The conduct of Ed Sheeran and the support acts who have withdrawn from his tour is very instructive for us non entertainers as well. When you look back on your career, it's not the size of your house and your bank balance that matters. It's having self-respect.

4/4 Calling the government "pro-independence" erases the very design of the Good Friday Agreement framework. When discussing the constitutional future of the island of Ireland, precise terminology is important. End.

No regret as Brexit strengthened the EU and also because you can’t regret what you were not a part of. Brexit was a 100% a UK fuck up. The EU, its MSs and 450+ million citizens were not involved at all. Why would we like for an unreformed and entitled UK to join. Again we function better without…

The UK thought it could start at 100% of MS benefits, and negotiate downwards, giving up as few benefits as possible; the reality was that, having left, it started with 0% benefits and had to negotiate up from there, trying in that way to secure as many of its former benefits as possible.

That's right. Unlike what PM May thoughf, we negotiate up from zero, not choose the bits of Europe that suit the UK

Ken Paxton was indicted for scamming his own friends. He convinced them to invest hundreds of thousands in a company while secretly pocketing a commission. Paxton sold out his own friends for a quick buck. What makes you think he won't sell you out in the Senate?

…Brexit was delivered. Britain got what it demanded: sovereignty, borders, external status and reduced integration. The issue is not that Brexit failed to happen. The issue is that too many people are only now discovering what Brexit actually meant in practice.

It is actually rather insulting to suggest that the UK is so infantile that it cannot take responsibility for the consequences of its decision, or that the rest of the world ought to change its ways of operating to avoid hurting the UK's feelings. The UK must operate in the real world.

What’s striking about the UK Brexit debate isn’t just that it’s wrong, it’s that people often know it’s wrong but say it anyway. Claims get debunked, conceded, then recycled because they’re useful. That’s not confusion. It’s a habit of dishonesty that passes for debate.

Get a grip. Anyone is "at the whim of the EU” is a really offensive way to frame it. Brexit is a UK choice. After that, the EU27 applying our laws isn’t “doing what we like”, it’s the predictable consequence of the UK opting out of shared rights and rule-making.
