Re: Britain outside the EU
No one's realistically talking about re-joining the EU in the forseeable future.

But as people's disposable income is squeezed, I'm sure we'll start to read more articles like this one, ironically from the pro-Brexit City AM.

EU membership vs lost trade: Forget extra NHS cash, Brexit costs Britain £173m every week, or £1m per hour

Studying the latest Office for National Statistics (ONS) data and comparing the UK Government’s annual contributions to the EU versus lost EU exports by examining data for 2018, the last year before pre-Brexit preparations skewed data, and comparing it with 2021 figures, it turns out that far from bringing in £350m a week to lavish on the NHS, the UK as a whole is £9bn out of pocket.
