Brexit Supporting Journalists Admit It's Been a 'Failure' | LBC
Dec 3, 2025 | James O'Brien turns your attention back to the European Union as he considers whether the 'winds of change are blowing in the face of Brexit'.
Tory peer Lord Finkelstein writes in The Times, 'Logical step for Labour is to reverse Brexit'. This comes as Leave supporting columnists admit that Brexit has been a 'failure' as a respected economic body say it has reduced the UK's GDP per person by 6%-8%.
James takes aim at the Brexit-supporting media and argues that 'Project Fear' was not extreme enough.
This is where schadenfreude should kick in! But feeling that would be more than a little mean. So I shall refrain from revelling in it. I am, however, very pleased that I am, and always have been, on the right side of history when it comes to Brexit. I was dead nuts AGAINST Brexit from the very start. I said then that Brexit was MADNESS, and MADNESS it has proved to be.
The only relevant question now is this: How the hell are we going to be able to extricate ourselves from this ridiculous, stupid, and suicidal move. — © Mark Alexander

'It Would Be a Disaster': Juncker Warns against Far-Right Rule in Europe
Oct 9, 2025 | Former European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker tells Andrew Marr “life would be easier without Brexit.”

He also warns against the rise of the far-right, saying that these movements are not in line with 'European traditions'.

Nigel Farage’s Reform Party Compared to 1930s Fascists — Michael Heseltine’s Scathing Attack
Oct 8, 2025 | In an extraordinary intervention, Lord Michael Heseltine delivers a brutal warning about Nigel Farage’s Reform Party — comparing its populist rhetoric to the rise of fascism in 1930s Europe.
As British politics slides deeper into division, Heseltine stands alone, urging the country to remember history before it’s too late.
While others shouted, one man spoke sense. Michael Heseltine - the statesman Britain forgot it needed - stood tall this conference season, reminding us what courage and decency sound like.
A montage of truth, conviction, and class.
The Conservative Party has to look to Wales for common sense! Heseltine is a proud Welshman. — © Mark Alexander

Sep 14, 2025 | "Where the hell you will find the people to build your houses, to serve you the coffee, to be your taxi drivers, to be your truck drivers?"
The idea that there are a high number of Albanians in UK prisons was a lie to convince British people to leave the EU, says Albanian Prime Minister Edi Rama.

No Prospect of UK Rejoining EU in My Lifetime, Says Starmer’s Reset Negotiator
THE GUARDIN: Comments by Nick Thomas-Symonds underline view in top government circles despite thaw in relations with Brussels
Britain will not rejoin the EU in the foreseeable future, according to the minister who has piloted Keir Starmer’s recent reset of European relations.
Nick Thomas-Symonds said he could not see the country re-entering the bloc in his lifetime, despite the thaw in continental relations that he has helped bring about.
Asked whether he could conceive of Brexit being reversed within such a timescale, Thomas-Symonds told the Guardian’s Politics Weekly podcast: “I can’t. What I can say is that the work I have been doing with the democratic mandate from the 2024 general election is building a closer, more constructive relationship.”
He added: “What I’m about now, having reset the relationship, is building this new strategic partnership.” » | Kiran Stacey Policy editor | Friday, September 12, 2025
Who is this joker? He talks a load of bollocks! Clearly, he has no understanding of geopolitics or economics? To come to such a ridiculous and erroneous conclusion is tantamount to showing the world that he is totally and utterly clueless. — © Mark Alexander

EU Willing to Rework Brexit Deal, Says Top German in Brussels
THE TELEGRAPH: War over Britain’s departure is ‘definitely’ over, says Manfred Weber, leader of largest group in European Parliament
The EU is willing to negotiate a better, mutually beneficial trade deal with Britain, one of Brussels’ most powerful conservatives has said.
Manfred Weber is president of the influential centre-Right European People’s Party (EPP), which counts 13 prime ministers among its membership, including Friedrich Merz, the German chancellor.
Mr Weber, the centre-Right Bavarian MEP who leads the largest group in the European Parliament, was once a fierce critic of Brexit. However, he told The Telegraph the EU’s Brexit war with Britain was over, in a sign that Sir Keir Starmer could push for a renegotiation of the reset deal agreed in May.
The Government will be cautious about any concessions the EU could seek after the bloc previously cautioned Britain against any “cherry-picking” – attempting to gain the benefits of single market membership without the obligations.
In the reset deal, Sir Keir agreed to follow EU rules, aligning with European food standards and submitting to the European Court of Justice in exchange for the freedom to export goods with fewer customs checks. » | James Crisp, European Editor, in Berlin | Sunday, August 31, 2025
