The future of the EU and the UK, post-Brexit

why, on a Houston bbs, do we care about Brexit?

football team is third tier. sad.

 

"It's like we're living in the Dickens era, where the streets are going to be littered with rubbish and the lights are going to be off … it's like this kind of dystopian nightmare"

12 years of conservative rule plus a Brexit they pushed, but a return to Labor will doom Britain to shithole status!! Hell, I'm surprised those unemployed rednecks haven't hung Farrage for treason and malpractice.

Very classy resignation speech from Sunak and victory speech by Starmer.

 

One of the biggest criticisms I've heard of Starmer is that he is really boring. I wish the same could be said for our political leaders..

 

Now that's how you pass the torch........very classy and humble

 

Obama should have been spending that time with Kamala Harris

 

If you like inflation and uncontrolled mass migration under the Tories, Labor will be that times ten.

Things are going to get very bad in the UK.
