Brexit makes no sense in a world dominated by Trump. Britain’s place is back in the EU (www.theguardian.com)

It’s one damned thing after another. As Keir Starmer is discovering, government, like life, can feel like a fusillade of events, each coming faster than the one before. If it’s not a cabinet minister resigning over a past fraud conviction, it’s MPs voting for assisted dying – and that’s just in one day. Through that blizzard of news, it can be hard to make out the lasting changes in the landscape – even those that have profound implications for our place in the world.

The US isn't really a stable and reliable partner any more. And now that we're not in the EU we're less of an asset for the US. I'm definitely in favour of closer ties to Europe again.

Unless China wants to work something out. I'm easy.

I think the EU will also be forced to get closer to China when the US is going more in the "America first" direction. If they will introduce massive tarifs the EU probably has to look for other countries to trade with.

You want to work things out with a brutal regime like China? A country who has getting revenge on Britain for the “century of humiliation” as one of their driving goals?

Sorry I’m not a Zoomer who gets their political views from a streamer.

Maybe you should lay off the tankie and learn something about how Chinese nationalism works?
