The only people who want Brexit reopened are people who want it undone. That is simply not happening. So, what's the point. There is no clever wheeze or argument that will persuade us that opening our borders to 450m people is a good idea.

Spain was essentially a former failed state that received vast amounts of structural funds and a boon from tourism. The consequences of EU membership were almost all positive. That was never the case for the UK which paid £bns into the EU budget every year. Brexit just is.

Just so I'm clear, if everyone in downtown LA suddenly turned up armed with an AR-15 the second amendment types and the NRA would be cool with that right? In opposing government overreach? You're all very quiet.

For decades the NRA and other gun nuts told us that their guns were to protect us all from a tyrannical government. So a tyrannical government is here, they are all sitting on their asses, and the people who want gun control have taken to the streets to defy the tyrannical government instead.

Yeah I mean this is a genuinely fantastic development. Modular nuclear reactors are smaller, less dangerous, easier to deploy.

You're Dutch so I'll be blunt. You've literally just had your government collapsed by Geert Wilders, a pseudo-white nationalist with a history of islamophobia. The UK has a huge non-white population, many of whom occupy the highest roles in the land. You are decades behind.

I'd imagine Australian government is going to be publicly asking some very serious questions of the White House. Given the World Cup is supposed to hosted in LA, there are going to be some answers needed on why a reporter doing her job, clearly identified, was attacked by law enforcement.

The EU is not the UKs home. It never was. That doesn't mean closer economic ties with our largest trading partner aren't sensible, and that is what the government is doing.

The far right will, of course, treat the Paul Doyle case very differently from one where the accused is darker-skinned or foreign or both. The rest of us must not. That’s kind of the point.

After missing the Brexit reset debate in the Commons because the lazy feckless oaf was on holiday in France, Farage has done one media appearance and then left to attend a Cryptocurrency conference in Las Vegas. My dear voters of Clacton, why do you keep voting for this charlatan?

Correct. The UK wants Maastricht - free movement of goods - alone. Why should we show solidarity with a foreign bloc that lectured us for five years about how awful & terrible a country & a people we are. Starmer will smile & say the right things, but its cold transactionalism.

And he did sod all to stop it. He is useless. On the UK, deep sigh, we have a Labour government not even through its first year of a five year mandate. The idea we've fallen to facism is comical Worry about France before us petal. If RN wins the Presidential elections, the EU is royally stuffed.

Because they've decided that it will take four years of hammering the point that it's him or Farage. And the UK, overall, hates Farage.

The UK, as a post-european state, remains about 20 years ahead of European countries when it comes to rights, diversity and inclusion. One of the reasons for me not wanting to return to the bloc, nor allow increased mobility. Why would we want to import regressive politics?

Today, the IMF published its report and upregulated UK growth, giving it one of the highest rates of growth in the G7. EU Ultras in tears.

The UK has a life expectancy of 10 years, & NI is about to leave the union, courtesy of the chap who thinks Kneecap were right to display the flag of Hezbollah. EU ultraism. Bad for the brain and soul. And Brexit's fine, we keep EU nationals at arms length while getting towards Maastricht on trade
