Same then with the UK's options towards the EU. The status quo doesn't work, special deals won't happen, and halfway houses won't work. So Burnham talks rejoin. Isn't this what a PM should do? Find answers where he can. ft.com/content/b9b88216-4285โฆ

Today, we celebrate Marie Skลodowska-Curie's birthday and her remarkable achievements: the first woman to win a Nobel Prize, the first scientist to win it in two different categories, and the only laureate in two scientific fields.
Her name lives on through the EU's Marie Skลodowska-Curie Actions, supporting researchers across Europe and beyond, helping advance scientific discovery.
๐ Here's to Marie and the next generation of scientific pioneers!

The page is decorated with dried flowers and scientific illustrations, with script text reading: "Now is the time to understand more so that we may fear less".

โWe are stronger when we work together.โ
A welcome message from EU Vice-President Kaja Kallas.
As Britain and the EU work to deepen their relationship, the message from Brussels is clear: closer cooperation makes us all stronger.

Andy Burnham's proposed UKโEU deal could be a significant step towards closer European ties. European Movement UK Chair Mike Galsworthy tells The Independent why he believes it could also pave the way towards full EU membership.

For goodness sake, stop the claptrap !
It wasn't the "botched Brexit deal" which "put up frictions and barriers" - it was Brexit itself !
It's like leaving a gym, then complaining you've "botched" no longer being a member because you can't use the apparatus !

We are Europe.
From European fields to British tables, and from British farms to markets across the EU, food brings us together.ย
We share traditions, flavours and a strong trading relationship across borders.

Thatโs
65% Join the European Union
35% Stay out
When you remove donโt know, wouldnโt vote etc.
Commentators of course will charge (and fairly) that this may change a lot depending on clarifications and conditions of joiningโฆ
However, thereโs no doubting that the country is shifting hugely in mood around our relationship with our European family- and thereโs a large majority which doesnโt like the Brexit box that we are in.
New from @Ipsos_in_the_UK
How would you vote if there was a referendum on the UK applying to join the EU?
Should apply to join 56%
Should stay out 30%

1% growth outside the EU.
2% growth inside the EU.
That is 1% growth over a whole decade since the referendum.
Whereas within the EU, the UK grew at 2% per year.
#Brexit left the UK economy with a flatlining absence of GDP growth. @BenChu_ @vicderbyshire @BBCNewsnight
Victoria Derbyshire, "What did we learn about our living standards?"
Ben Chu, "1% growth over 10 years"
"We used to grow 2% every year"
That's one way of illustrating the enormous economic price Britain has paid for Brexit #RejoinEU
The OBR estimates that Brexit will leave the UK economy around 4% smaller in the long run than it would otherwise have been, with both imports and exports taking a substantial hit.
We were promised greater prosperity, more opportunities and a stronger economy outside the EU. Instead, we've added significant trade barriers with our largest trading partner during a period of extraordinary economic stagnation.
Brexit isn't responsible for every economic problem Britain faces, but it has made the challenge of improving living standards considerably harder.
And ordinary households are living with the consequences of that decision.

Any fool country can unilaterally drop its pants to more imports (the other's exports)..
Cutting (low EU level) tariffs (import standards & especially border controls) is only necessary because the UK has to now import across the much more costly regulatory (SPS) & customs borders it has against the whole world (it added 31 of the former & 28 of the latter by leaving the EU)..

Pathetic. The debate on UK-EU ties is never going away and burying your head in the sand is daily uncertainty. As I heard from multiple businesses yesterday. There is no stable baseline. And won't be. We better get used to that and stop pretending it away.
