When France and Germany applied pressure on Putin over Syria ceasefire, May was nowhere. Brexit is looking like ticket to irrelevance.

What’s more, staying in EU would help us create fairer society too - by managing globalisation better than we could if we go solo.

From Macron to Trump, it’s clear Brexit is putting UK on back foot on global stage. Before referendum we were punching above our weight.

Best way of protecting ourselves against Trump’s erratic decisions is to work with EU - and simplest way to do that is not to quit.

May is starting to see EU’s value in time of Putin and Trump. But we won’t be as able to stand up for our interests if Brexit goes ahead.

Loss of UK judge on international court is early sign that Leave promises of greater international influence after Brexit were deluded.

Brexiters say quitting EU will help us be a global player. We have more influence by virtue of our EU membership. Quitting means less power.

While US president is trying to rip up Iran nuclear deal, EU is standing up for peace and order. All the more reason to stay close to it.

While it’s good to see UK finally making some positive comments about our partners, one then wonders why on earth we are leaving.

Fear of confronting Brexiters over ECJ and budget payments keeps government from painting positive picture of future UK-EU relations.

Why no Brexit deal is the worst possible deal for Britain.

The “Brexit election” that barely mentioned Brexit. May’s vanishing landslide. Trump, Macron and not much Boris. All captured in gif form.
