EU is willing to fuck over its own members who they consider to be ‘periphery’ (PIIGS) or having trade deficits (even though the trade deficits were keeping surplus countries like Germany alive). I think it’s ultimately a good thing U.K. left that neoliberal union. Unfortunately, U.K. politics is broken and none of the parties, including Reform are willing to go beyond neoliberalism.

Now that Germany doesn’t have many markets to export to, it is suffering too.
