EU's veneer of democracy wearing even thinner >> Elected governments will have their European Union voting rights suspended if they fail to adhere to the principle of "sincere co-operation", a potentially wide-ranging licence to cancel any country's disagreement over a new EU law or policy. Is this what Andy Burnham believes we should rejoin?

13 EU countries call for 'deep cleaning' of faulty EU laws - yet, here in Britain, some hopeless MPs and officials say "sign us up to more EU laws". Will Andy Burnham assert some common sense and steer clear of crushing EU over-regulation?

Austria is leading a new alliance on regulatory simplification, pushing for a systematic review of how new rules would impact businesses and a "deep cleaning" of existing rules to be conducted during an "implementation and consolidation year."

Study shows Brexit will save the UK a massive £525 billion in EU budget contributions over the coming decades, compared to staying in.

"Brexit has been far better for Britain than you might think: Rejoiners like to pretend the economic figures all go their way. But could the UK be sitting on a £525bn fiscal bonanza? ..."

Even the EU's biggest supporters are now recognising its failings. The Lib Dems have called the EU's new border control Entry Exit System "bungled" and "malfunctioning".

Oddly, they still think the bungling EU should be given back powers to govern our trade and write our laws.

Leave voters recognised the EU's disruptive incompetence long ago. Good to see others catching up, at last!

How the EU reset fails Burnham's ‘Makerfield Test’ - Labour’s next leader is about to betray his local voters over links to the EU, just weeks after being elected ... writes DM director Stuart Coster for Global Britain.

Given the EU reset is such a glaringly inept deal,, one that certainly fails his ‘Makerfield Test', why is Burnham allowing himself to be railroaded into it?

Ten years ago today, voters imposed an extraordinary and historic democratic revolution on Britain's political establishment - instructing that they take back control from the remote European Union and govern Britain, once again.

Reverberations from that seismic vote are still being felt today, as many in Westminster and Whitehall, unable to see beyond Brussels, refused to respect that democratic demand - and are now, still, trying to undermine it any way they can.

Yet, ten years on, despite their obsessive campaign of negativity, there's absolutely no evidence in real data of any negative impact on UK growth due to Brexit. In fact, UK GDP is doing better than fellow G7 economies still in the EU single market.

A simple, clear reality - and one so glaring that it's driving those EU obsessives crazy.

All continuity Remainers have ever been able to point to is fantasy losses from imaginary 'counterfactuals'. A weak response, compared to real data and the big Brexit prizes of genuine democracy and global opportunity in a fast-changing world; one that is much faster-moving than the EU.

Brexit has worked, by delivering democracy, and it has also proved itself robust in difficult economic times, including a global pandemic, inflation and energy shocks.

We now know, beyond doubt, that the scare stories of the Remain campaign never happened.

If Westminster and Whitehall can summon up the courage to govern, rather than continue trying to hand decisions back to the EU all over again, the best of Brexit is still to come.
