@lellyparker Well, doesn't really come across like that, when "British people" are still demanding, to "join the EUs SM asap, a bit of FOM included"... Right now the UK doesn't even fulfill the needed criteria for APPLYING for EU membership. Joining the EUs SM/EEA/CU is available for EU and EFTA member states ONLY, not though for 3rd countries !! According to article 126 of the EEA Agreement = SPECIFIES that membership is open to member states either of the EU and or EFTA member states ONLY. EEA = EUs SM NOT negotiatable !! Norway and Iceland/EFTA, are stating since years, that they'll veto the UK joining EFTA, because they don't want a "trouble maker in their club". Only option available for the UK is to apply for EU membership by fulfilling the Copenhagen Criteria FIRST. Estimated time needed for joining the EU are minimum 15+ years AFTER fullfilling the Copenhagen Criteria FIRST. Every EU member state can leave the EU27 on its own free will, but it's up to the EU27 only, to decide, which country can join the EU and when.

Further away than you might think. But, it's not the Copenhagen Criteria only, as it's up to the EU27 only, to decide, which country can join the EU and when. Right now the EU27 don't have any appetite to have the UK back in their club.

@Cider4144 Yes. This is, what nobody over here at the Continent understands.. over here Brexit isn't even an issue anymore, only for those people, which have family and friends in the UK, like my London born spouse, who had to get dual citizenship because of Brexit, eventhough didn't have a say at the referendum/longer than 15 years abroad, but was trapped in this as well, like so many other... So many of us over here are trying to inform as much as possible, did already the same BEFORE the referendum, EUs Commission installed a site extra for the Brits only BEFORE the referendum "all about EU - FAQs", one just had to type "EU" and it would have popped up, as it was set up on priority... Unfortunately the Brits decided to look up about the EU AFTER the referendum, as stated by Google "the most asked question in the UK AFTER the referendum was = what is the EU?". Since months the EUs Commission is stating clear messages towards the UK, and is doing so the whole time, but seems to never get heard once... Like that there aren't "re-negotiations" on the table, but a REVIEW coming up to check the implementation of the TCA... Phil, Max, etc, are still talking about "joining the EUs SM/EEA etc asap", telling them how it goes, that those "option" aren't available for 3rd countries, never get a response... The UKs electorate have to sort their internal issues ASAP, media included, .. And yes, I'm afraid, that neither you nor my London born spouse and I will see the UK be back in the EU27 in our life time... I wish you all the best with greetings from Bremen 🍻 👋 Edit typo/autocorrect

Errr...NO. Support for Ukraine will go ahead as before = military equipment and training for Ukrainian soldiers, humanitarian aid etc, just no more cash for a while, as that was done since 2014...

@Cider4144 Every EU member state can veto any applying country at any time from applying for EU membership..one veto is enough to stop the whole process of joining... The EUs COUNCIL = are the EUs member states GVTS !!

The Balkans weren't EU member states at that time...and even until todays, some of them aren't..

It rather was Steve Bannon (ex consultant of Trump and ex boss of Breitbart)...

Im Somnerinterview hat Chrupalla gesagt, dass "im Fall der Fälle Thüringen seine Landesgrenzen zu den Bundesländern schließen würde, nach vorheriger Ausweisung aller Menschen mit Migrationshintergrund". Gruselig.

Estimated time needed for joining the EU are minimum 15+ years AFTER fullfilling the Copenhagen Criteria FIRST. Starmer knows that... The UK has the TCA with the EU27... Some weeks ago the EUs Commission stated/analogous "that the EU is very happy with the TCA, that it's very balanced for BOTH sides, and that the Commission is taking care of further implementation of the TCA at the REVIEW coming up". The EUs Commission started an infringement procedure against the UK recently, as it still hasn't implemented properly any of the deals, it signed with the EU27. Starmer got informed about that subject, when visiting the EU27.

EVERY EU member state has one voice, Malta (about 550.000 people) the same as Germany (about 84ish million people), every EU member state has one voice !! The EU27 are a ever evolving and developing peace project based on solidarity and respect for all EUropean member states with its SM/EEA included to benefit its 450ish million citizens and its member states. "United in diversity, all for one, one for all, together we're strong", THAT are the EU27 😊 💪 Right now the EU27 don't have any appetite to have the UK back in their club..

@Cider4144 It goes like that ONLY = the UK has to apply for EU membership by fulfilling the Copenhagen Criteria FIRST (which would be monitored by the EUs Commission), if NONE of the EU27 member states vetos the UK joining the EU, one veto is enough to stop the whole process, only then the UK/GB would receive the status as a "candidate for EU membership", and then the 35 chapters have to be fulfilled and implemented properly (which would be monitored by the EUs Commission), if not done properly, joining process stops instantly, which could take decades. Every EU member state has one voice, Malta (about 550.000 people) the same as Germany (about 84ish million people), every EU member state has one voice. Various EUs member states stated recently/analogous, that they'll "wouldn't even take UKs application form" at the moment... Forgot to say = the EUs Commission is WORKING ON BEHALF of the EU27 member states !!

"We had the chance to end the .." 😂 Right, the EU27 are collapsing again since decades at any minute...the very British exceptionlism is huge again here 😂 Thanks for Brexiting with greetings from the EU27 👋

 @caballoloco100 Well, Slowenia, Bulgaria, Romenia, Croatia, Slowakia joined the EU already...

@peterwilson5528 Well, it's not "the EU27", nor that country you're living in, but the loss of value of the £ since Brexit, which was about 30ish %.. In case you have to pay tax in that country, you're living in, well = that's how it goes 😂

It never paid its full membership fee due to the "Brit bargain" since Thatcher, instead it paid about one third of it only, but got about 10 times of it back ...due to those hundreds of trade agreements etc, the EU27 have with countries all over the world and being within the EUs SM/EEA/CU, which is for EU and EFTA member states ONLY... The UK lost £ 100 billion due to Brexit in 2022 The UK lost £ 140 billion due to Brexit in 2023 | Bloomberg and Financial Times Since January this year the "passporting" went back into the EU27, June 2025 the "Euroclearing" will be back in the EU27, then Brexit is complete, as the transition period of FOM for capital ends June 2025. This is a huge loss for the City of London, as those financial services are making up about one third of worlds market for clearing services = a value of £ 260 trillion per year. Those figures don't include the loss of the clearing services yet. Edit typo/autocorrect

@edmondinyang3305 Leaving the EU automaticly includes leaving the EUs SM/EEA/CU, according to article 126 of the EEA Agreement = SPECIFIES that membership is open to member states either of the EU and or EFTA member states ONLY !! EEA = EUs SM NOT negotiatable !! It rather were the UKs negotiators, which were demanding continiously to stay in the EUs SM without being EU member state anymore...at some point Barnier stated "that he is fed up to explain the Brits, how the EU works". It was a fairy tale dream of the Brexiteers only, to think, that leaving the EU would change everything for the Continental EUropeans only, not though for the Brits 😂 Btw, that "special version" the Brexiteers meant with "soft Brexit" 😂

There is no "associatian" available, like the "two, three, four tiered EU", as that was a French-German think tank only, who had a brainstorming about that...this pops up every five years since ages, to then disappear in the draws again. The UK doesn't even fulfill the needed criteria for APPLYING for EU membership at the moment. Every EU member state can leave the EU27 on its own free will, but it's up to the EU27 only, to decide, which country can join the EU and when. Right now the EU27 don't have any appetite to have the UK back in their club.

Brexit came into force February 1st 2020. Since January this year the "passporting" went back into the EU27, June 2025 the "Euroclearing" will be back in the EU27, then Brexit is complete, as the transition period of FOM for capital ends June 2925. This is a huge loss for the City of London, as those financial services are making up about one third of worlds market for clearing services = a value of £ 260 trillion per year 😂 Thanks for Brexiting with greetings from the EU27 👋
