Starmer admits Brexit “broke the consensus”. He just can’t bring himself to say what must come next.

The fundamental question on the EU-UK reset👇 is do we want to live within European norms or continue to fantasize we are a swash-buckling empire building nation of rabid capitalists with a side hussle as an American AI data centre & aircraft carrier. Tough call.
Whether by accident or design, the EU is making Britain decide whether it is truly, deeply, viscerally an 'all-in' European state, and not some half-arsed "let's-try-and-get-what-we-can-out-of-it" state.

It's going to be a long old road.
You know what? I really don't think it is. Great domestic political posturing, but Labour have no plans to go beyond the 'reset' agenda, certainly none the EU are likely to accept. This will be talk to little if any action.

The Deputy Prime Minister and Former Foreign Secretary recognises that our future lies with our European Neighbours. Now, it's time to turn those words into action.

When the Telegraph admits Brexit is a disaster, the ground is moving. The question is: why isn’t Starmer?

The US-Russia 28 point "peace" plan was a recipe for Russia to recover, rearm and renew its attacks. The US must be able to hold Russia to commitments that it makes, or else the West should expect further aggression in the future. 1/2

#RefUK’s former Welsh leader Nathan Gill was sentenced to ten years behind bars for taking bribes to promote Putin’s propaganda in the European Parliament.

We need an independent judicial public inquiry to establish the scope of the problem.

Ahead of tomorrow's budget, readers have written to their local newspapers to say that Brexit has failed. Their letters reminded the public and policymakers of the economic damage done by Brexit.

🔥 Rachel Reeves says there’s a “hole” in the public finances.

A new decade-long Brexit study quantifies it:

A 6–8% hit to GDP

That's £180bn-£240bn a year

It means less tax revenue and so less money for everything.

Brexit made Britain MUCH poorer.

But, the foreign state that benefits most from Brexit inaction is Putin’s Russia.
