Brexit makes no sense in a world dominated by Trump. Britain’s place is back in the EU (www.theguardian.com)

It’s one damned thing after another. As Keir Starmer is discovering, government, like life, can feel like a fusillade of events, each coming faster than the one before. If it’s not a cabinet minister resigning over a past fraud conviction, it’s MPs voting for assisted dying – and that’s just in one day. Through that blizzard of news, it can be hard to make out the lasting changes in the landscape – even those that have profound implications for our place in the world.

Brexit is to the UK like tariffs are to the USA. The bulk of voters in both countries didn't understand what they were voting for or what the implications were.
