If something comes back it makes Labour look utterly corrupt for blocking a Brexit investigation.

UK government is basically in total chaos now. Even if there is as a recognition of your point there’s no functional government to implement a strategy to deal with it. bets are Starmer will be gone next year. What a mess

The coming collapse of European US security arrangements makes this drastically more complicated but also more worthwhile and necessary to fix if not undo.

When the Europeans stop paying for US bases, buying US kit and providing very generous tax arrangements for US companies the relationship will come apart. Even if/when Trump is replaced I don’t think u can unbreak the current process.

The thing is most politicians don’t hang around long enough to take strategic decisions. The last Foreign Secretary lasted a year? Politics has become about messaging and not about delivering and definitely not about strategic decisions. Starmer is now struggling to survive month by month

The political system went along with Brexit taking no responsibility for the mess. If they try and undo it now it would raise the questions of how it happened, how much damage was done and why the politicians went along with it. That’s the end of the current political and media class.

It has always struck me ever since Cameron called the Referendum that all sides have treated the debate as if it were domestic i.e. that the 27 would automatically go along with whatever a majority in the UK happened to want.

Sort of maybe. Since 2010 the UK has had a series of governments that treated Europe as an enemy. We now have a government that can’t even be arsed to understand how the EU works or what it needs and wants.

I think it is going to be a disaster.

That’s going to have to include the UK for a variety of reasons. If the US manages to destabilise or peal the UK a way from Europe even more than now it will be a disaster. It’s also important the Uk stop fucking around.

This was an open secret in the private sector over two years ago. The OBR numbers never made much sense. It’s also important the most damaging parts of Brexit are yet to be implemented

Brexit ( at least in terms of the vote) was basically a decade ago. The UK government knew it would more expertise and has made little effort to sort that in the civil service. It also doesn’t explain the lack of expertise on the political side

Can I ask the question how did the UK government get to a point in terms of expertise from both the political and civil service sides of not having a clue?
