The “commitment “ you refer to was presented by the Tory media as dissatisfaction. None of this was measured. It was quite simply a Tory strategy fo personal gain , to retain Tory power, and the National Interest least of all.

In 1975, Labour's position on the EEC was not unified, with a split between left and right factions caused by anti-market sentiments, leading to confusion and dissent within the party. Exactly like David Cameron did, Harold Wilson opted for a national referendum to address party unity issues and to present the Labour Party as more democratic. This confusion remains today despite a shift towards supporting EEC membership in the late 1980s under Neil Kinnock's leadership. Both major parties have deep-seated divisions over Europe, impacting uk governance and its approach to Brexit. So, rejoining under Labour or the Tories seems unlikely.

Since Brexit, the UK has signed trade deals and agreements in principle with about 70 countries and one with the EU.

Sorry to write this but Brexit cannot be reversed. As many Europeans, I am unwilling to let the UK back in the EU, at least with their former positions, opt-outs, rebates and privileges. Never going to happen. First of all, before we, Europeans, even consider accepting negotiations to begin, we would have to be sure any future British governments wouldn’t try to Brexit again, a few years after being back. That sad experience has already cost us a fortune in time and money so if there is any prospect of happening again, the door will stay closed. This raises the question of trust: after years of insults and refusals of actually doing what was decided and written in international treaties, we have little trust in any British government. The UK is currently seen as too unreliable to be given permission to be at the table again. The EU project is based on consensus and confidence all the member states will do what has been collectively decided. And finally, let’s be blunt: would the British people agree to adopt the euro, enter the Schengen area and truly become members of a union that has always been as political as it is an economic one? Would the UK really accept the true nature of the European project instead of trying to get more than the rest of us while rejecting any solidarity? I do understand the regret. I really do. But Brexit was really a one way trip. There is no “return route”. Only a path open to countries that really want to become member of the family with their two feet in. And I am pretty sure our British cousins are far from considering themselves as Europeans amongst others.

It's always automatically assumed that the other party involved will move along with whatever the UK desires. So once again it needs to be mentioned: it takes two to tango and the EU is done with dancing to the UK's screeching and unpleasant tune. For a dance to succeed, both dance partners need to be of a similar level and size, complement each-other and give each-other room to manoeuvrer.

Yes brexit was totally pointless...but how damaging.......😮

The vote to leave the EU, shouldn't been just a yes or no, It should have been where you get a yes or no from all 4 parts of the country. like you need a yes or no before you can call the referendum to leave the EU.

I'm really warming to Michael O'Leary now...

Well he can't be wrong about EVERYTHING, can he?

Most of the interested parties of Brexit got what they wanted. The Conservative party didn't split and retains most of the far right vote. The UK didn't have to implement the EU Anti-Tax Avoidance Directive which would have greatly impacted an economy primarily based on the type of financial services affected by that policy. The voting public got to keep believing that all their problems were due to foreigners being mean to them and that their own way of doing things was truly superior. The non-UK based interests in Brexit got to see a weakened cohesion in the western world and a softening of the alliances opposing anti-democratic regimes. The shorting of the pount and subsequent exploitation of the lack of enforcement of standards in how private companies provide public services made a lot of money for Brexiteers too. It seems as if they achieved most of their goals.

Rob, keep showing the Tory Skull Tree - it's just perfect.

Would be a BRILLIANT advert opportunity for Labour IF they could use the famous clip from 'Wonderful Life' movie......Leaning over the bridge, the Person shouting "Get me BACK....PLEASE get me back" and Show the list of ALL the things We LOST after these Utter DESPICABLE Morons imposed 14 years of Disaster on US!

It’s ironic that the very thing they wanted more than anything, at any cost, is the very thing that’s destroyed them, just goes to prove the adage to be very careful what you wish for!

Moggy Moggy Moggy OUT OUT OUT!

The 2010's will go down as a an absolutely 'wasted decade', where we squandered our European 'perks', while the Tories squandered our money ... on a needless Brexit; then started the new decade with parties during the pandemic, and dodgy contracts for 'mates' on PPE kits not fit for purpose. And all of this was BEFORE we officially left the EU. Something that's now been estimated to be costing us £100 Billion a year! So that'll be £400 Billion poured down the 'Brexit drain' by this time next year. Off the scale wastefulness. Honestly, we deserve to be in a recession, and have no one to blame but ourselves. A country so wasteful and so arrogant deserves all it gets. And the awful thing? ....the worst is still yet to come. Regardless of who wins the next election. Because Brexit is the gift that keeps on giving to the EU......and taking from us. Our freedoms and rights being chief amongst all of this.

But...sovereignty🤣

There are no binding referenda in the UK, because all laws must be passed by the parliament. No one else. It was purely public opinion, or opinion engineered by politicians, which made it seem as if the referendum was binding and had to be honored to the letter. In fact it was always merely advisory.

Lord Pigshead Cameron is a truly unique fellow. Not only did he give us Brexit but also thought it might be good for China to run our nuclear power stations. With his mate Osborne he came up with the failure that is still failing to the present day, HS2. We should be proud that our political masters are from the best schools and universities and prove their worth daily. Cameron, May, Johnson, Truss and Sunak are all products of Oxford which leads me to wonder if there is one Oxonian capable of running a bacchanalian feat in a beer factory.

*BLUE PASSPORTS* and such *!!!!!*

Nasty Nigel does not care after his lies, he gets an EU MEP ‘pension’.

At the end of the day, you've got to blame the people of the UK, not enough wanted to educate themselves on what the EU is, the good and bad points of it, and many were blind sided by the lies from much of the right wing media and politicians. We should also remember that the UK has had a very also media when it comes to the EU for decades that have constantly told us the negatives but rarely tell us about the positives of the EU, that constant banging the drum against the EU was overtime bound to have an impact in turning a lot of the British public against the EU, and it was clear from a lot of the Brexiteers, a lot of them didn't know what they were talking about. In the end, there was no accountability on the media when it comes to facts and telling the truth, the British people don't hold the government to account on its actions, we see that with Brexit where the Tories have lied there way through Brexit and yet the British people have let them get away with that, it stands to reason that the government will do the same on other policies and fob the people off because the people don't stand up and pull them into line, that for me is a big part why this country is going down the toilet, and the signs were there before Brexit, it's just made all the worse with Brexit. But seriously, I think the real threat in the UK is the right wing media that have been very effective in poisoning peoples minds, whiles at the same time, making the British public more aggressive on many policies, they are also very effective at getting the public to fight among themselves, all with the aim of a few select elites on the right to push their agenda. I don't see things getting better in the UK any time soon until the British people change and start holding governments and the media to account on what they print and what governments promise, only for them to not deliver on those promises, or to be blunt about this, the real problem isn't the media or the governments, it's the British public where the real problem is, because everything else in the country is a reflection of the people, we like to complain about the government all the time, yet we do little to nothing to make them change to benefit the people. With all that said, I think Brexit was needed, we've let the right wing run riot for too long with their lies, we needed a cold shower of reality to wake us up, Brexit is exposing a lot of the lies from the right, and it's slowly changing public views on the EU and Brexit, but far more needs to be done before this mess is sorted, I suspect another 2 to 3 decades to really hit the right and Eurosceptics hard in the UK, then who knows, we might be able to join the EU, but that's a long way off because I can't see the EU or it's members letting us back in with how we've behaved until there's a sizeable change from the public, media and political parties in how they see the EU projects, that's likely going to take decades, if it happens at all.

The desperation demonstrated by elevating Lee to the Deputy Party leadership underlines the lack of ability to learn from past mistakes. Tory voters .... prepare for more bumps in the road - you are now well and truly in the rough.

It is an opportunity for Ireland really. They are not the poorest area in the EU and reap benefits of the growing European economy. In my view, maybe Ireland can be reunited before the UK reunions the EU. But that is disregarding all the painful and hard fought realities within the entire Irish community on both sides in the decades that passed..

2025 review is not a re negotiating, it is to see if both parties have complied with the terms and if it is worth keeping it, nothing, nothing more, and some in the EU want to scrap it all together and apply normal third countries rule to the UK. To negotiate a new deal you need to address the EU in the proper diplomatic terms and the block as to be unanimous in its will to even sit down at the negotiating table, and the TCA rules themselves "say" how it is done. Continental Law, written Law, no obscure or negotiated terms, there is no adapting terms in the EU, just the Law. "Sed Lex dura est" is the moto.

Err, yes he was, still is for that matter. That is why he fronted the official remain campaign and orchestrated that infamous leaflet sent to everyone's address outlining the reasons why we should stay. The reasons why he held the referendum in the first place, if that's what you're getting at, was only because 1) he promised it during a general election, recognising that he may well have lost said election if he hadn't and 2) he was arrogant enough to think that we'd all vote remain anyway, and so the risk of running the referendum was worthwhile.

Great video. The loss to the British people is unfathomable and will last for decades. A permanent loss that will structurally weaken the quality of lives of the Subjects living in the UK. The loss of Freedom of Movement is a major loss of our rights and liberties and at the same time increased net migrarion as retirement to EU is very difficult now and devastatingly bad for the long term of the NHS which will buckle under the weight of the increases demand on it from an ageing population that is now ageing faster due to less young workers from the EU and more retirees now losing the chance to move to the EU. At the same time now asylum seekers who previously only had one chance to apply in the EU now use UK as a second chance increasing the demand to enter the UK by asylum seekers in the EU. The whole "small boats" problem is a result of Brexit. Calling Lee Anderson "30p" is a little out of whack. I reckon "1p" is more appropriate. Great video and the quoted swearing is absolutely appropriate.

Still the Brexiteers worship Brexit ..a sample of a debate in regards to loosing our freedom to live in the EU ....ME ..."The Brexit impact has crushed the hopes of many people hoping to retire (on in some cases already retired) in the EU. As non EU citizens you need a long stay visa so have to demonstrate an income of equivalent to the minimum wage (currently 1750.00 euro) to qualifie. For this reason many who were living happily on much lower incomes have had their lives devastated by Brexit." ...............................................Brexiteer .."Get over it and move on" ................................................ME in reply " never ever get over it ...its screwed us all up including you now Only option we have is to stay in the UK god help us if Reform get in ..it will get even worse" .....................Brexiteer "it hasn't screwed me up at all. Stop being a drama queen and get on with life, you never know when it might end." worse than Labour or the Tories. We are in this mess because people like you are blinkered, you only see two parties and neither are fit for purpose." .........................................................so apparently we who are remainers are in this mess because we are all blinkered ...

It proves Cameron's failure to expel the right has cost us all dearly.

I wonder if Sunak is missing his mate Ku Klux Klanderson.

The Nondom removal has more loopholes than a knitted jumper. As such, it won't generate the intended amount - and tories are likely to point to this fact as a reason to reinstate it.

Richi Rich was rather oddly specific in saying the next GE won't be on "...May the second..." .

I think all the talk about the Reform UK windfall for the likes to Lee Anderson is at best overblown; when you consider that an MP who loses their seat gets a guaranteed salary from the government along with pension and other support as standard so that would certainly be factored in as a minimum to any offer. I would also say giving MP's a "signing on" bonus has to represent a breaking of laws and standards so would never be allowed to happen in such a crude way !!

Does the UJ literally have no laws regarding the paying of money to politicians in yhe form of campaign contributions? Here in the US we have it pretty bad, but at least we have laws on our books that require the bribery to be laundered by lonbying fims and Super PACs.
