In this video we explore Burnham’s promise to implement a more representative electoral system in the UK but will he actually succeed where countless other governments have failed – and actually change the voting system?

Nigel Farage said Andy Burnham’s comments about potentially rejoining the EU had given him “the biggest boost in [his] career”. We look at why — even if it seems counter-intuitive — another Brexit debate could actually hurt Farage.

Before the Brexit referendum, a whole bunch of MPs explained to Britain how the economy would collapse post-Brexit. While Brexit hasn’t yet happened, some did say that the destruction would take place immediately after the vote; which didn’t exactly happen as expected. So in this video, we explain what’s happened and why the economy hasn’t done too badly in the end.

Hello from Ireland. I don't know why the Unionists or the British in general are so worried about the European Court of Justice having a "say". Currently there are 233 former British Soldiers living in Britain who committed First Degree Murder in Ireland (Shooting unarmed civilians in the back, murdering small children etc) and not one of them has ever been charged with anything. The ECJ has never even made a comment about this so this "say" that the ECJ have is only an imaginary one. Rock on boys you need have no fear of the ECJ.

December 20, 2023 at 7:43 pm
I hate to see this agreement. Why is the EU helping to solve the UK's problems at the expense of the EU? Another year and UK exports will be tunneled through Northern Island. The EU gets nothing from this agreement, except that the UK will be able to circumvent regulations and the whole Brexit opera will continue for decades to come.
The whole idea that the UK would honor the agreement to make sure that goods on the green lane stay in NI is ludicrous.

The Windsor Framework merely reinforces the Protocol it changes nothing, meanwhile we in Northern Ireland remain without Government. I watched Rishi Sunak recently with Emanuel Macron.

Let’s hope he solves migration too. Tough talk is good hopefully the actions follow soon. If the highest majority of people in the boats are Albania young men (nearly a third of all arrivals) which is a safe country then there really is no realistic argument that they are all deserving refugees and not economic migrants. The worst thing is a huge number of them are then exploited or turn to criminal gangs. Look up the parliamentary committee debates for the government actually telling the truth and confirming the statistic on this. Basically they are exploiting human trafficking legislation to create lucrative criminal gangs

Brexit will be studied for years. A meaningless move based on sentiment. Asking people to vote on a matter they can't possibly know anything about.

@sabinenadal8470
December 20, 2023 at 7:43 pm
controls will still be in place with this framework. Goods moving in the green lane will still be subject to customs declarations, albeit much simplified. The EU is clear that the trusted trader scheme, which underpins all this, can be suspended if the UK fails to provide access to the relevant UK IT customs systems and databases, or the UK does not live up to the commitments it undertook when setting up the trusted trader scheme. if you can’t be sure of end destination of goods when first moving them into NI you will have to use the red lane though there will (finally) be a tariff reimbursement scheme when you can show that those goods did not ultimately enter the EU.
