  1. Hopefully we are seeing a normalisation of relations with our nearest neighbour.

    Starmer seems to be a reasonable PM and with the US shitting the bed at the moment, we might hopefully see the UK looking to improve relations again to the EU

  2. Yeah it would be great to see a closer relationship between the EU and UK. While I don’t absolutely love Starmer, he does seem much more level headed than some of the Tory PMs we’ve had over the last decade or so.

    I’m just petrified of a UK election anytime soon and the likes of Farage or Reform gaining power. Especially now that the US currently seems to be on a road to self-destruction.

  3. It’s really nice to have an actual adult running things next door. With the tories in charge for so long I had almost forgotten what that felt like.

    I wonder if we could get that chud JD Vance over to accept a few awards for services to Anglo-Irish relations and European Unity?

  4. Hi lads, Brit here I hope you don’t mind me weighing in, just have a question for you.

    What would ideal relations between our two countries look like in your opinion?

    Obviously goes without saying regardless of what happens, we are bound by geography so will need to cooperate on some level, but I’m well aware of our (terrible) history towards you and how it affects perceptions today which is totally understandable.

    But yes. Back in the day we really were as bad towards you as the Russians are towards the Ukrainians now, but i’d like to think those dark days are behind us now, but how can we make relations even better for both sides? Russia and its relationship with its neighbours is the perfect example of the worst possible outcome of an former imperial power adjusting to the modern world, insofar that they just haven’t adjusted and their neighbours are suffering for it.

    I do support a United ireland as I think do most Brits who know the subject, to me it’s an unnatural creation that’s had it’s day, and I’m no self hating Brit. Most Brits are very fond of you truth be told even if many of us can be ignorant to the history.

    The leader of the UK’s opposition Labour Party, Keir Starmer, on Wednesday declared his backing for what he described as **Israel’s “right” to totally cut power and water supplies to Palestinians in Gaza.**
    Speaking to British broadcaster LBC, Starmer, the frontrunner to win the next general election, placed responsibility for the situation in Israel and Palestine entirely on Hamas.
    **His comments came as Israel unleashed what Gaza residents have described as the most intense bombing campaign in recent memory, with at least 1,055 Palestinians killed so far this week.**

  6. I think Starmer is doing a lot better internationally than he is domestically. Which I guess is much better than his predecessors who didn’t manage either.
