He's probably been correctly advised that the best way to shore up his position is to give head to the EU.
The best way to ensure Europe and our strategic and economic futures is cooperation. That you don't like Starmer is irrelevant.
I didn't say anything about Starmer.
I'm fine with doing deals in our interests with our neighbours; I'm not with being a supplicant.
Brexit ensured that.
Oh God, you're such a dick.
If you go into every negotiation believing that then, duh, unsurprisingly the other side will cream you, because it will take advantage of your confirmation bias. It will laugh at you, and then make it happen. Because it's massively in theirs interests, and easy.
Now, of course, you'll say that's because it is weak. But that's bollocks. We are a highly advanced economy and one of the Big Three and have big advantages that the EU needs.
There's plenty of scope for equitable deals. We need to work together. You just have to know your own negotiating position and strengths, and then you can get to win-win trade deals.
I know it pains you to hear it, but the EU isn't that strong. It's a bunch of French and German farmers and conglomerates who can't innovate, can't defend themselves and are as effete as an egg souffle.
You need to fucking get over what happened 10 years ago, and generally stop being such a twat.
Brexit made both Europe and us weaker. But the EU is still a market comparable in size to the US. As for can't innovate, how many biotechs have become pharmas worth billions in the UK in the last thirty years ? Zero. How many manufacturing companies essential to the world chip industry do we have ? Whose nuclear reactor design are we building (at nearly double the cost they've done) ?
The electorate agrees with me, not you. You can tell them they need to fucking get over it and stop being twats if you want, but good luck with that electoral pitch.
The fact that GDP growth's worst decade in a century is congrous to the decade of Brexit is not a co-incidence.
Sunlit uplands hey?
You may have noticed a pandemic and a war in the last decade too?
Don't encourage him, or they'll be because of Brexit as well
Its pretty obvious why Brexiteers are keen to change the subject.
Equally obvious why you try to equate the crisis of COVID and Ukraine as somehow equal to other crises in the past. Those 2 together were seriously disruptive and their impact continues. I don't excuse Boris's lack of a vision/plan but he's hardly unique in that - Starmer says hi!
Starmer had a plan, he's just too timid to go through with it with a hostile media. Which is just as bad. Reeves doesn't appear to have had a plan and has been captured by the other Treasury.
Asia is totally leaving Europe behind. This is CAMBODIA, FFS
They have special banks of iPads where you fill in your visa on arrival form. Your photograph is taken automatically. Takes seconds. Amazing
It's big, and empty, and boring. And the bus stop is miles from the airport. And I got an e-Visa in advance,even quicker. They don't even stamp your passport now, unlike the primitives in the EU.

You have to wait days for an evisa. Visa on arrival is now probably the better way as it is so quick

I was one of the first to go through the previous teeny tiny airport as it was opened. A single luggage carousel. Would have been 35 years ago today. I remember spending Valentines Day eve in the Phnom Penh Foreign Correspondents Club (now I believe closed - presumably the old soaks' livers finally gave up).

He does have a plan - it's just utterly malign and not something you read out to the public whilst sitting infront of a flag.
It involves banter bans in pubs, massive increases in NCHIs, mandatory digital ID, trial without jury, complete surveillance of online behaviour, offshoring the economy due to expensive power and permanently higher taxes, everyone dependent on the state for their very survival, and rejoining the EU forever on punishment terms.

He's been very loose cannon in the last 10 days, even for him.

What a great time for the President to be wholesale getting rid of climate change measures. Texas is on flip-watch
