A montage of truth, conviction, and class.

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

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

Brexit - Championed by Farage - Has Been a Significant Factor in Creating This Mess

Michael Lambert: The World Is in Chaos but There May Be an Answer

Aug 16, 2025 | The world seems to be in chaos. In the US, the UK, Europe and many other countries’ economies are under pressure, societies are fracturing, and trust in politics is at rock bottom.

In the USA, Donald Trump is causing chaos over his tariffs and other policies whilst in the UK, Brexit has destined the economy to seemingly endless decline.

There is a cost of living crisis in many other countries but China, which has experienced an economic miracle over the past forty years, seems to faring better than most and set to overtake the US as the strongest economy in the world.

Climate change continues to be one of the great problems facing humanity whilst both Trump and the Reform UK claim it is either a hoax or and exaggerated threat.

The steady movement of wealth to a very small number of very rich people also threatens the prosperity of the world.

However, there may be a solution in AI or artificial intelligence. This will transform most businesses and will rapidly spread to all commercial and government activities. It will be resisted but will prevail. AI will manage affairs more efficiently and without corruption. In time it will replace politicians.

Britannia Unchained by Brexit SOLD OFF to USA

Jul 31, 2025 | £40bn LOST. Animal Welfare Downgraded. U.S. Corporations in Charge.

While the UK public is being distracted by talk of Brexit resets and animal welfare ‘carve-outs,’ the truth is far more alarming.

Keir Starmer has signed away Britain’s sovereignty to Trump’s America without a vote in Parliament. Using Henry VIII powers, his government is now rewriting UK laws by stealth, allowing U.S. agribusiness standards into our food system, including deregulated chicken handling (SI 2025/776) and backsliding on vital protections.

Meanwhile, a Judicial Review has just been granted to challenge this dangerous deregulation — proving we’re not imagining it, and we are not alone.
