I think there are many things the British public would be willing to accept because it makes their lives better. For example a Labour government might adopt a number of EU regulations on the pollution of our rivers, lakes and seas. The Water companies are already deeply despised for the way they have been dumping raw sewage and using failing infrastructure as an excuse. The very infrastructure they have been saying for years is the reason for our high water bills. While the Brexiteers have for years blamed the EU for every ill in this country, Labour could blame those private companies for the damage they have caused and use the EU as an example of how they can give us clean water. We don't have to say it's from the EU just that we are copying what they do. When people see an improvement they don't really care where it came from. As more and more things are copied people will begin to ask why are the EU coming up with better ideas than us. This will change the negative impression of the EU that has been spread for years which will then lead to people been open to other changes.

_Among the topics discussed, the two pondered how Sir Keir Starmer would negotiate the challenge of entering back into a trade agreement with the European Union_ Entering back? There is a recently signed trade agreement between the UK and the EU: the TCA. Without any *negotiation-option* available for the UK, it's merely the *implementation* of the TCA that is *up for review* in 2026. European Commission Vice-President Maros Sefcovic already told the UK back in 2023 that it would be just that: reviewing the implementation of the deal rather than wholesale changes. Mr Sefcovic said customs checks at the border would likely remain but stressed the TCA had not been used to its “full potential”. He said the review doesn’t constitute a commitment to reopen the TCA or to negotiate supplementary agreements. “The TCA will simply not be able to recreate any kind of notion of the Single Market.” In other words: no more cherry-picking for the UK.

Andrew showed his Brexit colours there. The far right did have improved results in the EU election, but the centre and left still have overall control. Stop the rhetoric, be real professional journalists, and stick with the facts.

@alana8863 Ай бұрын

Some people need support. You might one day, and then you'd be outraged at how badly you were being treated. Yes, the fertility rate means either some immigration (but not as high as the Tories or Reform would have - that's what the rich who support those 'parties' want to create mass unemployment). So less immigration. No PFI contracts - it was a bad idea when the Tories brought it in, and it was a bad idea when Labour continued with it. Fortunately, Labour has learned from that. Reform, on the other hand, being financed by the very rich, may well have to pay them back if ever they got into government. Labour was too Right-wing under Blair. Again, they oppose deregulation, but it's a Right-wing idea supported by those who got rich from the money markets - Farage and Sunak.

The UK is not a massive market, stop you're imperial delusion. You're small, and we're probably stronger without you. The UK needs the EU, not the opposite. We should not give anything to the uk without freedom of movement, Scottish independence, all.
