🎯 Douglas Alexander: “In trade policy, geography still matters. The Channel is just 21 miles wide. Our largest trading partner is and will remain the European Union in the years to come." The EU is our closest partner. EU membership is a no-brainer.

Brexit stopped us from trading easily with our nearest partner. The best way to fix that? EU membership. It's a no-brainer. 🎯 Emily Maitlis: "It's definitely better to have the whole of the EU market that can trade readily."

Andy Burnham is right to say that the majority of Brits want closer ties with Europe. You know what most Brits also want? EU membership.

I'm gobsmacked by ministers' failure to defend Burnham's claim about Russian interference in Brexit (and Tories' claim that he has no proof of it) when there were well-documented troll farms, funded by Russia, spewing out aggressive pro-Brexit attacks on social media at the time
