Should we try to bolster our friendship with Europe?

The author claims that the UK government “must unambiguously launch talks on a big, expansive trade deal with the EU coupled with a deal on European defence”.

Do you agree?

    Holding a grudge is for losers. UK is more than welcome to rejoin as far as I’m concerned, speaking as a Swede.

      Agreed and I feel like people are sleepwalking on this. Between Russian agression and concerns from the USA and China - we shouldn’t just be welcoming the UK, we should be working hard to bring them back to the fold. If the EU want to keep living in a world where the EU is possible, they’ve got to start making stronger efforts to protect and shape it.

        I’d say anything’s negotiable, really. No need to limit ourselves from either side of the table.

        If you can take a ferry to the EU from Canada, you should be able to join.

      Well, I don’t care either way personally. I’m just saying, not everybody is ready to welcome them back, should they so desire.
