    Over these recent months the I think it’s quite clear where we should be focusing our efforts. I can only hope we build a much stronger relationship with the EU.

    Do I personally want us to rejoin, definitely!

    Do I think we will? Not any time soon.

    I certainly think having a relationship like the Swiss or Norway should be a good starting point.

      Honestly, if the referendum was held after the invasion of Ukraine, pretty sure Remain would have won by a comfortable margin

    I love the photo imagery there. Starmer being the bashful belle of the ball, courted first by Trump and now by Macron… Oh how will he ever choose!

    It started with a shoulder touch, but blossomed into something else!

    Yeah unfortunately Keir only has eyes for whatever the right wing press will approve of, so he will be ignoring Bendy Bananas Europe and leaning into DOGE pilled America.
