UK must reverse Brexit if Donald Trump wins election. With the prospect of a brutal global trade war looming, critics of the UK’s current Brexit deal have said the country needs to rejoin the customs union, single market or the bloc itself to shield itself from the devastating fallout

  1. This is just cope. There’s no means by which to quickly ‘reverse Brexit’. Even if there was a strong public demand for it, it would take up to a decade to organise, with no guarantee of getting it over the line.

    We made our bed, we have to lie in it.

  2. UK has been pushed into a position where this wouldn’t really help, people don’t want to hear it but the best bet is for the UK to throw its hat in with China

  3. Had our chance to leave the Uk, made a cunt of that. Voted to stay in EU, removed from that against our will. Now the country with possibly the most political sway over the world has went with ignorance and stupidity, much like ourselves. What an embarrassment.

  4. There’s no such thing as ‘reversing Brexit’.

    The UK could, if it wanted, re-apply to join the EU. But it would have to wait in line for years if not decades, it would have to enter under current entry requirements; meaning no rebate or opt-out of the Euro or Schengen, and existing EU member states would have to unanimously approve our re-admission.

    Our old EU deal; rebate, opt-outs and all, wasn’t acceptable to a majority of those who voted in the EU referendum. And after the mess we’ve caused, what chance is there of the EU unanimously voting us back in? It’s just not a realistic supposition.

    People were warned at the time that leaving the EU wasn’t like an election, where you could get another go in a few years if you regreted your vote. This is our bed, and we have to lie in it. Anything else is just fantasy at this point.

  5. The only way that happens if the EU let the UK in with the deal we had in 2016 or the UK agrees to all the conditions the EU would have and set. Other than that it will be years of negotiations far to long to have any impact on fending of the Trump presidency.

    And the EU is under no obligation, and I imagine also very unwilling to do that, and the UK would be the same.

  6. Man… I’ve been feeling this the entire us election cycle, but today more than ever : we really need to step up our game.

    I’m fed up of the USA getting to vote morons into power who then control world policies. Palestinians and Ukrainians will suffer the most and immediately. But then what of us? Like prices aren’t bad enough already. What if Putin swallows Ukraine and retaliates as promised?

    We’re just a wee shite country now, feels like. We should, us US allies, never have left them to grow so fat and influencial.

    They shouldn’t get to ruin global warming or endanger NATO for the rest of us. It’s insanity.

    Hegemony just sucks. You’d think being in Europe (the landmass) we would feel safer and like we won’t be as affected.

    We need to rejoin the EU for sure. Literally because we can’t let the us yank our chain like that forever. We can’t let them drag us under the mud after them.

    Idk what to do 😭 is there a way to really push for a return to the EU?!

  7. Do the people who write this garbage not realise that the tariffs will be levied against the eu too.

  8. Labour are terrified of doing the obvious, even the Liberals have dropped their EU support now despite half of the UK nations rejecting brexit outright.

    You can see the next few years laid out very obviously, Keithist Labour won’t do a thing to stop it either.

  9. The EU won’t allow it anyway and why the hell should they. The UK has made its bed, the bastards.

  10. If the UK is outside the EU then we are not big enough, nor strong enough to survive 4 more years.

  11. Listen I would looove for this to happen but it’s not. Well not within our lifetime anyway.

  12. >reverse Brexit

    Well unionists go on till they’re blue in the face referendums are generational.

  13. It wont happend, but in case it happens, don’t think EU will allow you to join same as you were before, you will be consider as a new country joining, so for starters you wont have £ anymore… and who knows what else other countries will ask, because will be a votation to allow UK to join and I guess some countries will ask stupid things some others not.

    I bet Spain will ask for Gibraltar hahah

  14. You know most if not all the people who voted for Brexit, they adore Trump. They think the UK will become best friends with Trump, and we will have a good deal.

    They are not aware that Trump doesn’t give a shit about the UK. And that he will squash it if needed.
