Brexit isn’t going quite to plan and the oven-ready Brexit deal may have not been properly baked, with polls suggesting that most Brits view it as a mistake and would rejoin the EU if given the chance. In this video, we take a look at potential solutions to Brexit and whether any of these solutions could help.

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.

I’m interested in Britain and the well fare of the people of this country as we have now left the E U we face a new reality not a nostalgic look back but forge a new Britain where we can escape the slave wage economy, where people earn sufficient money so they can pay tax to fund better health care and education for all the people of this country.

December 30, 2023 at 1:04 pm
personally i thank covid 19 for making some countries to close its borders to britain, if this doesn't teach britain to quit relying on imports and start looking after itself, it can make half the stuff it gets from other countries. I dont know what will tell britain to fend for itself
china is saying we're done giving you stuff!

For more than 4 years now, the pro EUSSR supporters have been desperate to find reasons to prop up their corrupt and undemocratic project. Please don't ever stop, watching you make fools and liars of yourselves is the best medicine any free thinking man could wish for. The UK is at the dawn of a new and glorious age, just be patient and watch us go.

What you mean is, Britain, by being a sovereign state once again doesn't allow people to help themselves to its territory, and that Britons don't help themselves to theirs. We do this with the US, Australia, Singapore, Brazil even, in fact, every country on Earth.

Love this quote: “Nigel Farage told us that being in the EU meant we couldn’t control our own borders and yet those countries are part of the EU and have only gone and bloody controlled their own borders – just like THAT!
“Surely that wasn’t all a lie to get us to vote for an economically catastrophic break from our largest trading partner just to line the pockets of disaster capitalists like him… was it?”
