I think they are. I've o facts on this but I get the sense that there is a definite groundswell of support in the UK to rejoin the EU in some way.

Have they not seen the post from the petulant conman that they he has won?

. . . politicians ?

It turns out that a casino is not the only sure-fire business that the petulant 'stable genius' conman can run into the ground.

"Winning"🤔...

Ah, a leak inquiry. That's sure to get to the bottom of things.

I'm not such a glass half empty person but I agree that it doesn't make any difference to our lives.

My point was only that the UK media haven't mentioned something which is generally considered to be positive because they report on Labour (+ Greens and Lib Dems) differently to the Cons and Reform.

I agree that it doesn't make any difference at all to our lives.
