Is this author right to suggest the UK should get closer to Europe?

Or are Reform correct with their view that Europeans are nefarious adversaries who only want to control us?

    Absolutely they’re right.

    We need to put some distance between us and the US, so we should be getting closer with countries facing the same issues as us. Unsurprisingly that includes our neighbours. I think it also includes CANZUK.

    The one thing is that we need to retain fiscal control, so the euro is not an option. I think we’re going to need to go on a spending spree to revitalise sectors which our relationship with the US has destroyed. R&D, manufacturing, healthcare, utilities all need injections of cash and doing that whilst subject to the ECB isn’t going to work.

    The UK and the rest of the world should move further away from the US. If that means moving closer to the EU then fine.
