  2. Brexit was the dumbest, most manipulated mistake in world politics ever.

  3. If this is the UK getting all the good without paying into the EU, the other Member States will never agree to it

  5. Will never be as good as the deal we had before, but it’s better than nothing, I suppose.

  6. The sooner we ban Facebook, X, etc. The sooner we can secure our democracies.

  9. I eagerly await the Brexiteers saying how this is a betrayal of Brexit. Before spouting on about the will of the people after they are asked for the 19337283636241st time what Brexit actually is.

  10. Serious question. What happened to the brexiters? Do they still have the same convictions? Do the feel responsable of the economic and social impact of brexit? Or do they have a scapegoat?

  12. I see a lot of people shitting on his “little deals” but the fact is in the space of a few weeks he’s got India, US and now Europe all moving towards something. Things are actually getting done.

    I might not agree with everything he’s doing but at least he’s actually doing something. I think this is why the UK has struggled for a few years, no leader could do anything without upsetting one wing of their party so became paralysed by trying to appease everyone.

  13. Oh, wonderful. Feels like the UK finally got some competent representation.

  15. I’m sure the usual suspects will find a way to spin how this is bad, and say we should be doing more trade with Trump and building relations with our enemies.

  16. Sounds like we’ve just gave away fishing rights to have youngsters travel to Europe slightly easier.

    Am I missing something worthwhile? Queues at the airport lessened?

  17. UK needs to come back to the EU. We all want this. Let’s just start with a clean sheet. And learn a lesson from what happened and why it happened.

  19. It just shows how long Russia has been manipulating our views behind the scenes. Granted our weak politicians didn’t help much either.

  20. Feels like a turning point. 
    If Starmer pulls this off, it could really smooth things out with the EU. 
    About time someone tried to fix the mess.

  22. Here’s a breakdown of the agreements so far, or lack thereof,

    -So the ‘breakthrough’ is to prolong EU fishing rights (by 12 years) which will no doubt anger Brexit supporters.

    -Additionally there is an agreement that UK citizens can use the e-passport gates.

    -Ongoing discussions on the youth mobility scheme seem stuck

    -There seems some substance to the defense partnership with UK defense firms effectively being treated as european companies in terms of priority. Given the rearmanant of europe this is meaningful (though economically not massive)

    -the UK will align certain food safety and animal welfare standards with the EU to facilitate trade, though this has sparked debates over regulatory sovereignty. Again this will anger Brexiters, though is just a great example that it would get a say on these standards thus the UK would have had more sovereignty by being a member.

  24. Hope this actually brings some stability, been tired of the constant back and forth.

  25. We should have just announced Brexit and not changed anything – the gullible pricks would have been happy and be able to gloat, whilst everyone else could carry on as normal.

  27. I just want to be able to order things from the UK without having to pay import tax an custom-fees again.
    Smaller companies in the UK must have lost an insane amount of businesses when free trade disappeared.

  28. This website is a cancer on mobile. Tried to RTFA but ads kept moving the text around. Guess I don’t need to know.
