Honestly the article doesn’t do a good job of explaining the problem, or how it’s going to be fixed.

It’s not great.

But states that the UK had 3 certified labs until 2021. That closed due to cost.

I assume those labs used to sell services to the EU, but Brexit made that more complex. So they closed or moved to the EU. Now Brexit means we can’t use them.

But yeah the article leads you to assume rather than explaining, So it could be total bollocks.

As for how it will be fixed. Not sure if that is the media’s job unless the gov has announced a plan.

Yeah that is what happens in the world. When one side discovers how stupid their claim to a win was.

The other side gets to take the piss out of their stupidity.

Not sure you really have a point.

Yeah but we did not need to leave the EU.

To pay the french to make that.

Ah so France is the US stepdad.

And suddenly a lot of modern porn makes more sense.

Add to that. Distrust in government by younger citizens. So much recent news about current and past UK wrongs.

I’m surprised any younger recruits exist.

Sorta like the brexit vote.

Technically, France is more daddy to the US. Given its France they turned to when separating from the UK. We’re more of the laudanum addicted mummy, blaming them for the fact we got old and ugly.

As much as I hate Brexin as a name. Brin is better.

Honestly, us brits that watched from the mid 80s. (was born in 70). And supported the EU agree with you.

We had a huge majority to join in 74. But never really seemed to feel a part of the union.

Much of it was our gov and media blaming the EU for crap. Heck, to the point, the EU had a website dedicated to UK press lies.

But none of the UK press seemed to take up that story until Brexit. When the harm was already done. Even then it was minimal.

Honestly, we seem to have some of the most corrupt press in Europe.

IThe issue with trials like this. Is the fact the participants know they are temporary.

There is a big difference between the things you can do with a short term cash flow. And a long term one.

And homelessness is more often about a lack of consistant income then short term.

The difference and how people choose to use it. Often leads to false data.

I wish her the best.

Honestly, back in the 80-90s I had the same wish. And in the late 90s honestly thought we were heading that way.

Son is now 34. Honestly question if he will live long enough.

This. Just require all gov products and documentation to be open. (unless military and even then open were possible)

Creating a new distro is not needed. Let users or nation gov bodies select or create as they see fit.

Wow. Not OP. But TIL Born in UK lived in both UK and US. This is the first I am learning the word is different here. Thanks

That said, the whole way the UK democratic process works. MPs are expected to be the ones to call party leadership into question. Both Labour Party rules and the structure of parliament are designed that way.

So even though I disagreed with her.

While coup may be correct. Objecting to a party leader because you disagree with them is in no way right wing.

To accuse her of being right wing. You honestly need views or policies she supports tha are right of centre.

Not saying she does or does not have any. With the Overton window so far right atm. It can be hard to agree a line. But objecting to and rebelling against a party leader is not it alone.

Assuming a true vote. Rather than one filled with false claims. (yeah, that ain’t going to happen)

Dispense with the monarchy is likely the only one unlikely to win.

While, numbers are way higher than in the past. Distrust of UK democracy still means well under 50% are comfortable with any proposed replacement. So much like brexit. Without multiple incompatible offers to replace. A vote to end our current system will fail.

And honestly, as a nation, those most opposed to the system are not those most likely to fall for the false claims of a new one.

Basically post UK history with republics. (1690s) And recent distrust in politicians. You need to agree and sell the replacement before removing the current system.

Would the EU even allow Britain back in at this point?

Can only guess. But If they even considered it. I expect they would want a clear majority vote. 66% or above would be my guess.

I imagine the terms would be much less favourable if they did

Likely the same as any new nation joining.

I imagine the pound wouldn’t be allowed anymore for a start. You want back in? Adopt the euro.

Like many new nations joining. That would be less simple. As Joining the Euro has economic requirements. I can actually see the UK promising to adopt the Euro one day. Then never really working to do anything beyond accept it in the UK along with GPB. Because joining the Euro is always an eventual requirement for new nations, rather than an immediate one. If Europeans can spend euros in the UK. I can’t actually see the EU forcing the UK to join any time soon.

That is of course ignoring point one is unlikely to happen.

Brexit makes no sense in any world.

Except the one invented in Farage etcs brain farts.

Labour had 9.7m voters. Tories 6.8m

2m signing a pole dose not come close to representing the folks who did not vote for them in the first place.

Why the hell would anyone expect that number to cause a revote. If it did we would end up with genral elections every 6 months at least.

While we have FPTP, 3rd party voting will always be seen as dangerous. Because it is.

The issue here is not him being noticed. It that unless he is willing to do this Dance every day till Starmer Dies. He is going to look like an idiot. Starmer has absolutely 0 motive to respond. So at some point Ed is going to go back on his “dance on TikTok every day until he accepts” claim. Meaning he will look like his promises are worthless.

All over a video game challenge that means nothing politics wise.

will dance on TikTok every day until he accepts

Why should Starmer care?

Seriously, I can’t see Eds goal here. Starmer will ignore it. Ed will look like an idiot.

And what the hell is playing a video games expected to achieve?

Oh I see what you are saying now. Yeah a better word.
