UK and EU Strike Historic Post-Brexit Reset Deal at London Summit

The Spin

Starmer’s EU reset is a complete betrayal of Brexit. Surrendering fishing rights and aligning with EU standards enforced by foreign courts, the UK has traded sovereignty for servitude and has likely damaged its relationship with the U.S. in the process. Driven by ideology rather than common sense, this agreement is nothing more than democratic backsliding disguised within bureaucratic spin.

There is a 50% chance that the U.K. will apply to rejoin the EU in October 2038, according to the Metaculus prediction community.
