The first week of the Battle of Brexit has ended with Theresa May on top and President Jean-Claude Juncker drowning his sorrows in Geneva. Not bad for the first few days of what we expect to be a two year battle to death. Just over a week ago, Juncker leaked details of a private dinner in which he is said to have told May that “Brexit could never be a success.” The spin employed in the leak represented a fundamental misunderstanding of the British: The implication was that th

The European Union has committed suicide in the shape of a press leak in a German newspaper over Brexit. The details of last Wednesday’s dinner between President Jean-Claude Juncker and Theresa May exposed why Brussels will be the ultimate loser from Britain’s departure. Officially, Brussels wants some sort of a deal with Britain—and the British have acted in good faith to seek it. But in reality what they need is money. Juncker himself admitted that the EU cannot continue wi

Today Sir Kier Starmer, the Labour Party’s Brexit spokesman, laid out his plans for Britain’s future if his party wins the election on June 8. His policy was similar to that of the Liberal Democrats, and indeed most of the House of Lords. It can be roughly summarized as ‘a total sellout of British people.’ Read the full article at the New York Observer. #kierstarmer #labourparty #europe #eu #brexit #generalelection #ge17

Theresa May's lack of clarity ended today, with a 12-point plan for UK negotiations with the EU. Theresa May today set out her stall for Brexit, including a departure from the Single Market, and warned Brussels that any attempt to punish London would be “an act of calamitous self-harm.” She told an audience of European Ambassadors that the UK would no longer be subject to European Courts, nor pay into the EU, but would be willing to continue to supply counter-terrorism suppor

Ever since Britain’s referendum to leave the EU caused an earthquake in global politics six months ago, the mood in the UK has been gloomy. Pundits, politicians and business leaders have lined up to say how the British were either fools or liars to think we should be self-governing. In today’s speech, Theresa May blew that cynicism away. She stood up and told Europe that far from begging for mercy the British need to be respected. Why should we beg them not to give us a punis

It was supposed to be the seismic political event that shapes the world as we know it. A new (old) power emerging from the shackles of European Socialism to fight for free trade, Anglosphere power, and Western values. The sad news is that the people behind Brexit are the British, a bunch of old women who love to moan but are often short when it comes to actually doing anything. For decades my countrymen moaned about how much they hated the EU yet seemed incapable of opposi

Press TV has conducted an interview with a senior adviser to London's former mayor, Lee Jasper, and political commentator Andre Walker, both from London, to investigate a report by the UN Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination (CERD) accusing politicians in the United Kingdom of fanning the flames of hate crimes against minority groups in the weeks before and after the Brexit vote on June 23​.

As the glitz of the Rio 2016 closing ceremony fades, I have some bad news for every American: in case you hadn't noticed, you didn't just come top of the Olympic gold medal table after all. I know you were expecting to, and probably thought you did, but trust me you really didn't. I know this because I have consulted a European Union funded website called 'Medal Tracker' (www.medaltracker.eu). This group of experts have analysed all the results and concluded that... wait for

For decades, one of the world’s most significant religious figures was Mother Teresa of Calcutta, a nun who worked with the poorest in India. She was powerful, promoted by one of the most political Popes in the history of the Catholic Church. Teresa met heads of state, religious leaders, all in front of a cast of a TV audience of millions. Despite her numerous accolades and achievements, her death in 1997 went almost unnoticed. Had she fallen from grace, or did the public’s a

LONDON, United Kingdom - Pro-European spammers have fooled the British establishment into believing a million people a day have signed a petition to hold a second referendum on Brexit. The petition demands the referendum rules are retrospectively changed forcing a second vote on Britain’s membership of the EU. But doubts were raised about the authenticity of those signing after evidence that a code was being used emerged (right for lay people, techies click here). It shows ho

LONDON, United Kingdom - Working class voters in the traditional Labour heartlands of Northern England have flocked to the referendum polling stations today, according to grassroots leave campaigners. Activists believe these traditionalists are likely to back Brexit in areas Remain had expected to win easily. A pro-Brexit Councillor in the town of Wigan in Greater Manchester told TownHall he was “stunned” by the turnout. He claimed it was “no longer a case of if we will win W

HBO host John Oliver has called on British voters to continue to be rude to the European Union without voting to leave tomorrow. He suggested a British version of the EU's national anthem. The referendum is still neck and neck. #eu #europe #brexit #johnoliver #nationalanthem #hbo

LONDON, United Kingdom - The Chief Executive of British luxury sports car manufacturer, Aston Martin, has hinted Americans will get their cars cheaper if the UK leaves the European Union. Andy Palmer wrote to all of his employees to say Brexit would lead to a fall in the value of the pound, making all British exports cheaper, including his company's supercars. There has been a fierce debate in Britain about the effect Brexit might have on the car industry. The Remain campaign

LONDON, United Kingdom - The campaign to get Britain out of the European Union has fallen behind according to the latest poll. The figures put together by Survation show Remain 2 percent ahead, following the murder of Jo Cox MP on Thursday. Campaigning in the referendum was suspended for two days but during that time a rumor circulated that the killer had shouted "Britain First" during the attack. This led a number of national newspapers to suggest the murder was linked to Mr
