If you really need an explanation why this is funny: Brexit was about how unfair and nasty the EU was being towards GB. And now they realised that, oh wait, actually, there were quite a few benefits, can we please have those back? And we’ll even make do without the special treatment, like we got while we were in the EU!
That’s a bit funny to me, if I’m being brutally honest.
To be clear: I’d be all for the UK rejoining the EU (you can even keep your currency, my treat). Would be better for both sides. I’m not laughing at the British people, I’m laughing at the political class.
Good job, old chap.

No one said there were no benefits. What a facile argument. Do better.

EU is winning the race to the bottom. Pretty fucking ironic.
If the EU is winning the race to the bottom, the UK wouldn’t be so desperate to join.
Unless you agree the UK already is at rock bottom.
The only politicians desperate to rejoin have no hope of being in power to do so
All I know is that your people are the ones asking for a “deal” with nothing in return. 🤷♀️
We should have defaulted to EFTA, the Tories couldn’t accept that so they chose a harder Brexit than necessary.
Labour is just negotiating areas we can align on without sacrificing ability to regulate key competitive areas.
