It’s one damned thing after another. As Keir Starmer is discovering, government, like life, can feel like a fusillade of events, each coming faster than the one before. If it’s not a cabinet minister resigning over a past fraud conviction, it’s MPs voting for assisted dying – and that’s just in one day. Through that blizzard of news, it can be hard to make out the lasting changes in the landscape – even those that have profound implications for our place in the world.

Brexit is to the UK like tariffs are to the USA. The bulk of voters in both countries didn’t understand what they were voting for or what the implications were.
I pray EU leaders realize the world needs a strong Europe. At the very least their existence as they know it needs a strong Europe.
Which is why Putin appears to be doing his level best to make that not happen.
Conservatives and the far right are at the helm right now thanks to Von Der Leyen… I had high hopes but it’s probably not gonna happen…

I’m out of the loop, what did she do?
She formed a new Commission following the European elections, a big chunk of it is conservative and right wing politicians: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Von_der_Leyen_Commission_II
unfortunately I don’t think Bre-admittance would be nearly as easy as Brexit
This is great, but not totally consistent. I assume that’s why you didn’t say Bre-xit. Br-admittance is also not ideal though…I think you’ve struck a fair compromise. Good job!
To build may have to be the slow and laborious task of years. To destroy can be the thoughtless act of a single day.

The US isn’t really a stable and reliable partner any more. And now that we’re not in the EU we’re less of an asset for the US. I’m definitely in favour of closer ties to Europe again.
Unless China wants to work something out. I’m easy.
I think the EU will also be forced to get closer to China when the US is going more in the “America first” direction. If they will introduce massive tarifs the EU probably has to look for other countries to trade with.
You want to work things out with a brutal regime like China? A country who has getting revenge on Britain for the “century of humiliation” as one of their driving goals?
Could have just stopped after the fourth word tbh 🤷
Sorry UK, no more fence for you to sit on.
