A problem entirely of our own making.
The problem a direct result of Brexit.

And being a middle-power who rejected cooperate with others, now stuck friendless, isolated.

Getting scorched by both frying pan and the fire.
Thanks Brexiters.

The attack on jury trials by "coattail rider" former Justice Secretary David Lammy has been scrapped.

I rate this as righting a wrong.

If Burnham makes some real attempt to right the horrific inequality in this country as well?
Could be on the way to best Prime Minister ever.

Good to see in the UK -

'Green Party members have voted for councils to support the “boycott, divest and sanctions movement” and not invest in “complicit organisations”.'

Flávio Bolsonaro is bad like his father Jair Bolsonaro and and he's gonna lose in Brazil very soon. #BrazilVotes #auspol #uspol #ukpol #cnpoli #ukpol #FuckDonaldTrump

A plaintive cry dies on the wind: "Shoulda, woulda, coulda, Starmer"

What a difference one speech delivered from the heart makes.

Suddenly the future is bright. The future doesn't have to be Brexit decline.

The big debate for #bonds is whether 5% yields are a ceiling — or a new floor. The bond market has taken down more governments historically than howitzers we can only hope that it takes #Trump out asap. #auspol #ukpol #uspol #potus #10yearbonds

Only Badenoch and Lowe telling us Brexit has worked.
And "we're all better off now". (Good lord!)

---> In case you're wondering Farage did say "Brexit has failed" (his exact words).

Just two leaders who want to feed the wealthy tax crooks at YOUR and MY expense left now.

2016: Scotland voted for Remain.
Scotland still supporting Remain today is not significant.

---> Five years of Brexit disaster shows they called it right, why would they change that choice?

2016: Wales voted to Leave.
Wales supporting Rejoin today *is* significant.

New poll:
Survey conducted on 2 October 2026 on 5367 GB adults.

Majority of Brits see us "Rejoining" the EU within a decade.

In truth, that is pushing it, since it is a long process. But "Applying" to rejoin, taking that first step, is very doable.

Next week even! 😃

Will we be forced to join the Euro?

Being part of the worlds 'second currency' would make us considerably better off.
That said, it is a 'life improvement to far' for many in the UK.

In truth, nobody knows, and there has been no official public EU clarification.

We have to ask.

'Moving closer' has been the public face, but behind the scenes there has been divergence from EU alignment in our finance and banking sectors.

Not only will it cause more chaos if we Rejoin, more likely with every passing day of Brexit decline.
That duplicity hardly speaks of stability.

Whether, as some claim, Starmer did allow British bases to be used for offensive acts of war against Iran?

Or his doing "Israels work" in the partisan decision to arrest peaceful protestors as "terrorists" because Islamophobic knobhead?

It does seem to have put an X over the British Isles.
