How do people feel about Brexit three years on? – BBC Newsnight
The Brexit referendum of 2016 divided the UK. For some Brexit was an exhilarating opportunity, for others a self-inflicted wound.
It led to the immediate downfall of former prime minister David Cameron, the tormenting and eventual toppling of his successor Theresa May, and along the way it raised questions about the durability of the United Kingdom.
So three years after the UK left the EU, how are people feeling in Westminster, and in Sunderland? – the place where results first indicated that Brexit was on the way.
Newsnight’s political editor Nick Watt has been assessing the political mood.

The US said it has hit “dozens” of Iranian military targets in overnight attacks, in response to Iran hitting commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz.
The military said it struck “air-defense systems, coastal radar sites, missile and drone capabilities, and small boats”, using aircraft, ships, and drones – including “one-way attack sea drones for the first time”.
“The Strait of Hormuz is a vital maritime corridor for global trade,” the US military said. “Iran does not control it”.
In response, Iran said it targeted US bases in Jordan, Bahrain, and Kuwait and also radar systems in Oman.

President Donald Trump has said the US is reinstating a naval blockade of Iranian ports and will impose a 20% charge on all cargo shipped through the Strait of Hormuz following days of escalating strikes between the two countries.
He said this would stop “Iran’s ships or customers” from entering or leaving the key oil shipping route, but “all other countries will have fair and open use of the Strait”.
Iran’s foreign minister later said whoever provides safe passage “should be compensated for this service”, but Iran would remain the strait’s “GUARDIAN” – using Trump’s word.
Tehran and Washington clashed over the strait’s control after exchanging strikes in the region overnight and on Monday.
The US said it carried out strikes against military targets in Iran, targeting air defence systems, coastal radars, and missile and drone sites. Iran said it responded by striking US military bases in Kuwait, Jordan and Bahrain, and radars in Oman.

Explosions have been heard near two Iranian port cities, Bandar Abbas and Bushehr, state media has reported.
It comes after another night of strikes between the US and Iran, with Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps saying it hit two UAE tankers in the Strait of Hormuz and targeted US facilities in Jordan and Bahrain.
The UAE called the attack “brazen”, adding that an Indian crew member was killed and eight others were injured.
Meanwhile, the US military says it completed strikes on targets aimed at degrading “Iran’s ability to attack commercial shipping” – Iranian state media reports three people were killed.

The US military said it was carrying out a new wave of strikes on targets in Iran. It said the aim of the attacks was to degrade Iran’s ability to attack shipping in the strait of Hormuz. It came ass the US Navy resumed its blockade of Iran’s ports.
Iran said that control of the strait of Hormuz was required for its national security and it will exercise sovereignty over the key shipping lane, whatever the cost.
President Trump announced that he was scrapping a plan he had announced a day earlier, for placing a 20% toll or tariff on all cargos passing through the strait of Hormuz.

If UK was such a success to begin with, and it was basically just EU sucking life out of it..
Then.. where has all those money and leverage money gone?
It can be in raised salaries, or in better equipment.
And don't blame it on covid or Ukraine.
We are all in that mess with each other. UK does not have it any harder than others on those points.

I’m not a Brit. Years ago aBrit I met while traveling explained to me why he supported Brexit. He thought it was a no brainer. I remained silent, but thought to myself how can someone be so stupid. The economic ramifications of Brexit were obvious to me. Do not be offended Brits, we have Donald Trump…
@KlingbergWingMkII

Russia's social media assaults' is probably just as much to blame for Brexit as it is to blame for the troubles we are having here in the US with Trump. Putin and his minions have planted a lot of false info out there that average folks mistake for actual news.

Interesting to see how the UK has declined since Brexit. The debates before the Brits went to the polls showed a profound arrogance: it was as if many Brits still thought of the UK as the old "Empire." It has become obvious that the Empire no longer has access to gold, precious stones and free labour – the things it was built on. The thing is, those in power are so far removed from the people on the street, and this being the UK, they have always had – and will always have a privileged existence regardless of whether the country is part of the EU or not. The Glass Ceiling isn't an individual experience in the UK: it is how that society is structured. And the Brits accept it.

Brits got so used to blaming the EU, that they are in a stupor now while acquiring new targets. Spin the wheel. Will it be immigrants? Russians, extreme political groups? Naon-christians? Or finding new ways to blame the EU, this time for 'forcing' the UK out of the EU.
@servalous
January 1, 2024 at 2:40 pm
All the things that they wanted were possible while being in the EU. The politicians just needed to do their jobs and also the system. Brexit was nothing else then providing the rich more power and more control. All crisis were home made in the UK and I have nothing left for the brexmoaners. You shown your fascist colour and made your bed, so sleep in it.
