Corbynmania

As Corbynmania took off, a paper cup he had drunk from at a rally was sold on eBay for £51.

2016, Rosa Prince, Comrade Corbyn: A Very Unlikely Coup:

Neither he, nor anyone else, had counted on 'Corbynmania' sweeping the Labour ranks as a growing base of young activists got fired up by an antiausterity message and the unassuming, authentic character promoting it.

(UK politics, neologism) Enthusiasm for Jeremy Corbyn (born 1949), British socialist politician elected leader of the Labour Party in 2015.

2016 February 20, Timothy Garton Ash, “Here’s how to argue with a Brexiter – and win”, in The Guardian, title:

Trump and the Tory Brexiters are cut from the same cloth.

2016 March 2, Deborah Orr, “What do Trump and Brexiters have in common? A disregard for all but themselves”, in The Guardian:

The proposal, made ahead of Thursday's crucial vote on Britain's continued EU membership, is designed to deflect accusations that Brexiters - as supporters of Britain's exit from the EU are popularly known - have used crude anti-immigrant and racist slogans to pollute the political debate during the EU referendum campaign and may have even indirectly inspired last week's murder of Mrs Jo Cox, a local opposition MP and fervent migration defender.

remainer

The government’s “bullish” and “macho” approach to Brexit should not stop Conservative backbenchers from tabling amendments to the crucial repeal bill, a leading Tory remainer has said.

2017 September 4, “End ‘macho’ Brexit posturing, Anna Soubry urges May”, in The Guardian:

The reason this once-devout remainer doggedly sticks to these lines is obvious: even if opinion polling suggests that residual popular belief in Brexit is now ebbing away, the Labour party has to secure the support of people who voted leave in 2016, switched from Labour to the Tories in 2019, and would supposedly greet any talk of revisiting the basics of Brexit with anger and dismay.

2023 January 1, John Harris, “The wreckage of Brexit is all around us. How long can our politicians indulge in denial?”, in The Guardian:

(UK politics) Alternative letter-case form of Remainer


Regrexit

Blend of regret + Brexit, said to have been coined on 24 June 2016 by one Carl Gardner in a Twitter post (see quotations) following the United Kingdom European Union membership referendum on 23 June 2016.

Labour has one chance now. To emerge within weeks as Britain's centrist "Regrexit Unionist" party. If it did that, even I might forgive it.

2016 June 24, Carl Gardner (@carlgardner), Twitter, archived from the original on 2016-11-02:

There are leave voters who confessed to reporters that they never thought their side would actually win, that their vote had only ever been intended as a protest, presumed to be safe because surely everyone else would vote the other way. […] A Twitter user came up with a new coinage for this rapid form of buyer's remorse: Regrexit. […] When some of those leave voters see that Brexit has not brought back the good jobs of old, that housing is still in desperately short supply and that a migrant family still lives round the corner, the Regrexit sentiment will grow.

2016 June 24, Jonathan Freedland, “For the 48%, this was a day of despair: Soon we will become little Britain. The signs of Regrexit are cold comfort for those of us who voted to remain.”, in The Guardian, London, archived from the original on 2016-09-13, subtitle:

From reports, the UK is moving rapidly from Brexit to Regrexit.

2016 June 26, Abhidevananda <abhide...@sarkarverse.org>, “Re: Brexit”, in uk.philosophy.humanism (Usenet), message-ID <t9ybz.34812$LR2.4319@fx26.fr7>:

In the spirit of Brexit, these attitudes even have their own media-friendly nickname: Bregret or Regrexit.

2016 June 27, Adam Taylor, “Bregret? Regrexit? Don't bet on it.”, in The Washington Post, archived from the original on 2016-10-06:

There were many reasons for the Leave vote, and Regrexit is now gaining momentum.

2016 June 29, Anna Wallis, “Brexit lessons here”, in Wanganui Chronicle:

Within a few days, petitions to re-do the vote emerged with more than four million signatures, known as 'Regrexit.'

2017, Markus M.L. Crepaz, European Democracies, Routledge, →ISBN:

There's a chance, especially with the 'Regrexit' sentiment surfacing, that the U.K. will still be part of the EU in two years.

Remoaner

2023 September 11, David Maddox, “Remoaner group who handed out EU flags at BBC Proms named and shamed after funding plea”, in Daily Express:

For others, it’s the Blob or the “remoaner elite”, made up of the civil service, the BBC, the universities, the unions: anyone who, along with desperate refugees in small boats, can be blamed for standing between Britain and the promised Brexit nirvana.

2023 May 19, Jonathan Freedland, “They’re openly saying it: Brexit has failed. But what comes next may be very dark indeed”, in The Guardian:

Today, the Sun launches Remoaner Watch – starting with leading figures from the world of politics and the media (plus the entire BBC) for whom a love of all things EU still burns bright.

2022 June 18, Grant Rollings, “The Sun’s Remoaner Watch is on the lookout for evidence of Remoanery”, in The Sun:

(UK politics, derogatory) A Remainer; one who complains about or rejects the outcome of the 2016 referendum on the UK's membership of the European Union.

2021, Otto English, Fake History, page 39:

(UK politics) Someone who supports the United Kingdom remaining within the European Union.


hard Brexit

Without question now, Britain is not ready for the negotiations, having spent the past year largely avoiding a real debate on the topic, other than a vague argument over the merits of a “hard Brexit” (as a clean break from the European Union is known), versus a “soft Brexit,” which would require more compromise.

2017 June 9, Steven Erlanger, Katrin Benhold, Stephen Castle, “The British Election That Somehow Made Brexit Even Harder”, in The New York Times:

Büsingen was mentioned amid talk of Britain following the example of Switzerland: outside the EU but with access to its single market through bilateral agreements that accept, among other things, freedom of movement for EU citizens. That all ended abruptly when British prime minister Theresa May steered the UK towards a hard Brexit, promising to prune back EU ties to a minimum to ensure maximum domestic control over borders.

2017 June 23, Derek Scally, “What can the North learn from a small German-Swiss town?”, in The Irish Times:

The hard Brexit case that leaving the customs union need not harm British industry, agriculture, distribution and commerce has been overwhelmingly dismissed by all these areas of the economy.

2019 March 11, Simon Jenkins, “If May loses Tuesday’s Brexit vote, she must back a customs union or go”, in The Guardian:

(UK politics) The withdrawal of the United Kingdom both from the European Union and from European institutions (e.g. the European single market or the European Union Customs Union).


soft Brexit

The debate over the right terms and conditions for Britain’s departure from the European Union is often simplified into two clashing concepts: a soft Brexit and a hard one. The first tends to be favoured by those who voted Remain in the 2016 referendum, the second by those who voted Leave. Yet what is the real, practical difference between the two? And can bits of both be combined to some degree?

2018 June 25, J. P., “How a soft Brexit differs from a hard one”, in The Economist:

Labour's vision for a soft Brexit would have seen Britain remain closely aligned with the EU customs, tariff and regulatory regimes and the continent's single market. Such a relationship would have meant that Britain would continue to allow EU migrants to live and work in the United Kingdom, while withdrawing from the EU legislature.

2019 February 28, William Booth, Karla Adam, “UK Parliament votes down Labour's bid for a soft Brexit”, in New Zealand Herald:

(UK politics) The (hypothetical) withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union while generally remaining in European institutions (e.g. the European single market or customs union).

The only question I am hearing wherever I go at the moment – apart from, ‘Have you been sacked from Top Gear yet for only getting nine million viewers a week?’ – is, are you a Brexiteer or a Bremainer? Are you in or out?

2016 June 11, Chris Evans, “BMW’s new mini monster is here. Get set for some... M-azing pace!”, in The Daily Mail:

(UK politics) Someone in favour of Britain remaining within the European Union.

Over tea and scones, an older Pinochet told the Iron Lady that opinion polls predicted that Chile could have its first socialist president since 1973.

From cake + -ism, referring to have one's cake and eat it too.

2017, The New European, "The delusions of Cakeism", Bonnie Greer, 15 September 2017

The letter is the latest blatant example of British cakeism.

Corbynomics

The trouble is, the choice is a dismal one. If you think Corbynomics is wacky, take a look at Trumponomics.

2015 December 15, Matthew Lynn, "Whoever wins the US presidency, the economy is going to be the loser", The Daily Telegraph

Piecing together Corbynomics is difficult, not least because it has evolved during Mr Corbyn’s time in charge of Labour. The gulf between the Labour leadership’s past positions and the milder proposals in the manifesto means that enormous uncertainty hangs over what a Corbyn-led government would do in office.

2018 May 17, “Corbynomics would change Britain—but not in the way most people think”, in The Economist:

The Labour leadership’s calculation is that Corbynomics couched in these terms – as a fiscal remedy to social ills - is a proposition the public agrees with. May’s faltering performance will only boost their confidence.

2019 March 6, Patrick Maguire, “The Conservatives are losing on knife crime, and three other lessons from this week’s PMQs”, in New Statesman:

(UK politics) The economic ideas and policies of British politician Jeremy Corbyn.

"king's work," in this case temple service).

1972, Hans Dieter Evers, Monks, Priests and Peasants: A Study of Buddhism and Social Structure in Central Ceylon:

Worshippers at the devale would hand over a small offering of betel and incense sticks to the kapurala and tell him their problems.

Corbynism

Two accounts of Corbynism – by journalists Gabriel Pogrund and Patrick Maguire and the Guardian’s Owen Jones – unpick Labour’s rapid descent from the optimism of ‘Oh, Jeremy Corbyn’ to landslide defeat at the polls[.]

2020 September 13, John Harris, “Left Out: The Inside Story of Labour Under Corbyn; This Land: The Story of a Movement - review”, in The Observer, →ISSN:

Corbynism was as hopeful as it was hopeless. From his 2015 leadership election victory to the following general election, it offered a screen on to which people, tired of both technocratic and insipid New Labour wannabies and austerity, projected their hopes and fears. People queued round the block to hear him speak and then voted for him in droves.

2022 June 8, Neal Lawson, “Keir Starmer, you have a golden opportunity. Now try a bit of Corbynism”, in The Guardian, →ISSN:

(UK politics) The political philosophy exemplified by Jeremy Corbyn of the British Labour Party, characterised by antiausterity and renationalization policies.

Glorious Revolution

1964, Michael G. Hall, Lawrence H. Leder, Michael Kammen, Prologue, The Glorious Revolution in America: Documents on the Colonial Crisis of 1689, Institute of Early American History and Culture, University of North Carolina Press, page 4,
In 1688 New York and New Jersey were added to the Dominion of New England, and there is evidence that Pennsylvania and even Maryland were to be next. But before these imperial plans could mature, James II was toppled from the throne by the Glorious Revolution.

2007, Nick Harding, Hanover and the British Empire, 1700-1837, Boydell & Brewer (The Boydell Press), page 15,
Britain's union with Hanover was made possible by the Glorious Revolution of 1688.

The defection of the old 'country' Whigs paved the way for the prominence of a new generation of Whigs after 1690 (the Junto Whigs), whose views and attitudes were considerably different from those Whigs who had served their political apprenticeship before the Glorious Revolution.

2012, Barry Coward, The Stuart Age: England, 1603-1714, 4th edition, Taylor & Francis (Routledge), page 367:

Article 50

Article 50 of the Lisbon treaty sets out how an EU country might voluntarily leave the union. The wording is vague, almost as if the drafters thought it unlikely it would ever come into play.

2016 June 25, Jennifer Rankin, Julian Borger, Mark Rice-Oxley, “What is article 50 and why is it so central to the Brexit debate?”, in The Guardian:

The Scottish cross-bench peer who wrote Article 50 - the procedure by which the UK would leave the EU - believed it was "not irrevocable". In a BBC interview, Lord Kerr of Kinlochard said the UK could choose to stay in the EU even after exit negotiations had begun.

2016 November 3, Glenn Campbell, “Article 50 author Lord Kerr says Brexit not inevitable”, in BBC News:

Today, therefore, I am writing to give effect to the democratic decision of the people of the United Kingdom. I hereby notify the European Council in accordance with Article 50 (2) of the Treaty on European Union of the United Kingdom’s intention to withdraw from the European Union.

2017 March 29, Theresa May, Theresa May’s Letter Invoking Article 50:

If the Liberal Democrats were to secure a majority in December, they would revoke Article 50, cancelling Brexit.

2019 November 24, Stephen Wynn-Davies, “Hastings and Rye candidates outline their stances on Brexit”, in The Hastings Observer:

(European politics) Article 50 of the Treaty of Lisbon which holds the EU's exit clause, allowing and setting out rules for countries leaving the European Union.
