America was a mistake.

The EU can't offer Scotland candidate nation status under its current rules because Scotland's still part of the UK. If that changes, well, it won't be an automatic process, but given Scotland was in the EU and its predecessors for over forty years, it shouldn't be a massive problem to rejoin.

Turkey’s government have wound down their objections to Finland and Sweden joining NATO.

Countdown to the end of the UK!

If only someone hadn’t made it far more difficult to trade with neighbouring economies…

It was an internal Tory party vote of confidence rather than a House of Commons vote of confidence. I should’ve made that clearer.

Johnson survived the vote, but I don’t think he’ll last much longer…

General election incoming?
