NOBODY born this century voted for Brexit.
More than 1 in 10 Brexit voters have died since 2016.

Dynamic alignment with the EU is not good for Britain. It is bad and the Government is creating fake or misleading economic reasons to justify it.
Ultimately, this is about taking Britain back into the EU step by step. There is no way in which a country of our size and wealth would benefit from following regulations designed and set by Brussels.
Everything a Minister briefs about trade barriers and market access is a distraction. Britain has a free trade agreement with the EU, tariff-free and quota-free. We have market access and the latest trade figures show a healthy trading relationship between Britain and Europe, with British services exports performing very well.
Dynamic alignment means the entire British economy must follow EU rules, whether British businesses trade with the EU or not. Once again, the EU will be able to dictate the terms on which a British business trades with a British consumer.
When it comes to SPS rules, this means that the EU will be able to inspect British farms to see if they meet EU standards, even if those farms sell to the British market and not into Europe. This is a form of economic subjugation that should be beneath any sort of sovereign, democratic nation.
The EU Reset is a dead end for Britain, a road to nowhere.

@ianrich15813274 I'm a old age pensioner and 2016 was the only time in my lifetime I got a vote on it

63% of Brits would now vote to rejoin the EU.
That’s not a marginal shift. That’s a country that’s changed its mind.
The question isn’t “why talk about rejoining?”
It’s: why are we still pretending this hasn’t happened?

Ambition Before Duty. The Minister Who Put Her Career Ahead of the Law.
Next Wednesday marks one year since the Supreme Court ruled, unanimously and without ambiguity, that sex under the Equality Act means biological sex. One year since the law was settled. One year since the Equality and Human Rights Commission drafted its code of practice setting out what that ruling requires of hospitals, schools, gyms and public bodies. One year since Bridget Phillipson received that code and chose to sit on it.
What has changed in twelve months is not the law. The judgment stands. The code is ready. What has changed is the credibility of the minister charged with implementing it. Baroness Falkner, who led the EHRC until November and oversaw the drafting of that code, has now said plainly what many had suspected: Phillipson is withholding guidance not because it requires further work, but because publishing it would cost her politically. The activist MPs whose votes she needs for promotion would not forgive her. So women wait, and the minister keeps her powder dry (Martin, 2026).
That is a specific accusation, made by a specific person with direct knowledge of the process. It is not a political opponent guessing at motive. Falkner submitted the code. She watched it stall. She knows what ready looks like, and she knows the guidance is ready. Her conclusion, that personal ambition is the operative factor, carries weight that no government spokesman can easily dismiss. The Labour response, that Falkner had demeaned the office she once held, did not address the substance. It attacked the witness. Which leaves the charge unanswered.
Consider what the title Secretary of State for Women and Equalities actually represents. Not a departmental portfolio in the ordinary sense, but a stated commitment, a promise woven into the office itself. To hold that title while deliberately withholding the legal protections owed to the women you nominally represent is a contradiction so stark it requires no elaboration. The office makes the accusation. Falkner supplies the motive. The anniversary provides the measure.
Falkner went further still, and her wider observation deserves to be heard. She drew a parallel with the grooming gangs scandal, noting that this government has a pattern of institutional inaction driven by fear of upsetting particular constituencies. The comparison is uncomfortable precisely because it is not new. The structure is familiar: a known problem, a clear remedy, a minister unwilling to act because the political cost of action outweighs, in their private calculation, the human cost of delay. Those doing the waiting are never the ministers.
Starmer's position is untenable on its own terms. He told Parliament the ruling must be implemented in full. His minister is arguing for a case-by-case approach that restores the incoherence the court rejected. He is a lawyer. He knows what a unanimous Supreme Court judgment means. He also knows what his backbenchers want. The gap between those two things is where women's rights currently reside.
The government's rebuttal speaks of sober leadership and treating everyone with dignity. Fine words. But dignity is not delivered by a code of practice that lives in a ministerial drawer. Protection is not real if it exists only in statute while the guidance that would make it operational is suppressed for career reasons. The court has done its work. The EHRC has done its work. One minister has not done hers.
"Phillipson is withholding guidance not because it requires further work, but because publishing it would cost her politically."

@Trinacria13 Why should Fury fight Kabayel ? Not on Furys radar. Agit Kabayel is the official No1 contender for Usyk's world title and Usyk is running scared of the guy and that's a fact!

This guy is utterly delusional… incredible that the charlatan Johnson put such a clown in charge of such an important negotiation. It will take years to undo the damage done.
