. There will be considerable interest in Cardiff and Edinburgh right now I think!

Quite the opposite in Scotland I think. Remember the DUP’s endgame is to vandalise a process that it believes undermines the province’s place within the UK. In Edinburgh, the SNP is interested in looking like a nation-state government in waiting and prefers to try to look like a good international citizen. Generally this means they like showing up at international events at taxpayers’ expense even when they have no business being there. But it does also mean they prefer to paint Westminster as reckless and themselves as responsible international citizens. It’s very unlikely they would seek to do anything that could be said to breach international law.

Unionists are playing a dangerous game here. If they keep looking like they’re the ones collapsing power sharing it will in time increase interest in different solutions to a so far intractable problem. Among those possible solutions is a border poll (that said, Northern Ireland within the Republic would inevitably continue to operate under a similar devolved, power-sharing arrangement as today).

They probably chose the worst day UK-wise to announce this as GB will be focused on energy prices.
