And Ben Abib, it's a bitter irony, is it not, that this Brexit bonus, this Brucie bonus
0:06
has landed on Sakir Starmer's doormat at No. 10 Downing Street, because here's the bloke
0:12
who tried to stop Brexit for three years. Absolutely. And the other thing that I'm sure Starmer, who is so ideologically wed to being
0:20
part of the European Union, will be mulling over is that as our trading relationship relatively
0:26
with the U.S. improved compared to the EU. The U.K. will be drawn away from the EU naturally into the Anglosphere
0:35
into the American, you know, United Kingdom sphere, historical sphere of trade and cooperation
0:41
And so the ties that he's been working so hard to create with the European Union actually are going to be under real stress
0:47
and we will be forced to look across the Atlantic. And again, I'm delighted by that
0:52
And the next natural step for the United Kingdom under this kind of trade pressure or trade advantage rather I should say the EU is under the trade pressure would be for us to then mimic the other things that the US is doing like ditching net zero ditching DEI deregulating cutting taxes all of this will become natural for the UK as we pivot away from the sporadic introverted malignant organism that is the European Union
1:23
And we look across the Atlantic to the optimism that goes with the Trump presidency
1:28
Sir Benefib, is now the moment, do you think, this Remainer Prime Minister back in the day should just say
1:35
I am a Brexiteer and I'm proud, because here's a chance here to use this benefit, this special trading relationship
1:42
over and above the EU to get the best deal for Britain? Well, the best thing he could do right now
1:48
he's slightly intellectually challenged, isn't he, our Prime Minister, and we know that he's essentially anti-British
1:54
So the best thing that I would hope of Starmer right now is to do nothing. He is anti-British. He wants us to rejoin the EU. Absolutely, Chris
2:03
That's ridiculous. No, no, no. Let's have this discussion. If you wish, as the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom
2:09
to give up power to a third party to give up power to foreign power to take down your borders in that process to give up your currency you are effectively anti And we know he of this disposition
2:22
because in September 2023, when he thought he was off camera in Montreal, he said
2:28
if I should become prime minister, this was before the general election, if I should become prime
2:32
minister, I will align us so closely with the EU that you won't be able to tell the difference
2:37
between whether or not we're members. And that is an inherently anti-British position
2:42
And that's why I'm smiling from ear to ear today. You're shaking your head, Chris, but it's a fact
2:48
That's why I'm smiling from ear to ear today, because he's been dragged out of the EU
2:53
by trade policy set by the Trump presidency. He can't but help now look across the Atlantic
3:00
and be drawn to that trading relationship. Away from the EU, which, according to Bondi Leyen
3:06
is about to make things even worse for themselves. Are you saying that people who voted Remain were anti-British
3:13
It's a ridiculous thing to say. That's nearly half the country. Not at all
3:18
It is not a ridiculous thing to say At the heart of the European project let have this debate It going back to 2016 At the heart of the European project is an antipathy to nation states It
3:31
the empowerment of Brussels to the detriment of nation states, taking down borders across Europe
3:36
When you take power away from democratically elected governments, when you remove borders
3:42
when you govern centrally from Brussels, effectively, you are anti-nation states. If you're pro-EU, you are anti-nation state
3:49
If you're anti-nation state and you are the prime minister of the United Kingdom, you are anti-British
3:55
And that's where Starmer is. And that's where so many EU heads of state are
3:59
They don't seem to have woken up to the reality that the inevitable end result of the European Union is the end of France, the end of Germany
4:09
That's where they want to take this project. More power to Brussels, less power to democratically elected governments in each of those member states
4:17
No borders, as we know, in Europe. Greater regulation, greater socialism delivered from on high in Brussels to the detriment of the German people, French people, Italians and so on
4:29
And Starmer is of that mind. That's why I say he's anti-British
