    So Sunak is an idiot, got it. He’d have been better off remaining silent, a response was not required.

      “I must say, I keep telling my children: ‘You have to fix it. We goofed it up, you have to fix it.’ So I think here too, the direction of travel – my personal opinion – is clear.”

        Corruption, most likely. She fucked up badly in German politics and destructed evidence against her.

        Well she at least has the insight to know that her generation of leadership in Europe has screwed up a whole lot. Most politicians can’t do that.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    At an event in Brussels on Tuesday night, von der Leyen admitted that European leaders had “goofed up” over the departure of Britain from the bloc and suggested the younger generation could “fix” it.

    Von der Leyenmade the comments at an awards ceremony staged by Politico as relations between the EU and the UK continue to improve following their near-collapse under Johnson and David Frost, who negotiated the Brexit trade deal.

    David Cameron, the UK’s foreign secretary, made his first official return to Brussels this week after departing No 10 in the wake of the 2016 Brexit referendum.

    In an article for the Unionist Voice website, she wrote that the UK government needed to act over the “tentacles of EU control over Northern Ireland”.

    There is no appetite in the EU to return to the toxicity of the Brexit years but Keir Starmer, the Labour leader, has repeatedly made it clear he wants to improve relations, with further alignment on issues such as veterinary standards, which cover farm produce, fresh food, leather goods, fish and timber.

    Senior business leaders and trade bodies have backed Starmer’s comments that Britain should not part from the European Union on standards ranging from the environment to employment.
