Euroscepticism

He's now going, oh, well, I can't do all the EU-y things I thought I was going to do when I was made prime minister.

because of this dastardly annoying president who doesn't like the EU and this dastardly stupid constitutional setup that is Eurosceptic and prioritises Polish needs.

So I'm going to therefore try and barricade and remove all the judges and change it and then in future be like, well, sorry, it's now turned out by law, the EU law is supreme, so we've got to have the migrants.

That's basically what's going on.

It's not a debate that you...

Like the whole European issue to begin with, you know, Euroscepticism or Eurofanaticism, whichever side you were on, pre the Brexit referendum, those were niche pastimes in this country, right? It was never at the top of people...

It was very rarely at the top of people's lists to think or... be obsessed about the EU thinking it was marvelous or thinking it was terrible.

It was then the kind of rise of UKIP and the run up to the referendum, all of those things that made it our front and center.

She looks likely to be elected.

She's highly Eurosceptic in the past.

She's even advocated that France leave the euro.

So there was it's well understood that there was a decision that she would leave and a new president of the ECB, European Central Bank, would be appointed before she takes office.

He has obviously some technical experience.

and was quite sort of, I guess, hardline Eurosceptic positioning, but had some warnings for Gibraltar, just a couple of them here.

Under Article

66, if Spain so requests, the EU will take the necessary steps to end the agreement.

And when this first started to surface under Keir Starmer and the government said it was planning to align with Brussels rules, in other words, become a rule taker from Brussels, they expected there to be a big backlash at that point, but there wasn't.

I think it made a couple of front pages of the Eurosceptic papers then quickly disappeared.

And I remember we tried to get a quote from Reform UK.

Can we get a quote from Nigel Farage about this outrage? And the best we could get was a one-line quote from a spokesman for reform, not even from a named politician saying it's all terrible.

Matteo Salvini is the Deputy Prime Minister of Italy, a leading face of the populist wave of politics in Europe since 2010.

He is a member of the neo-nationalist movement which emphasises de-globalisation, including Euroscepticism, nativist and protectionist stances.

Naturally, he and the Prime Minister, Giorgia Maloney, are known especially for their anti-immigration stance.

Giorgio Maloney is the leader of the far-right party, Brothers of Italy, and is the longest-serving Prime Minister since World War II.

It's particularly, I think it's difficult to judge because, you know, Europe itself is is going through such turmoil.

You know, at the moment, you would probably say that, well, not probably, you would say right now, you'd say Marine Le Pen from the Rassemblement National, a right-wing Eurosceptic party.

She is most likely to be the next president of France.

German politics are deeply unstable with France.
