"one day realise"

Yep fair enough. I'd accept that the UK was never full-heartedly signed up to the objectives of the Treaty of Rome.
The question is, was it necessary to first properly leave in order to realise what we were missing?

I'd hazard a guess that many if not most travellers leaving the UK for the EU just before Christmas, have family on the Continent, were not Brexit voters, and were well aware of what could happen.

Correction, an estimated £75 to £100 million. And if that means he has the choice of no longer needing to risk his health in a ring again then fair play .

I disagree and I find the notion of a tarnished legacy patronising to Joshua.

Boxers fight for the prize. It's their living and if some fool reckons he's better than you and he's willing to pay you $50 million to prove him wrong... well I would never fault a fighter for not turning it down.

There should be something similar for scientists. Doctors, maybe. If Trump gets sick and needs treatment, let RFK Jr look after him, as he seems to know so much. Then compare against someone who's spent decades treating people.

I haven't felt like indulging in too much Brexitschadenfreude but this one feels right.
As for the EU deliberately picking on the UK, well they're not, but if they were, we'd really be f*cked.

Goodwin is clearly desperate for a Musk retweet.

UK version could happen - perhaps starting at £5k/year.

Probably the most reassuring thing I've seen in days.
Most, if not all, that is great in the US has been built on immigration and you would expect Americans to acknowlwdge this. But sometimes it's easy to imagine that chart is inversed...
I'd like to see the same chart for the UK and r/Europe too.

Hi Rutger, will there be an unedited version that we can watch/listen to?

We're going to need categories, I think. By country, by party by sector etc. I mean just the US techbro category is stacked.

and maybe not for the rest of this Parliament.
