this event was called brexit.ning the english phrase british exit. which translated means britain goes down to one word. let's try to figure out why brexit happened and what consequences it led to. here you need to look at the background, this is the financial and economic crisis, which was the predecessor of brexit. greece faced serious problems and the europeans did not really want to finance the greek national debt from the general fund, which , in general, did not adhere very strictly to budget discipline, the british , of course, were not happy with this either, along with germany, and then and after that immediately the migration crisis, the arab spring, the infamous island of lampedusa, through which... refugees from the countries of the middle east, engulfed in civil war, found their way to europe, then, through, among other things, the lomanche canal and to great britain, all this overlapped, and then laborists and conservatives simply decided to negotiate slightly more favorable terms for themselves in t

getting brexit done.e honest with me. how disappointed do you feel ? disappointed do you feel? >> i don't feel disappointed at all. and you know today i visited a school in my constituency, um, turves green boys school , a challenging boys school, a challenging school has been in special school which has been in special measures i remember spending measures and i remember spending at first two years of at least the first two years of my time in parliament with the left labour party and the left and labour party and the snp about brexit, etc, snp moaning about brexit, etc, and like the erasmus and things like the erasmus scheme and how it was going to deny of children to deny generations of children to come. opportunities. well, i'm afraid erasmus was basically for middle class kids with parents who sharp elbow elbows who had got sharp elbow elbows today i heard about how dozens of children from a working class community in birmingham are basically going around the world finding new experiences , having fi

a self—styled warrior of the brexit battles is back.es a partial and incomplete solution. the feeling very much in the meeting is that the government will be best advised to pull the bill, and to come up with a revised version that works better than this one, which has so many holes in it. those who see themselves as moderates in the conservative party met tonight and said they will back the government tomorrow but note their caveat. we the government tomorrow but note their caveat-— their caveat. we said you've gone within an inch _ their caveat. we said you've gone within an inch of— their caveat. we said you've gone within an inch of what we - their caveat. we said you've gone within an inch of what we can - within an inch of what we can stomach. if you go any further we won't stomach it. we will go for a second reading. we thick it is important for the stability of the government we do that. we aren't going to support anything in the future that threatens our international obligations. the government _ international obligations. the

here we are, seven almost eight years since brexit happened and i think the reaction to brexit at the watching what is going on here, i know that the united states is looking for a solution sooner than later that doesn't involve further uprising in northern ireland as things have been relatively calm over the last couple of years. relatively calm over the last couple of ears. ,., , relatively calm over the last couple of ears. , , ., ., of years. the polls show that overwhelmingly _ of years. the polls show that overwhelmingly people - of years. the polls show that overwhelmingly people in i of years. the polls show that - overwhelmingly people in northern ireland believe that no party should be able to collapse the assembly. is it time for reform and would a british government go there? i don't see much appetite _ british government go there? i don't see much appetite for _ british government go there? i don't see much appetite for revisiting - british government go there? i don't see much appetite for revisiting the l see much appetite for revisiting the good _ see much appetite for

the real issuej for the dup is brexit, essentially. and the post—brexit trading arrangements.d brexit, but the decisions afterwards they are not happy with. essentially, when goods are coming in from other parts of the united kingdom into northern ireland, they have to undergo checks. the dup says that is meaning they are treated differently to england, scotland and wales, and they feel that their place in the union, which is very important to them, is at stake, and they are incredibly unhappy. i would say for the dup, the issue is not so much about money going into northern ireland, but these trade tracks. the thing is, all of these decisions have to be agreed with the european union and the british government. there have been tweaks already to the trade agreements with the european union, but it would be inconceivable for the eu to say that it's coming to northern ireland have to undergo no checks. that is the situation for the dup, and we have heard from them that it seems very unlikely that they are now going to do any sort of deal before christmas. there was a lot of opti

but that's because the issue of brexit was successful . it's brexit was successful.m for stand election so many times absolutely thrashed times and be absolutely thrashed every time . every single time. >> but james, you know, i put it to you again that nigel said himself this morning when he began campaign on brexit. it was a fringe element at best that no one had real interest in, one had any real interest in, apart rump of the apart from the rump of the tories in the 1970s. and it was not only put on the mainstream agenda, but the reference item was referendum was was held. the referendum was won, and british political history has been changed. and nigel farage, you know, you don't need to like the guy, but nigel farage was the engine of that movement. and that sense that movement. and in that sense , when we're facing a tory party now, appears to be now, which appears to be directionless, appears directionless, it appears to be divided over rwanda, over immigration, an and here we are again. we are going to be facing an immigration election now , an immigration e

look, generally speaking, he paid a lot for his anti-brexit activities. well, to be honest, i don't think they will return to the eu, given that among the conservative this idea is very unpopular among the electorate, but if the government changes, the conservatives will lose the elections, which is quite likely ... there were agreed lines on the part of others, but at the same time cause mentions, numerous mentions, we know that the public is very dissatisfied with cameron, he did not fulfill a single promise that he made within the framework, not a single one, because there were partial changes associated, for example, with his green agenda, and even when he promised, for example, to reduce taxes, in the end by the fifteenth year it turned out that taxes increased by 200 pounds for each british citizen, during the covid period he lobbied . the only thing that matters to them is what they think for themselves, how to do the right thing, that is, in this regard, we see a shortage of personnel as well. and cameron is also called a pro-american candidate, a

everyone always had different visions of what brexit would be.t wasn't necessary a one fits all, necessary a one size fits all, but i think we have delivered it and i think it's also making sure that we're delivering for people the promises that they people on the promises that they wanted from brexit. wanted to see from brexit. >> well, one of the >> well, gary, one of the promises was to control our borders . yeah, have had borders. yeah, and we have had illegal and indeed illegal immigration and indeed legal immigration running at numbers this room numbers that nobody in this room would have believed even possible years ago. possible just a few years ago. and you know, you yourself were one of the early mps saying that bofis one of the early mps saying that boris had let the country down. i an 80 seat majority , so i mean, an 80 seat majority, so much good change could have been put place. be honest, it's put in place. be honest, it's been squandered a bit. >> don't think it has. if you >> i don't think it has. if you look events which have loo
