When a KC is prepared to make the public statement "not in my lifetime" ...

The idea of the Hubble Sphere was proposed in 1929 and confirmed in the 1990's through direct observed.

No new physics at all, all part of Einstein's Theory of General Relativity

I've always worried about that. It's such a concrete statement from a KC.

Not reversal, Norway model.

I really didn't think it would be that hard to understand. The EU are tired of perfidious Albion expecting them to fix problems the UK creates. They really don’t need UK more than the UK needs them. The UK has taken up a huge amount of their bandwidth with brexit, for what?!

Someone give the UK government a slap and knock some sense into them please

They'll also probably want to see how the UK political psychodrama plays out at the next GE.

It's so tiresome that I think it will need a change of personnel on the EU side for them to even consider getting stuck back in. They're in no hurry to relitigate the whole thing while they have bigger fish to fry.

It was in that vein. But the EU are so very tired of all this. The TCA is as about as good as it gets bar some minor tinkering unless there's a strong commitment for close alignment. Which there isn't. UK put itself in this position.

Everything Brussels really thinks about the UK
Mostly, the Brussels bubble does not consider the UK too much. That rather amorphous group of those working in and around the institutions whether for government or other organisations, that…

Concede a niche ask and you open the doors for other 3rd countries to start asking for the same. Can of worms for EU.

I'm specifically, and clearly, talking about FoM, which Youth Mobility has nothing to do with despite the name.

What would be the point? It'd miss out on the main benefits for the nation as a whole.
December 1, 2025 at 6:12 PM
You seriously can't see the implication?!
December 1, 2025 at 5:05 PM
Strategically it's a fair point, but I don't blame them for like they've had their fingers burned. They had to waste years dealing with a belligerent UK.
December 1, 2025 at 5:04 PM
I meant the lack of it from the UK over the past 10 years.

And if Reform were to win the next GE ...!
