Labour's recent welfare bill faced challenges, requiring a costly U-turn, with analysts estimating the bill from policy reversals exceeds £7bn. The Rejoin EU Party argues that re-joining the EU's single market and customs union would alleviate unnecessary economic pain. They believe the government's failure to change its Brexit stance in light of significant public support for re-joining is inexcusable. Key leaders in the party highlight the severe impact of Brexit on public finances and stress the need for international cooperation to effectively address various global challenges.
"Brexit has blown a hole in the UK public finances of around £40bn a year. The only way the government can square the circle of meeting rising demand for spending on everything from defence and education to welfare, while generating the level of economic growth needed to meet such demands, is to re-join the EU."
"It's as if we face alone a jungle of terrors; climate breakdown, economic inequality, unaffordable housing, war and mass displacement. Yet we could easily tackle these threats by working with others also facing them."
