Britain is on a hell of a trajectory. First Brexit then the rise of Reform.

If that scam of a man wins the next election, it’ll be quite the show.

It's basically the same past trajectory of Germany, no? Many countries are on it right now.

Bailing out the EU was a big hit to the economy and not many countries have taken hits like that.

There are estimates as high as 10% of GDP, though 6-8% seem more agreed upon.

Reform reached 31% in the polls and have slipped to 26%. there’s a (slim) chance Farage will be beaten by a comedian in a bin.

Trump reached 55% and became president. Twice.

Pot. Kettle.

You're not wrong.

But unlike the USA, at least Britons realized Brexit was a mistake. And that Johnson was corrupt and a liar.

I am a citizen of both the UK and USA.

It is astonishing to me that Trump could be voted back in after attempting a coup.
