So it seems that Canada was prepared to accept the EU’s conditions for accessing its defense procurement programme while the UK was not. Must be embarrassing for those who tried last week to blame the EU for the breakdown in talks with the UK.

What could have been more illegal than the immigration pathways used by the original settlers of America?
I don't know why the native Americans don't form their own version of ICE and start snatching white Christians off American streets and deporting them to Portugal or whatever European countries they originally came from. After all, there is no doubt that the original settlers were wholly illegal.
One of the agents allegedly told her the document was a forgery while another reportedly remarked: “Anyone can make that."

Talks for UK to join EU defence fund collapse in blow to Starmer’s bid to reset relations
UK had been pushing to join €150bn Safe fund, a loan scheme that is part of bloc’s drive to rearm Europe
Keir Starmer’s bid to reset relations with the EU suffered a major blow on Friday, after negotiations for the UK to join the EU’s flagship €150bn (£131bn) defence fund collapsed.
The UK had been pushing to join the EU’s Security Action for Europe (Safe) fund, a low-interest loan scheme that is part of the EU’s drive to boost defence spending by €800bn and rearm the continent, in response to the growing threat from Russia and cooling relations between Donald Trump’s US and the EU.

It would be nice to think this will damage Farage but the hard fact is that the majority who vote reform already know he is a racist and will not be bothered because they are racists too. What will hurt him more is exposing him as a traitor working for Russia. The flag shaggers will not like that.
