Trump wanting us to ditch Europe.

Many years ago I voted against joining the EU, but I didn't take part in the Brexit referendum because I could see there were advantages and disadvantages either way. I wouldn't want to rejoin the EU (most of the problems might have been lessened if the government had been prepared for a leave vote) but I do think that we need to work closely with Europe. We need to ditch, at least for the moment, the so-called "special relationship" with the US and stick with countries where there is currently a better understanding of democracy.

I was and am still a strong supporter of remaining in the EU, and I now think that given all the lies we were told at the time of the referendum that people who were so badly mislead might now vote very differently..
statistics are now showing that a majority of people now would prefer to still be in the EU.. I really hope that this government isn't stupid enough to make the mistake of giving any credence to Trump..

One of the few things I like about Trump is his rhetoric about putting his own country first. We should do the same. There are far too much money flowing out of this country into the hands of corrupt foreign warlords or being squandered on third world wars. We have out own to look after.

And this is a Bank of England governor appointed by a Conservative government. Mark Carney was and still is critical of Brexit and was firmly on the side of remaining in the EU. From what I’ve heard over the years Starmer has been trying to build bridges with the EU and I hope that continues. At last people are beginning to speak about the elephant in the room that is Brexit.
