     Which is probably why a certain Vlad Putin seemingly bankrolled a lot of Brexiters.

     The problem I see with the UK rejoining the EU is that a lot of these people are still very active and very vocal about staying out.

     If you were the EU, would you open negotiations with (let's say) a Starmer government, knowing you are potentially one election away from Brexit 2.0? I think not.
