In some ways the UK fishing industry was symbolic of the insanity of Brexit. It’s an industry that relies on European markets, on European labour and on European cooperation, but imagines itself in a nostalgic world of the 50s, independent and buccaneering.

I had a productive call with Ursula von der Leyen this morning. We’re ready to build on our free trade relationship, bolster economic security, and work side-by-side on shared defence and security challenges.
When Canada and the European Union build together, our futures are stronger.

Five years since Brexit.
Five years of economic and political damage. Five years of clarity what a mistake Brexit has been - for both sides.
But one thing is clear:
We miss you. And our door remains open.

Thank you, dear Keir Starmer, for hosting this important meeting.
Two key messages:
First, we need a lasting peace in Ukraine.
But it can only be achieved through strength ↓

Gaining single-market status or acceding to Europe via #Article49 would not be a defeat for the UK.
It would be an achievement, like for any other third country, a cause for celebration.
People and pols should not be afraid to say so.

💥 Well how about that.
After years of Brexiteers saying we had to leave the EU to avoid being forced into a European army…
… it turns out that Brits are fine with the idea. With the UK explicitly included.
A plurality of Tory voters support it - and even a fair chunk of Reform.
How times change…

1. Here are just a few of the ways in which Starmer’s Labour Party seems determined to alienate its voters and lose the next election. As they pile up, you have to keep pinching yourself and asking, “what the hell is it playing at?” 🧵
