When I was the UK’s Single Market Minister I was appalled by the excessive and bad laws and regulations the Commission drafted and tried to force through. I had to waste my time seeking to build qualified minority vote blocks to delay measures or to try to get revisions or dilutions to the harm the drafts would do.
The procedures were designed to concentrate power in the hands of the Commission. As a participating Minister I could not move my own amendment to a law but had to get the Commission to adopt the change behind the scenes if they accepted I could mobilise a blocking minority against their bad proposal.
I kept the UK Parliament informed of the main proposals but Parliament had no official role. It just had to rubber stamp anything the Council of Ministers accepted from the Commission. Thousands of bad laws got through over our long years in the Single Market. Parliament had to watch and submit.
The EU Council legislates in private to avoid scrutiny by press and public. Ministers from various states could be persuaded to back something whatever their stated views on the issue safe in the knowledge they could not be seen and heard shifting position away from a national interest.There was an irrational wish to find a compromise to legislate when it would often have been better not to do so. There was no appetite for repeal of bad past measures that were doing obvious harm,
The Commission just wanted to occupy as many areas of life and government activity as possible. To do so it usually asked leading French and German companies and their governments how they did things and then make that the only legal way to do things in their laws . It rarely thought of the needs of small business, innovators and challengers.
It was also anti US. Wherever the US was pulling ahead through new ideas the EU sought to regulate and fine the US success stories.

Good morning.
A Customs Union is designed to keep competition and innovation out at the expense of lower prices and better products and services. It also restricts the ability of the UK to negotiate trade deals of products we cannot produce ourselves. It is anti-competitive and creates internal cartels were the captive market (ie you and me) are milked for all we are worth.
It needs not repeating but we find ourselves doing it all the same, that the current PM and government is working against the national and individual interests of this country. We have witnessed recently what happens when those who act in an authoritarian manner and actively harm their nations and peoples’ interests.

Indeed you elect people to act in your interests and they do the complete reverse once elected – they gift powers away to unaccountable bodies the EU, quangos, the BoE, international organisations, charities, politically motivated judges chosen by them…
I see the King Charles has some Finding Harmony videos coming out on Prime. In the trailer he says “our children and grandchildren will judge us not on what we said but what we actually did”. Does he ever think about the vast gulf between what he himself says and what he does (in relation to his personal energy use – for multiple housing, travel, flights, helicopter use, palace heating…)
January 6, 2026
Indeed you elect people to act in your interests and they do the complete reverse once elected – they gift powers away to unaccountable bodies the EU
The one and only bloody reason Starmer and his bunch of useless MPs want to be in the SM/CU is so they can let the EU run our country because they are incapable of doing it themselves, there’s a big black cloud on the horizon and it’s not snow , the sooner this bunch of spineless jellyfish are going the better off we will be

If we are going to have a customs union with anyone it should be the US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Singapore…

“It was also anti US. Wherever the US was pulling ahead through new ideas the EU sought to regulate and fine the US success stories.”
The Whitehouse National Security Strategy of November 2025 addresses this:-
” C
Promoting European Greatness
American officials have become used to thinking about European problems in
terms of insufficient military spending and economic stagnation. There is truth to
this, but Europe’s real problems are even deeper.
Continental Europe has been losing share of global GDP—down from 25 percent
in 1990 to 14 percent today—partly owing to national and transnational regulations
that undermine creativity and industriousness.
But this economic decline is eclipsed by the real and more stark prospect of
civilizational erasure. The larger issues facing Europe include activities of the
European Union and other transnational bodies that undermine political liberty and
sovereignty, migration policies that are transforming the continent and creating
strife, censorship of free speech and suppression of political opposition, cratering
birthrates, and loss of national identities and self-confidence.
Should present trends continue, the continent will be unrecognizable in 20 years or
less. As such, it is far from obvious whether certain European countries will have
economies and militaries strong enough to remain reliable allies. Many of these
nations are currently doubling down on their present path. We want Europe to
remain European, to regain its civilizational self-confidence, and to abandon its
failed focus on regulatory suffocation.
This lack of self-confidence is most evident in Europe’s relationship with Russia.
European allies enjoy a significant hard power advantage over Russia by almost
every measure, save nuclear weapons. As a result of Russia’s war in Ukraine,
European relations with Russia are now deeply attenuated, and many Europeans
regard Russia as an existential threat. Managing European relations with Russia
will require significant U.S. diplomatic engagement, both to reestablish conditions
of strategic stability across the Eurasian landmass, and to mitigate the risk of
conflict between Russia and European states.
It is a core interest of the United States to negotiate an expeditious cessation of
hostilities in Ukraine, in order to stabilize European economies, prevent
unintended escalation or expansion of the war, and reestablish strategic stability
with Russia, as well as to enable the post-hostilities reconstruction of Ukraine to 26
The Ukraine War has had the perverse effect of increasing Europe’s, especially
Germany’s, external dependencies. Today, German chemical companies are
building some of the world’s largest processing plants in China, using Russian gas
that they cannot obtain at home. The Trump Administration finds itself at odds with
European officials who hold unrealistic expectations for the war perched in
unstable minority governments, many of which trample on basic principles of
democracy to suppress opposition. A large European majority wants peace, yet that
desire is not translated into policy, in large measure because of those governments’
subversion of democratic processes. This is strategically important to the
United States precisely because European states cannot reform themselves if they
are trapped in political crisis.
Yet Europe remains strategically and culturally vital to the United States.
Transatlantic trade remains one of the pillars of the global economy and of
American prosperity. European sectors from manufacturing to technology to
energy remain among the world’s most robust. Europe is home to cutting-edge
scientific research and world-leading cultural institutions. Not only can we not
afford to write Europe off—doing so would be self-defeating for what this strategy
aims to achieve.
American diplomacy should continue to stand up for genuine democracy, freedom
of expression, and unapologetic celebrations of European nations’ individual
character and history. America encourages its political allies in Europe to promote
this revival of spirit, and the growing influence of patriotic European parties indeed
gives cause for great optimism.
Our goal should be to help Europe correct its current trajectory. We will need a
strong Europe to help us successfully compete, and to work in concert with us to
prevent any adversary from dominating Europe.
America is, understandably, sentimentally attached to the European continent—
and, of course, to Britain and Ireland. The character of these countries is also
strategically important because we count upon creative, capable, confident,
democratic allies to establish conditions of stability and security. We want to work
with aligned countries that want to restore their former greatness. Over the long term, it is more than plausible that within a few decades at the latest,
certain NATO members will become majority non-European. As such, it is an open
question whether they will view their place in the world, or their alliance with the
United States, in the same way as those who signed the NATO charter.
Our broad policy for Europe should prioritize:
• Reestablishing conditions of stability within Europe and strategic stability
with Russia;
• Enabling Europe to stand on its own feet and operate as a group of aligned
sovereign nations, including by taking primary responsibility for its own
defense, without being dominated by any adversarial power;
• Cultivating resistance to Europe’s current trajectory within European
nations;
• Opening European markets to U.S. goods and services and ensuring fair
treatment of U.S. workers and businesses;
• Building up the healthy nations of Central, Eastern, and Southern Europe
through commercial ties, weapons sales, political collaboration, and cultural
and educational exchanges;
• Ending the perception, and preventing the reality, of NATO as a perpetually
expanding alliance; and
• Encouraging Europe to take action to combat mercantilist overcapacity,
technological theft, cyber espionage, and other hostile economic practices.”

@Peter – even there the synopsis is wrong. The EU like the UK should first become a democracy, having the unelected unaccountable technocrats as the master race controlling everyone’s very existence was always going to impede advancing. Again as with the UK trying to cause by diktat a one size fits all on the wide mixture of needs was never going to work. Even in the Woke World we live in, the very consequence of such folly is about removing difference by force, the very thing that makes the Human Race great and dynamic
The answer to date has to been to ring fence the EU State from the outside and act as the bully. I remember this technocrats crying when the POTUS said of their(the EU’s) tax imposition against the US to keep US industry out, the US charged EU Manufacturing just 2.5% on the EU’s imports into the US, the EU charged 10% on US imports into the EU. That 400% uplift by the EU wasn’t seen as being reciprocal, so when the POTUS matched the EU taxes they cried it was unfair. Its now all over the place.
January 6, 2026
Surely these bunch of muppets can’t take us back into the EU without a referendum put to the people
January 6, 2026
Muck, 2TK is salami slicing is back. He’s already agreed on agriculture to follow EU rules, he will now agree to other areas. Joining the SM and CU would negate our other trade agreements with the rest of the world and we would be portrayed as bad actors who can’t be trusted. This has nothing to do with growth or benefits to the UK, it’s Starmergeddon following his WEF instructions.
He’s already talking of Joining the common energy policy which puts net zero in the hands of Brussels and the ECJ. As we import about 14% of our electricity it makes absolutely no sense.
January 6, 2026
@Ian Wragg – has never Parliament allowed us to leave and prosper and have every day since the vote fraught the idea of the UK and its People being allowed to live in a democracy. Parliament comes over as being just dishonest and agents of a foreign power – they certainly are fighting a UK with a future
January 6, 2026
Predictive text gone mad, sorry
January 6, 2026
Not the WEF, it is the Trilateral Commission.
January 6, 2026
I’ve said many times before, PM’s have far too much power. Just because he doesn’t want it should not men he can do it. There should be a way of stopping this kind of underhand operation, but everyone else seems satisfied with it, especially the two main parties so we have no say. I have said before, democracy in this country is a sham. I don’t believe we give our votes for the muppets to do what ever they want, especially when it is not in the manifesto. Time to make manifestos a legal document and jail for those taking liberties outside of it without a specific vote.
January 6, 2026
This morning gas and nuclear are generating 71% of demand as solar is zero and wind has dropped to 5.4gw. Our only source left is imports and the spit price is £205 per mwh. We the consumer are being fleeced at the altar of net zero and the government is quite happy with this.
January 6, 2026
How are Outfox, Ecotricity and the other Green Energy providers supplying their customers?
January 6, 2026
As the wind over Europe drops imports have ramped up to £270 per mwh. Everything including Open Circuit gas turbines are on load. Totally reliant on imports to keep the lights on. Scandalous.
January 6, 2026
As at 11am, 75% of UK energy is generated by fossil fuels & nuclear ….and we’ve spent trillions on renewables ? and in this cold spell we’re getting nothing via the french interconnectors, because they have none to give as they need it themselves https://grid.iamkate.com/
January 6, 2026
France energy dashboard – as at 11am 95% fossil fuels, hydro & nuclear ….just 5% renewable https://www.rte-france.com/en/data-publications/eco2mix , we’ve got the net-zero and the energy mix completely wrong
January 6, 2026
Yes, they can. We only had the referendum in 2016 because Cameron decided to hold one. He was not obliged to by law. He was completely confident of the vote being to stay in the EU. He intended that a referendum would settle the duestion for generations.
Thereare several a useful papers written by the Commons Library. Suggest you start here:
https://commonslibrary.parliament.uk/research-briefings/sn05855/
“Basically, the Government has the power to make international treaties under its prerogative powers. But this cannot automatically change domestic law or rights, and – as the Supreme Court ruled in the Miller case – it cannot make major changes to the UK’s constitutional arrangements without Parliamentary authority.”
Clearly rejoining the EU would change both UK law and the UK constitution but given the massive majority Starmer has in Parliament a bill to rejoin the EU would almost certainly succeed.
Australia has far better constitutional arrangements and there a referendum would be required by law to be held once the legislation enacting the treaty is approved by the Federal Parliament and published. It would not be ratified unless the referendum produced a majority vote in a majority of states. You could still get different votes in states just as UK had different results in Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland but Federal Law has primacy over state law so the majority vote would apply.
January 6, 2026
It was in Cameron policy manifesto to carry out a referendum …..he won the election and the people got a referendum
January 7, 2026
He then refused to implement the result – and resigned.
January 6, 2026
Why not? What’s to stop them?
Being (even) more unpopular?
January 6, 2026
That’s exactly what they are doing. Where is the parliamentry opposition to this. Virtually non existent. The whole place is full of rejoiners (never wanted to leavers) The longer Starmer stays in power the closer we get to a totally undemocratic forced rejoin.
January 6, 2026
@Mick. I was tempted to say they are too spineless. On the other hand, they are perfectly prepared to push things like digital ID on us.
Let’s say they are too deceptive, disingenuous and manipulative to be honest and force us back in as a fully-accredited member. Bit by bit, we’ll find ourselves as totally compliant (or over-compliant) with everything Brussels wants (including punishing us for having the temerity to vote leave).
January 6, 2026
They certainly can and probably will. They will prob. call it “alignment” or something and do it piecemeal. Starmer is a blatant serial liar as everyone can clearly see. Two tier Lammy, Miliband, Phillipson, Reeves, Rayner are all totally wrong headed and are (or were) doing huge net harms!
January 6, 2026
Correct – They’ll start with the CU and then the SM, then all the legal institutions, then all the other institutions, then pay them trillions …..then they’ll tell us that we’re not in the EU ….and if they win the next election we’ll be in the Euro
January 6, 2026
The UK took the decision as a Nation to leave the EU and its processes of control. The reason that decision was taken was simply to allow our sovereign right to be returned to the people and to the Parliament put in place to represent the people.
There is no right for any government to actively go against the wishes of the collective voice of the people that it is elected to represent.
Starmer is riding rough shod over our rights. He must be stopped from progressing his personal desires to re-join the EU which he is doing via by paring away the very rights we demanded back from an unelected bureaucracy in Brussels.
January 6, 2026
I believe that, unfortunately, Parliament has the power to “actively go against the wishes of the collective voice of the people that it is elected to represent.” It is accountable to people only occasionally – in a general election and even that is mere convention, albeit constitutional. Paliament will do what Starmer’s Gang’s massive majority in Parliament decides it will do.
January 6, 2026
Sir Bill Cash was on Talk yesterday afternoon. He is furious! He described a lot of shenanigans, but says there is a fight back being organised! Don’t know any details. But, good that it is!
January 6, 2026
+1 but hard to fight back thanks the huge majority the fake Tories gifted them.
January 6, 2026
@Rod Evans – agreed
January 6, 2026
This was always the best argument against the EU. It is not a democracy. Remainers are uncomfortable with this and we should keep telling them.
January 6, 2026
@Richard II – agreed.
January 6, 2026
An excellent description of the EU’s ‘democratic deficit’. Thus many large firms have lobbying offices in Brussels with staff out to influence Commission officials to introduce new laws and regulations entrenching their interests. It explains the rampant corruption that takes place, evidence of which only very rarely comes to light because of the deliberate lack of transparency.
Try explaining all that to EU enthusiasts though and they simply don’t want to hear it. Starmer is one of them of course. Labour will be vindictive closer to the next election when they know for certain they won’t be re-elected. Various sectors of the economy will be bound into EU regulations and with long term cost commitments by the UK. It will be achieved by stealth I suspect, rather than outright formal ‘single market’/customs union membership.
January 6, 2026
Not known precisely how many but estimates are that there are 25,000 to 30,000 lobbyists in Brussels, but could be many more.
January 6, 2026
I’ve got your book you wrote about the EU published ages ago and I think it needs republishing so that people know what the EU is about. Nothing would make me vote to go into the EU as I did not support it in the 1970s.
One of the reasons is that the Commonwealth will be destroyed again which I did not agree with the last time. People say I am not very intelligent to have voted for Brexit but I have two degrees in art and design and Reformation and Early Modern Studies so it is Remainers who are thick in my opinion for being led by unscrupulous people.
January 6, 2026
What does Starmer think that rejoining the Customs Union and Single Market would do to all those businesses that have taken advantage of the trade agreements with countries outside the EU since Brexit? Probably he has not given it a moments thought. If he has, does he even begin to understand the implications? Clearly the Streetings of this Labour world have not. Their attitude is screw the lot of them. None of them appear to have a clue what they are talking about.
January 6, 2026
@Oldtimer92 – it was never about the UK and its people, its about ego and hope that they can morph to the top table of Law givers to be rewarded by stealing from the serfs, the minions.

The hypocrisy of the world’s autocratic leaders knows no bounds. The Russian response to Trump deposing the Venezuelan Nicolas Maduro, a few months after the war criminal Putin agreed a strategic defence partnership with his “dear friend”? “Modern day piracy”, “it’s a US “kidnapping”,”Venezuela counted on Russia’s help but did not get it”
Tell that to Ukraine, still bravely defending itself against four years of naked Russian aggression.
What about China, which has just spent three days intimidating Taiwan by conducting military live fire exercises, surrounding the democratic country and practicing a blockade??
“The sovereignty and security of all countries should be fully protected under international law”
Emperor Xi, commenting on Monday, urged all countries to abide by international law and the UN principles. He said “major powers should set an example” Except of course Taiwan. China does not regard Taiwan as a sovereign state but a renegade province. It does not recognise its president, Lai Ching-te, as a legitimate head of government (just as Putin denies that Zelenskyy is the legitimate President of UKraine) but a “doomed traitor”. For China, the Venezuelan precedent does not apply
January 6, 2026
You’re correct
January 6, 2026
So true, I remember trying to. Introduce electronic bag tags the regulation instead of saying how they should achieve Introduce electronic bag tags as the regulation instead of saying what they should achieve this specified they should be white paper and what size they were frustrating and delaying innovation for months. A bar code on an e ink screen worked with the readers but didnt meet the legislation. A clear example where regulation should specify what not how.
January 6, 2026
The EU, the Customs Union and Single Market are the means by which Corporatism has been imposed on us.
Corporatism is a fusion of state and corporate power and is Mussolini’s version of Fascism: “Mussolini’s fascist government implemented an economic system called corporatism (or the corporate state), which he described as a “third way” between capitalism and communism.”
Rejoining the Single Market and Customs Union would make us a complete “sitting duck” for the vengeful Bureaucrats and failed politicians running the EU. Our economy would be completely under their control; they could impose whatever wrecking policies they wanted and we would be a captive market for their overpriced and substandard goods ….. all with absolutely no say in the matter.
And that’s why the Remoaners in the Establishment are pushing it. Because it will be the next step on their mission to overturn the result of the Referendum and rejoin, justifying it that “we are currently a rule-taker …. rejoin and we can become a rule-maker again.”
Both Reform and the Not-a-Conservative-Party should make it clear that they respect the result of the EU Referendum and they will reverse any rejoining carried out by Labour. Will the EU really want to stoke an ongoing “Brexit war?”
Reply The Conservatives are opposing the re set and rejoining Customs Union and single market
January 6, 2026
@Reply – how does a minority get to oppose anything. Unless they can find others in Parliament that support democracy this destructive lawyer will keep to his plan. Not 2 years in and the damage has been relentless suppoerted by Parliament. Just imagine what will be left of the UK in another 3 years.
January 6, 2026
The EU is a very socialist construct, and according to the late Richard Brooker and Richard North’s book, The Great Deception, the whole set up was designed in direct competition to the USA, and as invasive centralised regulation.
The Brexit Party did a weekly update of things going on, while they were in the European parliament. Brexbox, it was called, and Martin Daubney was the main presenter. What they reported was crazy. Voting for a role, only one candidate…. then excited cheering when the person ‘won.’
But our government are socialists, so I can see why they want to rejoin EU single market etc. They do seem to dislike the USA. Perhaps they’re jealous of them?
January 6, 2026
We’ve had one and a half years to discover that economic harm is no barrier to the acts of this government.
January 6, 2026
My life since 2016 has been controlled by the UK government, not Mrs Van de Layen, I have no wish to return to Commission control. I am in favour of reduced paperwork for exports and imports. What happened to Common Market rules and open borders to transport.
January 6, 2026
The uk/eu trade and cooperation agreement happen ….that kept us fully aligned with the EU (and NI actually in the EU)
January 6, 2026
Of course it will do economic harm – that the point, the plan. How else can a lazy free-loading Parliament get back to having nothing to do with anything other than local council work.
Clearly that has been the plan ever since Cameron absconded to avoid his duty, then May and Parliament and all that followed since started a war against the people to punish them for voting for MPs to work for the Country.
January 6, 2026
In some way I am reminded here of an item by Tim Stanley in yesterdays Telegraph while writing about Venezuela.
Quoting the UK Parliaments take on events “National sovereignty matters,” simpered Ed Davey – the more one has, the more one can give to the EU, I suppose – and Lib Dem Edward Morello said he will “mourn the passing of the rules-based international order”.
Says it all, we voted for MP’s in Parliament to work for the Country, to keep us safe, aid us to be self-reliant and resilient. All they are interested is in ‘back-sliding’ handing the UK and its people to the Control of the unelected unaccountable ‘holier-than-thou’ creatures that want a return to serfdom and Barons.
There doesn’t seem to be one voice from the noisy end(the only ones we hear from) of the UK Parliament that likes the UK, that wants to work with the people of the Nation, to build it, to grow it and create a future. This noisy end has agendas to fight and give the Nation away at all costs, its the inherent problem of ‘Gang’ bosses choosing candidates, the refusal of democracy and the two tier law. Its the WEF’s ‘Great Reset’ in action, and the UK Parliament is using the UK Citizens and the Nation as their guinea pigs play things.
Wake up people your MP hates you….

Freezing conditions across the country, particularly “up north.” Energy provision: Gridwatch at 9am:
Nuclear – 10%

We obviously don’t need gas and nuclear and do need a great many more windmills and solar panels 🙂

I had an aunt who loyally voted Conservative at each election.
At the time of the vote on whether to join the European Common Market, she said that the Unions were against. Her opinion was that the UK Trade Unions tended to do what was not good for the UK. Choosing the opposite to what those Unions recommended was her rationale for the right choice to make, so she voted in favour of joining.
Had she lived to witness the outcome, she would have bitterly regretted such a choice.
January 6, 2026
There was never a referendum to join, Bloke, but I know what you mean. Ted Heath and his crew decided it was a good idea to join, and that was that. Later, we had two referenda on continuing membership of the Common Market/EU, one in 1975 which was positive, and one in 2016 which was negative. If Starmer could manipulate things so he could have another referendum, he might perhaps try that, but frankly, he isn’t interested in what the British people want anyway.
January 6, 2026
At that time @1974 the unions and the labour party ONLY supported the UK workers and only the interests of the UK workers …..how times have changed
January 6, 2026
The determination of Starmer, and many of his cabinet and MPs, to get us back into the EU, however bad and expensive the terms, shows how completely ignorant of basic economics they all are.
It also shows Starmer has no respect for democracy. As far as he is concerned, he knows what is best for the UK,.
and sod what the voters think.
Starmer lives in the cloud cuckoo land of international law being his God, however much it damages the UK.
January 6, 2026
Do you think the present politicians are in favour of reintegration for that very reason?
Their incompetence is no longer exposed but they still have titular authority and power.
January 6, 2026
Yes, it was unnecessary and often pointless but expensive regulations that were always at the top of most people’s list of ‘why we hate the EU’, along with the cost of belonging to this grotesque club.
It became clear that the EU wanted to control every aspect of our lives – they never stopped issuing restrictive and freedom-removing laws and dictats, and that’s just the top of the iceberg of reasons why we cannot allow ourselves to be taken over by them again.
Unfortunately Starmer is in love with the EU and how big is more beautiful, and he is determined to get us back in by the side door without representation.
January 6, 2026

January 6, 2026
Socialism depends upon making and keeping people poor. We see this clearly in Venezuela. So if Sir Keir wants to rejoin the EU’s Customs Union and Single market it must be bad economically for the UK. It also gives Sir Keir the opportunity to do another Chagos style deal with the EU and give them lots of money for us to have a trading deficit of £100bn/year with the EU just as we did when we members. Current polling will ensure Sir Keir ramps up his scorched earth policy and unfortunately will not be stopped as we have a socialist Parliament with a majority of MPs who support EU membership, mass immigration and Net Zero, all policies devised to impoverish us.
January 6, 2026
Surely it’s better not to pay tariffs between trading countries.Look at Trumps increase in Tariffs as a trading weapon.

Oh dear West Mids police senior officers caught lying to parliament, and openly policing “with fear and favour” which is contrary to their standing orders. Ah well, makes a change from turning a blind eye to gang rape of children eh.
Lets see if parliament does anything when it is treated like the rest of us become used to eh.
January 6, 2026
Those four senior police officers at committee today should be sacked, they could evidence nor explain any decision making with regard to the west midlands international football ban …..they looked confused and unaccountable ….I fear for UK policing

January 6, 2026
From the Telegraph
“Sir Keir Starmer is planning new Brexit legislation that would allow Britain to hand power to the EU without a vote from MPs.
Labour will introduce a Brexit bill later this year, which will allow the UK to participate in “dynamic alignment” with the EU under Sir Keir’s reset with Brussels.”
https://www.telegraph.co.uk/politics/2026/01/06/starmers-brexit-reset-would-hand-power-to-eu/
MPs and the Country will have no say. Although we have to recognise Parliament itself wants in so they no longer have to manager the Country.
Part of the above has already been started by Starmer without asking. He has and agreement with the EU in his personal preliminary reset with the EU, that the UK will never compete with them. The first part of this came up when it was reported up in the media with the so-called SMR’s it is the EU that has to give permission of whether and how these are built not the UK Parliament.
Another 3 years of this and what do you have a very happy Parliament reneging on everything they stand for ‘democracy’

promises of the UK and France defending Ukraine are a nonsense when we cannot even defend our own beaches, or our own working class white girls. British men are not going to volunteer to go get killed when they have been demonised at home, and discriminated against in favour of every other demographic. they are not going to be starmers cannon fodder when previous members of the forces are being prosecuted for doing their job. they are not going to fight a Russia which is correct about immigration, trans, woke issues, when our own ruling class is so wrong. they are not going to leave their young girls behind even more defenceless against gang rape by invaders.
the British ruling class have lost the plot completely.
