'Why I changed my mind on leaving EU’ - Peter Oborne debates Melissa Kite on Brexit

The urge to leave and the desire to remain, to paraphrase one of our guests, they are both elements of the same country... sometimes even at war within ourselves.
(Subscribe: bit.ly/C4_News_Subscribe)
Peter Oborne and Melissa Kite join the programme. Peter Oborne today published an article that reads like a roadmap to Damascus:
"Brexit has paralysed the system. It has turned Britain into a laughing stock. And it is certain to make us poorer and to lead to lower incomes and lost jobs. We Brexiteers would be wise to acknowledge all this."
We asked him why he'd changed his mind about Brexit?

The world has changed in those 2 years. Negotiating trade deals with the US will likely result in a bad outcome for us. Brexit is utter garbage and will cause real damage economically. Particularly manufacturing and the agrifood industries.

Amazing reading the comments to this post. So many Brexit supporters who in the past would have worshipped the ground Oborne walked on, now reduced to desperately discrediting him. Brexiteers are like a cult religion where no one is allowed to admit the truth and as soon as one of their own comes out and says "we are being asked to drink poisoned kool-aid" the entire cult will mindlessly gang up on the individual.

Eric T Watson the question is “A Hard border” and Varadker has said it will only be in country checks and this has a precedent within the EU with Norway and Sweden so the EU policy is No Hard Border.Also Ireland had a different corporation tax which is not compliant with the EU.So Varadker can do what he says

Experts were able to estimate what the consequences of different kinds of Brexit would be, but many people chose to ignore the experts because their expert testimony didn't support the outcome they wanted. Apart from 1 or 2 large scale choices the outcome of the negotiations was never going to differ by very much from what was expected. But now those choices have been made and negotiations have been completed it's time to let the public vote on whether they like the reality of Brexit rather than the fantasy they were offered in 2016.

[@seraphina985]

@@frze5645 A lot less than the £1 trillion in tax revenue the government has only had to spend because passporting and EU open skies amongst others allow those companies to do buisness in the EU while paying their taxes and employing their workers in the UK. This is all money those companies could only ever have earned by setting up a subsidiary abroad and paying all their taxes and salaries over there without the EU, I am not even factoring in trade that is only competitive because of the lack of tariffs this is just the money that would be legally impossible for the UK to earn without EU membership which is currently standing at around £100 billion per year. Fact is that while the UK economy makes much much more than the cost of membership out of it the UK government also makes around 200% of the membership fee in tax revenue based on a conservative estimate. Granted tory governments usually don't invest this money in infrastructure as wealthy supporters need to be paid off with pork barrel projects but the profit is there and without it there would have been less money for investment in the UK as you can be damn sure investment would be cut before pork barrel projects.

Less than 10% GDP. All our trade suffers EU Tariffs and conditions. This is why no deal is best . The EU has de-industrialized Britain, France, Italy and Spain and is doing the same to the Netherlands, Poland and Hungary Whilst creaming customs union taxes from European citizens on goods from outside the EU and controlling investment in each and every European Nation to the benefit of the expanding EU gravy train. Unemployment has increased in Europe over the last 20 years and the poverty gap has grown larger. Germany is also now feeling the pinch owing to a stagnation of incomes and rising property prices.

[@Flugzeug101]

@Lady on google It is a bit too easy to put the blame on Mrs May. It is that half of the the British people that voted leave that now can`t decide what they actually meant by it. We know by now what Brexit is not supposed to mean: Not the deal, but also not no deal, nor any version of the deal. And it is Britain that leaves Europe up in the air. We know what Mrs May wants. The problem is not her, but the fact that nobody knows what the UK wants.

[@Flugzeug101]

@Lady on google And a no deal Brexit would be accepted by the EU. Fair enough. The problem is: You can only speak for yourself. The UK as a whole said " no" to "no deal". Like to everything else.

[@Flugzeug101]

@Lady on google that might l be the case, or not , my dear. But as you should know, a poll in the news means absolutely nothing. Or shall the EU finalize a no deal Brexit, because they heard there was a poll in the UK in favor of that? You can`t be that naive , can you? Fact is: Your country, which is all about "self-determination" put itself into a terrible mess. And if you know the way out: Theresas job will soon be vacant...

[@Flugzeug101]

@Lady on google Misunderstanding my dear. In fact I am sure there is a lot of Brits by now ready to leave the EU in whatever fashion , because they feel embarrassed and humiliated and can`t stand the endless talk and the endless drama anymore. I don`t hold any malice against them or you. But that s why I wouldn`t wish for your wishes to come true. Because , when you said: I wanna leave and start all over again, you nailed it better than you might know. Because a No Deal Brexit would reset the UK to a starting point right at the gras roots. And I don`t think you fully understand, what that would mean. And I don`t claim that I fully understand because you `d be stepping on some uncharted territory. But if it really happened you and most other "Brexiteers" would be shocked . That s what I think. And at that point you would understand, why your politicians tried so desperately to avoid that situation . Not because they are traitors, but because they know more about the disaster on the horizon. "Project fear" you say? Well, fear is not a bad thing. It keeps us from jumping down tall buildings etc... And rightly so.

It could be also argued that we are in a mess because of David Cameron calling a referendum and 17.4 million voting to leave. Those 17.4 m do not represent a single unchanging viewpoint for a single utopian view of Brexit and in all likelihood, very few of them had even heard of what WTO is. There is not even consensus of what Brexit even should look like. It is one thing to leave but where are you going to or heading towards...So, in the end, the 17.4 million that is often quoted by the more extreme of the Brexiteers as if that figure does represent a consensus viewpoint is quite clearly false. Interestingly also in the US, a constitutional change of this magnitude would require a 2/3rds majority.

@Lady on google well, one can't just have one single vote and ignore every bit of information that comes after either. It is, of course true, that repeating the exact same vote - much like May's deal - is pointless, the voters need to make up their minds before voting. However, there is good reason to hold another, different vote, in which the public can express their consent for either a no-deal Brexit with a choice of hard borders in the Irish Sea or on the island of Ireland or a "soft, Norwegian" Brexit or revoking Art50 altogether. On that, maybe the Scots should be given the choice to split from the UK on condition, after all, the independence referendum was influenced by Scotland no longer being in the EU, if they had voted on independence.

17.4m leave. 16.1 remain. So 2016 was 1.4m vote majority. Brexit supporters always quote the bigger number as if that was the majority. Much like £350m a week sign on a bus was inflated for effect. It ignored the several billion annually rebated. Negotiated by Thatcher. 1.4m is not huge if you look at the % turn out on the referendum and then by age banding. Young voters under voted on a per capita basis. As they tend to do in all elections. So blame Blair that can be placed at Cambridge Analytica’s hacking of FB accounts to plume in fake news directly into peoples new feeds. Directed by Steve Bannon (Trump’s strategy guy) and funded by the Mercer family, a US billionaire family. With hard right Republican ideals. 6 years later. What has changed that even U.K. politicians can’t say has not? Circa 2m voters have died (majority were elderly and they were pro Brexit leaning especially in England and Covid was also a significant factor). Circa 3m young people that could not vote then can vote now. The minority of young that did vote leave and the majority that didn’t vote at all, are all very much more aware now of what they lost. Access to EU education, health, jobs and visa free benefits. Explains the massive surge in EU passport applications by U.K. nationals. Especially the young. The don’t want to do the jobs that 1m EU nationals used to do and don’t want to come back for now. What would NI and Scotland do given a 2nd chance? Massive rejoin vote is the short answer in both cases. Why? Cor many they would prefer to maintain the Union. Denied that prospect, the Scottish Independence Referendum and NI boarder referendum outcomes are highly unpredictable. That means years more of devision and uncertainty. What would Wales do, given they voted leave. I would predict a massive vote to rejoin for all the above reasons and because the Welsh people have realised that the level of EU funding it used ti receive was huge and will not be replaced by GB taxpayers. What would England voter do? Business would massively back a rejoin or a version of the Norway/Switzerland deals. It’s all about economics and business leaders regard Brexit as a trade war with yourself. Young voters, especially English, would turn out in unprecedented numbers and vote to rejoin. What could the cost be? No annual rebate would be the smallest price. Market access fees (like Norway and Switzerland pay). At a minimum. Say £15-20bn a year. As opposed to £8pm net before. But it would not end there. Taxation alignment. ECJ and EU regs on food, energy etc. The U.K. would be lucky to retain its central bank and the pound as it had before. France and Germany would drive a hard bargain is my guess. They both want a slice of London’s financial services market share. It is also worth say that the EU rebate is equivalent to what GB sends to NI to maintain its economy.

[@batcollins3714]

Repeat after me. It is not in the UK remit to "rejoin". You go to the back of the queue and re-apply.

If people can't do that in public without being shamed or ridiculed then we are screwed because if there is one thing that will always be true about us as human beings, it's that we can get stuff wrong if we make decisions without enough information. You can hear in the voice of Brexiteers that they know that the arguments about economics and well being are clearly not on their side. They only have one thing left - nationalism and their narrow conception of "British identity". As I heard Geoffrey Cox say explicitly the other day, they hate the idea that young Brits feel like Europeans now. They can't stand it. They have this outdated view of Britain as an island nation is splendid isolation (apart from the countries that it conquered and subjugated of course).

I still despise the EU for many of the same reasons as then. Namely that it is a totally undemocratic institution ruled by unelected European commissioners. We now have a toothless EU parliament that can neither create laws nor repeal laws. We have had a string of commissioners such as Neil Kinnock that basked in and was prepared to gloss over the vast net of corruption. My latest hate it the copyright laws that the EU council is about to formalise which will kill the internet along with what remains of free speach. Whether or not we are in the EU or not, we will be part of that. As you can tell, I am no lover of the EU. I have just recognised that we will now gain little by being outside and still having to be ruled by them. I voted with the majority to leave. There was no agreement about what leave actually meant though. Your leave was probably quite different from my leave. I don't really think that I really knew what my leave actually meant; I just wanted out. I believe that rather than belittling ourselves any farther by begging for an extension of Article 50, we should just unilaterally revoke it and then decide where we are going to go in our own time.

The Remainer that wants to stay in the EU because it is the Paradise created by God on Earth, where do I find your counterpart delusional conspiracy theorist.

Brexit was to be a complete exit not one leg in and one leg out. I voted for a clean break not something worse than remaining. These politicians are pushing for something that is so bad neither Remain or Brexit voters would accept it. A peoples vote is the answer under thew circumstances. Choices Remain or No Deal which must not be advisory but binding in law!!!!

The world is a connected place, if you want all out ask Mr. Musk to join his car. The point is to find a negotiated middle ground and so far UK does not accept what it can not get and is still unable to come up and agree to sth that is possible.
