THE SHAKERS AND MOVERS

I am trying to build a list of companies who have announced firm plans to move part or all of their operations into the EU. See it HERE

To try and keep track of some of the more asinine comments by Brexiteers, I've started a list that you can see HERE

BREXIT PREP

The EU publish notices to stakeholders HERE to advise what will happen when the UK becomes a third country. It's sobering.

BREXIT BAROMETER

Bloomberg are running a Brexit barometer, an index, showing the impact of the separation process on the U.K., made up of indicators for employment, inflation, growth and uncertainty. The higher the number the healthier the economy and vice versa. You can see it HERE. At the moment June 24th 2019 it’s -5.5 having fallen from a high of 51.6 in September last year.

WOLCHOVER

The Wolchover Action Group is behind a challenge to the legality of the Article 50 notification. They have a website that you can see HERE

EUROMYTHS

The EU has a website specifically to counter the rubbish printed about them. Note it's in English since this is purely a British problem. No other nation is as gullible. See it HERE

Link to a website (HERE) with examples of fake EU scare stories that have appeared in UK newspapers over the past twenty years

HOW NEWSPAPERS LIED

CAN BREXIT BE STOPPED

Jon Danzig on how Brexit can be stopped (HERE)

EUROTRAK

Should the United Kingdom join the European Union or stay out of the European Union? See the latest polling HERE. These mainly YouGov polls and date from February 2020.

EUREF2 Poll of Polls

This is a poll based on the average share of the vote for ‘Leave’ and ‘Remain’ in the six most recent polls of how people would vote if they were to be presented once again with the choice of either leaving the EU or remaining a member. HERE

WHAT THE UK THINKS ABOUT BREXIT

YouGov have been running polls more or less continuously tracking if people think the referendum decision was right or wrong. For most of 2017 the majority still believed it was right. But now there seems to be a change of opinion as the problems become clear. In more than 82 polls going back to July 2017 all but one show a majority of voters now think the decision was WRONG. You can check the latest HERE

POLLING

If there was a second referendum on Brexit how would you vote? See the latest polling HERE. These polls are by various different pollsters carried out in different ways so quite a wide variation but interesting nonetheless.

ABOUT THIS BLOG

We do not believe the arguments made before the referendum about the benefits of EU membership were wrong even though they were rejected by voters. The government's white paper on Brexit says a successful EU is vital for the UK. To make it successful the UK needs to be a full member and to work for change from the inside. This is our belief.
