Chart showing results from a poll of 4,368 adults in the UK undertaken by YouGov between 5th September and 10th September 2025.

Polling last year by @bestforbritain.org showed that a large majority of the UK public support closer ties with the EU on defence and security, food and drink standards, and a youth mobility.

It would d surprise us if the majorities are not larger today!

TIL that you can’t fly in the EU with less than three months on your passport. Currently waiting to be escorted out of the airport like I got caught with coke up my arse. Sorry, Netherlands, I really really wanted to gig in you.

We are fast approaching the 10thΒ anniversary anniversary of the Brexit referendum. But what does the public think - was Brexit more of a failure or a success?

"Looking around now. Do we feel like a rich country? I don't really think so."

Meme that says: "A full inquiry must begin now into Reform's links to Steve Bannon and the Brexit operation after new details were revealed in the Epstein files. If Bannon can message Epstein, 'I've gotten pulled into the Brexit thing this morning with Nigel, Boris and Rees Mogg...', then Reform and Farage have a duty to explain the contacts and purpose behind them."

It’s a very dark story. They’re all tied together, from Epstein and Bannon to Farage.

Breaking:

The European Commission said on Tuesday it would investigate Mandelson, who was European trade commissioner from 2004-8 before leaving early to return to UK politics.

Mandelson draws a pension from his time there and has to adhere to a code of conduct for former staff.

If the UK is diminished on the world stage, it’s because of what the Conservatives delivered in 2016.

They own it.

The time for "Trump whispering" is over.

It's time for EU member states, the UK, and Norway, to take a strong united position against the Trump regime's aggression.

Because what we're seeing from Trump is undoubtedly aggression.

I think the White House badly underestimates the strength of the pan-European folk memory of 1930s appeasement, and how deep it still cuts. I suppose this is what happens when you learn in school that WW2 started in 1941 in Hawaii.

Brexit was sold as a lie, and the numbers prove it. Hearing the Chair of the Business and Trade Committee, Liam Byrne MP, speak so openly about the damage of Brexit is refreshing. Now, the Government should take action, to ensure no more damage can occur to our economy.

ONCE upon a time (a few months ago) a group of over-excited British commentators argued that one Brexit benefit was that the UK would not be involved in a trade war between Trump and the EU.
