We all know Brexit’s to blame for the crisis facing UK steel – it’s time for politicians to be honest and reverse it | Simon Jenkins
www.theguardian.com
With British industry faltering, the excuse that the public wants this is risible. Parliament must force Starmer to act, says Guardian columnist Simon Jenkins

Is this guy right? Should Brexit be reversed?

The article links to some interesting YouGov statistics about current British opinion on Brexit. For example, a majority of Brits support rejoining the EU:

A chart showing some statistics regarding British opinion towards the EU. For example, 36% of Brits apparently "strongly support" rejoining the EU, 20% somewhat support rejoining the EU, 10% don't know if they support rejoining the EU, 10% somewhat oppose rejoining the EU, and 24% strongly oppose rejoining the EU. The rest of the stats in this image can be seen on YouGov's website, in an article posted on June 19th, 2025.

    Yes that’s a fair point about trying to rejoin with a slim majority in favour. The majority could flip after some time, potentially.

    Realistically I don’t think the UK is going to rejoin the EU for the next few years, but I think it could well become a more popular political idea over time, as the effects of Brexit become more apparent. People might start to feel it in their pockets more. So maybe the UK will end up rejoining in the next 20, 30, 40 years. Who knows though.
