Would the EU take Britain back?

Progressive-leaning outlets emphasize widespread public regret about the Brexit decision and frame the prospect of reunification optimistically, using hopeful language about possible reconciliation.

Centrist outlets provide factual reporting on the shift in British public opinion regarding Brexit and note both the economic consequences of departure and how the EU has been transformed by intervening international events.

Conservative-leaning outlets either defend the Brexit decision despite current regret and emphasize that rejoining would be politically unthinkable, or acknowledge trade barriers while arguing that reversing course faces insurmountable practical obstacles.
