    The only thing the Tories delivered in fourteen years is Brexit. This single policy is rightly likely to destroy the Tories. A very well-deserved outcome for the Tories.
    Tories want to be in government not to govern but to stop anyone else from governing.
    Tory extinction is the best outcome for the Tories in fact for us all.

    Brexit Status 2024:
    1. Brexit is DONE, EU doors are shut and Brexit cannot be reversed.
    2. The treaty cannot be renegotiated and/or rewritten.
    3. The existing international treaty will not be replaced by a new one.
    4. As a lawyer Keir Starmer cannot ignore that an international treaty is like an agreed and signed contract and that changes only can be made to that contract/international treaty if BOTH parties agree to do so.
    However, the EU's answer is/was already "NO, Thanks but NO Thanks, Or you are IN, or you are OUT. No more cherries on that cake. END OFF". The EU respects the democratic decision of the UK to leave the EU. Brexit means Brexit, OUT means OUT and OUT you are. Britain managed to vote itself out, but won't be able to vote itself back in.
    Joining the EU:
    Not yet to talk about the criteria and conditions that need to be fulfilled, before being able to join the EU/27 member states, i.e. "accepting the Euro €, requirement that a state has the institutions to preserve democratic governance and *human rights, has a functioning market economy, and accepts the obligations and intent of the European Union."
    Just a little reminder:
    The UK's applications to join in 1963 and 1967 were vetoed by the President of France, Charles de Gaulle. While it was true that Britain's economy, like many others, was struggling to recover from the high cost of WW2, De Gaulle had personal as well as economic reasons for not wanting the British around the table.
    Hate against the EU:
    During and after the Brexit referendum campaign, Britain has not stopped to display their hate against the EU as well as campaigning to leave the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) for the simple reason that it contains the word "Europe" in it..
    The EU/27 member states certainly have reasons enough, to reject any future application for a UK candidacy as a future EU member state and it will not come as any surprise whatsoever.
    Human Rights:
    - isn't it the UK with its Tory government and their friends from the far-right business company Reform UK Ltd, who are campaigning to leave the ECHR and by doing so, are taking away the Human Rights of its own population?
    There already is the first hurdle and there are more of them i.e. not respecting international laws and by breaking them.
    Who on earth would like to have a country like that as a club member?
    The UK would be well advised to join Belarus and Russia instead.
    One cannot join the EU like taking a bus, a taxi, a train, a plane when it suits the political and financial agenda and then tell the EU to f* off after having milked it financially for decades.
    Conclusion:
    If the British public, farmers and fishermen vote for these con-artists and Putin apologists again, then they cannot blame anybody else but themselves! Fool me once, shame on You! Fool me twice, shame on ME!
    This is what Nigel Farage and the Tories stand for:
    Getting rid of YOUR Human Rights (the European Court of Human Rights i.e., ECHR, enshrined in the Good Friday Agreement) and breaching international laws and conventions i.e., UNCHR Refugee Convention 1951 and its 1967 Protocol.
    Watch your Human Rights and Your Equality Act going up in flames!
    The Media: BBC, ITV, K-GB News and SKY News, Daily Express, Daily Mail, The Telegraph etc helping Hitler and Putin loving Nigel Farage to get elected? You bet! Putin will be so proud of his friend Nigel, will he not?!

      ​@@InTheSpotlight755 oh you got me wrong totally. I'm very concerned about what's likely to happen to the EU because of the rise of the RN. Partly because of their intention to block aid to Ukraine and partly because of their intention to disable the EU across the board. Although the UK is just a third country, stability in the EU is important to us in the UK. And that stability is definitely under threat with the rise of the RN. Yes they changed their mind about France leaving the EU and have decided instead to attack it from within. At the least we are going to see a paralysis in decision making in the EU and that's not in the interests of the UK at all.
      There is a myth that goes around these social media channels that everyone in the EU loves it. But already Italy is very sceptical about the EU and openly so. Once joined by France and increasing anti EU sentiment in parts of Germany there is a risk of an unstoppable Eurosceptic force. Not to dismantle the EU, but to bring it to a grinding halt.
      I don't think this is a good thing. Not at all. Europe's security is under threat and much of that threat is from within. R N leaders are funded by Putin and agree with him on basically most things. This is alarming.
      On a wider point this channel is run by a nice person who is a bit naive about how the EU works. Of course the EU has nothing for the UK and it won't offer anything at all. The UK decided to leave and this is how it will be for a couple of decades at least and more likely permanently. It's not what I wanted but unlike our host on the channel I've accepted reality.

      Fun fact: in order for a third country = little brexitannia to join/rejoin the SM and the CU, we, the EU27 🇪🇺 members, would need to change our 'constitution' to our detriment as a first step.
      In a second step, then we 🇪🇺 would deliberately destroy this very SM/CU because any other random 3rd Tom, Dick, Harry and their dog, according to the WTO's MFN rules, could request the same privilege, which would destroy any TCA the EU has with any nation ..... and it would make EU membership superfluous to enjoy the privileges of the
      SM, since literally *ANYBODY* could have it anyway.
      Just because this birdbrain Miss Webster fails to comprehend these simple facts and continues to incessantly waffle on about it ..... we 🇪🇺 won't do her favour of destroying ourselves.

      Unfortunately, rejoining is not going to happen overnight. I’m sad to say it will probably not happen in my life time, or the very end of it as in my mid 60’s.
      The main objective currently is get a government that is NOT the Tory’s and make sure Reform have the smallest impact on government they can as well as making them a one hit wonder. I’m sickened to say but Farage is going to be elected, but he needs to be held to account by his constituents and work for the first time in a very very long time at the job he is being paid handsomely to do. Although, he will swan around doing what ever he wants and be on TV spouting his populist Ballhux at every opportunity I have no doubt.
      I get why you would not vote Labour, but on this occasion it is so very important that the Tory’s and Reform are smashed. Use your vote tactically and if that means Labour, then vote Labour. Or, if LibDem’s are looking to take your local seat, please vote LibDem. Please make your vote count as we need a strong government of at least 2 to 3 terms that can start to talk about the EU and all of the benefits of rejoining the good stuff.
      I live in Ireland now, but still have a postal vote for my old constituency, which I proud to see for the very first time in its history will vote out the sitting Tory after 120 + yrs of them just assuming they would have an easy seat. That has not happened just because of people being sick to their back teeth of the lies and corruption, it’s also down to hard work from local act and tactical voting.
      I’m not Starmer fan what so ever, but he is what we have and hopefully he will not be party leader by the next election if he hasn’t changed his stance of the EU.
      Please vote tactically.

    I thought in a democracy when the country makes a mistake (Brexit) its people can correct that mistake.

But I guess in a democracy you have the same problem. People cannot admit their error and make a correction.

    Liz, I really like what I think are (your) Shorthorn cattle. I saw Speckle and really loved her colouring. Would I be right in saying that you have both Red Shorthorn and Roan Shorthorn or perhaps just a Roan Shorthorn bull and crossbreed with Red Shorthorn cows?
    Onto today's main political topic... Like most people who are following your channel, I await with pleasure the political victory over the Tories next week. Also, nothing would please me more to see them decimated from the political scene. However, with Fanatical Fantasist Farage and his Revolting Reform party on the scene and gaining traction in the polls, I think we have to be a little careful as to what we wish for. Whilst we do not know what will happen on the day of the election, it seems unlikely to me that the LIbDems will gain enough seats to become the official opposition. That means that if the polls are correct, that it is going to be a toss-up between the Tories and Reform.
    Yes, I understand that the pollsters and experts are all saying that Reform's popularity will not translate into many seats, I advise caution. What the polls don't tell us is how many people will actually turn up to vote on the day. However, what we can likely assume is that people who support Farage will be very keen to ensure their success and will likely be strong in voter turnout as compared to supporters of other parties. 'Better the devil that you know than the one you don't' as the old proverb says and I still think that having the Tories (preferably the LibDems) as the official opposition is a far better outcome than Starmer having to face Farage at the Despatch Box during PMQs every week. That would give Farage far too much exposure and that will be lethal.
