The Mayor of London has spoken: β€œMy ultimate goal is to reverse Brexit.” That’s right β€” Sadiq Khan wants to climb back into the EU through the window Britain just shattered. And if that means stomping on the results of the biggest democratic vote in UK history? So be it β€” he brought his orthopaedic boots.

🧻 Flush the Referendum, We’re Going to Brussels!

Let’s take a moment to appreciate the gall here. Millions voted Leave. The country endured years of chaos, economic recalibration, political musical chairs β€” and now Sadiq Khan, from his high-rise of capital city smugness, wants to quietly undo the whole thing.

He’s not even pretending anymore. This isn’t about β€œhealing divisions” or β€œlistening to voters.” It’s about rewinding history because the result didn’t vibe with his worldview.

Never mind that the rest of the UK β€” the towns, the regions, the so-called β€œleft behind” β€” voted with clarity. Khan’s plan? Rejoin the single market β€œin the meantime” and eventually boomerang us back to full EU membership β€” like Brexit was just a badly parked car he’ll quietly reverse when no one’s looking.

Here’s the real punchline: this is the guy who constantly lectures on respecting democratic values. But apparently, those values have a shelf life β€” six years, tops β€” if they clash with metropolitan elitism.

London voted Remain. Khan is the mayor of London. Fair enough.

But he’s also a public servant in the United Kingdom. And openly plotting to reverse a national referendum doesn’t sound like leadership β€” it sounds like narrating your own coup in The Guardian op-ed section.

Brexit happened. It was messy. But it was also democratic. If you want to change that, try winning another referendum β€” not bypassing one with press releases and policy creep.

Is reversing Brexit just a political fantasy β€” or a warning shot to the idea that referendums even matter anymore? What’s next: best-of-three? Should every vote come with a β€œreturn to sender” form? Drop your righteous rage or well-honed cynicism in the blog comments. πŸ’¬πŸ—³οΈ
