A really interesting poll was run by Martin Lewis, a journalist and campaigner in the UK.

It asked who the UK should lean towards in the current political climate, and whether the voter was a 'Remainder' or 'Leaver' in the EU referendum.

His published results, below, show response based on platform.

Only on X did any type of voter side with the US.

I wonder what the results would be here 👀

Note: There was no way to prevent inauthentic responses in this poll.

Britain's so-called Brexit wars dominated parliament for years. Now the Labour government is bracing for new battles as it eyes legislation to move closer to the European Union. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2026/01/18/world/politics/uk-labour-eu-reset-fight/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #worldnews #politics #keirstarmer #uk #labour #reform #eu #brexit

Labour needs to rediscover that EU membership works
Nigel Farage may be riding high in the polls, but the damaging reality of Brexit is clear to see

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer says he will pursue greater access to the European Union’s single market, the strongest language yet on his desire to soften the U.K’s Brexit deal nearly a decade after the referendum. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2026/01/05/world/politics/starmer-farage-eu-single-market/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #worldnews #politics #keirstarmer #nigelfarage #eu #uk #brexit

Another weekend, and another set of articles (in The Observer) discussing possible staged re-entry into the EU (or just the Customs Union) as if the only political barriers are ramifications across the UK's political environment.

No mention of the problem that we (the UK) can say what we want but the EU Commission & members have to actually agree & will undoubtedly have conditions & requirements that may not play well in the UK.

Political myopia of a very dangerous kind!

History will see #Brexit like this:

1. Stop people emigrating as of right
2. Stagnate the economy to build resentment
3. Start a racist party
4. Turn on our own citizens

I have no way out now. As a #Jew this is terrifying.

As an old man, I played the first version of Lemmings when it came out. So in response to the wisdom of #Brexit , I naturally mocked up this cover.

In a world where the only reliably expanding markets belong to the military sector, and technological innovation appears increasingly devoted to perfecting the art of mutual destruction, where can one still find hope? https://www.japantimes.co.jp/commentary/2025/12/28/world/year-that-could-be/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #commentary #worldnews #uk #albania #brexit #italy #donaldtrump #eu #immigration

I love the idea there's a debate about whether we/UK should rejoin the EU Customs Union; its the same old entitled nonsense.

Sure we can express an interest or even desire to rejoin, but expressing that in the face of the EU's pretty obvious position that it treats the UK with suspicion & would only welcome the UK back with very serious conditions, is just political stupidity.

If we want to rejoin step one is building back trust & goodwill, something we've not really been doing!

#EU #Brexit

hmmm.... the UK is expected to announce tomorrow that it has rejoined the Erasmus student exchange scheme.

the Q. will be how much the UK will be contributing to the scheme to have closed the deal - anyone thinking that the UK has beaten the EU down much from their original request has not been following the various negotiations with the EU since Brexit.

But no doubt Keir Starmer will trumpet this as part of reset that Britain has 'won'!

Funny how many donors to Farage and people close to him get money from Russia, then pass it on to him. I mean it’s almost like he’s a traitor and a Russian asset, but that can’t be true of the great patriot, can it?…..
