I refer to previous correspondence. There is no 'canzuk union'. It is a delusion, one of the last vestiges of the #GlobalBritain fantasies which led to the UK Brexiting itself for nothing. There's nothing beyond tepid air. Beware those who would sell you such bilge.

5/5 Geopolitical stakes: with the Strait of #Hormuz virtually closed, PM Keir Starmer seeks an allied coalition. Given its reduced fleet, the #Royal Navy's role might be limited to Mine Countermeasures (MCM), a traditional UK expertise. 🏁⚖️ #GlobalBritain #RoyalNavy #Geopolitics #MaritimeSecurity
5/5 Enjeu géopolitique : le détroit d'#Hormuz est virtuellement fermé. Keir Starmer cherche une coalition alliée, mais avec une flotte réduite, le rôle de la #Royal Navy pourrait se limiter à la lutte contre les mines (MCM), une expertise historique du Royaume-Uni. 🏁⚖️ #GlobalBritain #RoyalNavy
the EU was so terrified of the UK leaving that they'd simply roll on the "deal". EU > UK migration would end, but retiring in Portugal for UK people would be just fine.
oh, and #UKCA would be accepted for goods, even if wildly divergent from #CE
as for #GlobalBritain hasn't that gone well!
🇬🇧 PM Sir Keir Starmer had a great time in Munich with world leaders and especially European, and Union ones.
But how can Sir Keir talk about #GlobalBritain and stepping up to its global responsibilities, when it can't even afford its crucial 'softpower' global radio station?!
The #BBCWorldService
I wasn't aware of this. I'm shocked.
I wonder if there's an EU opportunity in someway for suppport?
Britain without a BBC World Service is not a #GlobalBritain, that's for sure.
Britain's 'dilemmas' aren't new. They're a century-long pattern of post-imperial denial. After Suez in 1956, they chose fantasy over reality. Brexit is just the latest act. #GlobalBritain #ForeignPolicy

From the very people whinging about Starmer’s #China stance:
#Brexit
#GlobalBritain and
‘the Special Relationship’.
All bollocks.
Get real.
...and rightly a (the?) world power.
fond of picking and fighting wars.
without the resources of the empire, the UK is a much less influential country
post #brexit #GlobalBritain envisaged the UK in a leadership role in the Commonwealth, but not the EU! www.thebritishacademy.ac.uk/publishing/r...
Theresa May promoted #globalbritain. Making a good impression wd be important for UK‘s “soft power”. Since then one embarrassment after another. And this “20 years” etc hits a new low. Starmer a human rights silk. Never believed in human rights? Feebly following orders from McSweeney? Awful.
Landed at Heathrow today. Plane duly parked up at a gate. Then we waited for 15 minutes for someone to come let us into the airport. But tell me how we’re full up and don’t need any more people comin’ o’er ‘ere. #globalbritain @mrjamesob.bsky.social
The India-UK relationship is a “living bridge” built on shared values & mutual benefit. ✨ This visit reinforces a commitment to a reliable & prosperous future together! 🌍 #StrategicPartnership #GlobalBritain #NewIndia 🧵

2016-2020 UK staggers drunkenly from the club after decades of rule-setting cooperation, mumbling about #GlobalBritain & treating everyone to pimply soiled Arsch.
2025 UK wonders why EU rules continued to be made in its absence & why UK interests are no longer EU considerations #WelcomeToTheBrexit
👇 Not just food! Europe would be swamped by US / China without a cohesive front! It's our continent and we should be part of it! #GlobalBritain 🤣🤣🤣 is just a football for bigger countries to kick around....... Ditch Brexit, get back in Europe before it's too late!
Absolutely this. UK is not (yet) ready to #RejoinEU. Too few knew what they were giving up by Brexiting & have learned little since. Media do them few favours & 'Socials' often mislead. #GlobalBritain is dead but UK has yet to agree where it truly belongs in the world!

🇬🇧🤝🇮🇳 What next?
• India hails the deal as “unprecedented”
• UK government insists fears are overblown
• Businesses eye smoother movement of workers and goods
A test of post-Brexit global ambition — and political coordination.
#GlobalBritain #Trade
UK's attempt to balance US and EU relations leaves it in a precarious position, writes Jenny Rhodes.
#GlobalBritain #StrategicChoices
Excellent example of #HashtagReset (as they call it in 🇪🇺)
A #Reset does not exist when in vibes only.
Changing the UK govt has not changed the #Exceptionalism, now reinforced by #Labourism instead of #GlobalBritain.
A willingness of collaboration within rules and citizen rights is the 🔑 to trust.
Despite Brexit, UK's place in Europe is undeniable. EU leaders seek UK's defence expertise, but trade integration is crucial.
Jenny Rhodes asks if the UK can forge a new role, balancing global alliances with economic needs.

Imagine Brexit hadnt happenned and student visas remained the way they were. We would now be attracting record numbers of international students that are currently avoiding the US, and with that money keeping our staff and hiring some of the best researchers in the world. Well done #GlobalBritain
EU leaders pledge support to Ukraine and boost defence spending
Europe: finally uniting on defense. Ukraine: still fighting for survival. The UK: sitting on the sidelines. Brexit was meant to give us control—yet we’ve never been more powerless. Where’s the UK’s strategy in this new world? #GlobalBritain? […]

"Despite complaints from some of the pro-Brexit papers, Keir Starmer and the government are not planning anything today to mark the occasion."
Surely they could organise a wake for #GlobalBritain?
I love the fact that ‘Brexit could be helping’ is really code for ‘We are now such a pain the arse to sell to, a lot of countries can’t be arsed’. So much #winning for #globalbritain….
