UK Politics
General Discussion for politics in the UK.
Please don't post to both !uk_politics@feddit.uk and !unitedkingdom@feddit.uk .
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.
Posts should be related to UK-centric politics, and should be either a link to a reputable news source for news, or a text post on this community.
Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.
If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread. (These things should be publicly discussed)
Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.
Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.
!ukpolitics@lemm.ee appears to have vanished! We can still see cached content from this link, but goodbye I guess! :'(
Sigh
Facts:
There is no rejoin process
The joining process takes on average a decade

Versus your quoted ramblings of an old man in the Torygraph
A simple google will confirm Barnier's comments. First you say they are invalid because of the speaker, now you criticise the source when the speaker is highlighted as being extremely credible. A very poor attempt imo.
From your own link:
The reason some Eastern block countries take so long is because they have to change their own infrastructure. The UK does not have to do this. You are not comparing apples to apples.
The UK currently fails under this criteria. Starmer has made pledges to reverse all this crap within 100 days.
Does not apply to the UK once these scumbags are gone. Provided Starmer makes good on his commitments. We also have to renegotiate the TCA in 2025. One thing is certain is that the UK will align closer to the EU. This will facilitate any future requests to rejoin not hinder them. The days of divergence will die with the Tories.
Sure, the EU will let the UK jump to the front of the queue.
I thought you might have a better grasp of politics than that
Whilst having nothing to contradict what I am stating. Having an inane belief in an opinion does not make it true.
Finally you get it!
:D
