Britain is a weak link in Donald Trump’s new world order, so it needs to find friends… fast - eviltoast

Should we try to bolster our friendship with Europe?

The author claims that the UK government “must unambiguously launch talks on a big, expansive trade deal with the EU coupled with a deal on European defence”.

Do you agree?

    Holding a grudge is for losers. UK is more than welcome to rejoin as far as I’m concerned, speaking as a Swede.

      Agreed and I feel like people are sleepwalking on this. Between Russian agression and concerns from the USA and China - we shouldn’t just be welcoming the UK, we should be working hard to bring them back to the fold. If the EU want to keep living in a world where the EU is possible, they’ve got to start making stronger efforts to protect and shape it.

      Well, I don’t care either way personally. I’m just saying, not everybody is ready to welcome them back, should they so desire.
