Co-founders of The Full Brexit are pleased to be part of a new grassroots campaign supporting Brexit and the subsequent transformation of British society. It is called "Leave - Fight - Transform: The LeFT Campaign", and launched today with a letter and accompanying article in The Morning Star. (The Remain and Reform astroturf campaign, "Another Europe is Possible", launched in The Guardian, of course.) Below is LeFT's founding statement and how you can get involved, by signin

Peter Oborne has recently recanted his support for Brexit. His arguments show there is no conservative case for leaving the EU.

“Lexit is dead. Democracy is alive.” So declared former big pharma spokesman and failed Labour leadership contender Owen Smith MP at the end of his Guardian column last week. Scions of the Labour Right, like David Miliband, gleefully tweeted Smith’s piece, cheering the death of the “unyielding job-cutting, standard-shredding, equality-reducing, regulation-shaving race to the bottom” Brexit.

A response to criticisms of our recent London event from some on the left, and an invitation to further debate The Full Brexit co-organised the Transforming Britain After Brexit tour because we wanted to open up a space for discussion, within and beyond the Left, over Brexit and the nature of the European Union.

The room was packed, with many people sitting on the floor, and dozens more viewing the event via live stream in an overflow room. The publisher has been through three print runs and all copies have been sold out. There was a lively debate and the huge turnout suggests that there is enormous appetite for left critique of, and leadership against, the EU. If you missed t

The Full Brexit contributor Professor Danny Nicol has written an interesting piece in a debate over his project on "Judicial Power and the Left". He takes issue with a critic's call for the left to "embrace a more legal, and more international, constitutionalism…to achieve lasting social change", pointing out that this approach has actually entrenched "a permanently neoliberal, privatised economy in which workers’ bargaining power is minimal". This is in tune with Professor M

The Full Brexit's Lee Jones has appeared alongside Dr Lisa Mckenzie on the Renegade Inc. programme, "Grandparents of Brexit", which aired on RT yesterday. The show took a deep dive into the roots of the Leave vote, discussing the disconnect between working-class voters and the political establishment. #left #workingclass #representation #brexit #leave #neoliberalism

Our proposal to drop the backstop in the Brexit negotiations over Ireland (see Proposal #6 Irish Border) has elicited some predictably intemperate and inaccurate responses. Leading the charge, John O’Brennan, Jean Monnet Professor of European Integration at Maynooth University, took to Twitter to complain that our argument was ”bizarrely ill-informed” and demonstrated ”how British elites understand little or nothing about Ireland (and don't want to waste time trying to gain u
