It does have to do with the overriding theme of nationality and sovereignty of nations.  The EU is the antithesis of that and Trump and his nationalist followers in US and Europe are antagonistic towards the existence of the EU in the first place especially Belgium and Germany the true power behind it.  This is part and parcel of the bigger worldwide struggle against the so called "New World Order" which most would think is a grand conspiracy on the face of it, but just like everything else in the universe is much more complex and has some reality based in it.

I have been puzzled for quite a while regarding why Trump has been vocal in advocating for Great Britain to leave the European Union (Brexit). Can anyone explain to me why this is an issue one way or the other for the United States? Is this just part of Trump's "nationalism" theme — everyone should go it alone? It would seem to me that a U.S. President would not take a stance on such an issue, saying that it is something for the people of Great Britain to decide. I just cannot figure out why the U.S. has a dog in that particular fight. Anyone?

Theresa May loses Brexit deal vote by majority of 230

Theresa May has sustained the heaviest parliamentary defeat of any British prime minister in the democratic era after MPs rejected her Brexit deal by a resounding majority of 230.

The Labour leader, Jeremy Corbyn, immediately moved to sieze the initiative, tabling a vote of no confidence in the government.

“This is a catastrophic defeat. The house has delivered its verdict on her deal. Delay and denial has reached the end of the line,” he said.

First look at the new UK Passports that are being manufactured in France.

Letter to the editor referring to this quote from the Financial Times:

'The poison is already running around the system. “We can work with half the Labour party and crush the fuckers,” says one Conservative MP, referring to his Eurosceptic colleagues. A leading pro-Brexit MP says he would not tolerate threats from the “wankers” on his party’s pro-European wing.'

A second chance for reason to prevail?
