@CtrlOptDel No.
Neither was the UK "half in, half out, nor did it have to do permanent negotiatons or other whatever... " = instead it was a full member, which demanded opt outs, starting with Thatcher and the "Brit bargain" = hence UK paid about one third of its membership fee only (those £ 350 million never existed), one could say, that the UK had a EU membership "made to measure", up to the last minute, when Cameron was demanding another opt out for the UK = to stop FOM for all Continental EUropeans only, not though for the Brits...while telling the EUs negotiators, if they don't give him what's wanted, they'll start a Brexit referendum 🙄 😂
Even now, being a 3rd country, UK is misbehaving as usual by not implementing properly any of the deals, it signed with the EU27 4,5 years ago.
The EUs Commission started an infringement procedure against the UK recently, as it still hasn't implemented properly any of the deals, it signed with the EU27.
Starmer got informed about that subject, when visiting the EU27.
Right now there are various EUs member states, which wouldn't even take UKs application form for EU membership.
Don't forget, Brexit did cost the EU27 member states € millions as well, getting prepared for Brexit without having a say in it (of course), supply chains and infrastructure had to be rerouted etc.. you really think, that any of the EU27 will change that quickly again, only because UKs electorate changed its mind again, and then at the next GE, Brexit 2.0 might happen again?
Not wanted, sorry..
Decisions made have consequences...

@ERG173 OK.
But the EU27 are a pragmatic, rule based organisation/union, hence the UK has to follow EUs joining criteria article 49 TEU fully, this time without any opt outs/exceptions etc, including paying the full EUs membership fee this time...
The UK never paid its full membership fee due to the "Brit bargain" since Thatcher, instead it paid about one third of it only /not though those "£ 350 million " per week..
Main issue will be to fulfill the needed applying criteria, like a national debt of max 55-60 %, the UKs national debt is at 101,2 % recently...that will take ages to reduce it to the needed figures..
As it's mandatory for ALL NEW EU member states, to join the Schengen area and adapt the €/Euro, as soon as the new EU member state has a stabile enough economy...
The EU27 changed some joining criteria due to the financial crisis in 2008, hence those "national debt criteria"..
It'll be a very long way back for the UK, this is why Starmer stated "not in his lifetime", as he is 62, he knows about the issues..
