OK, you lose the subsidy, the UK single market, legacy monetary and fiscal policy reputations and the lower cost of financing that affords. But you get to re-converge with EU [probably], avoid mass deportations, culture war on higher education, systemic corruption, etc.

“Nobody at the BBC is sweating about displeasing Zack Polanski or the Guardian or even the current prime minister.”
Very good on the deeply cynical and dangerous right wing manoeuvres to compromise and ultimately destroy the BBC.

Perhaps the BBC could offer Trump one of his beloved deals: they'll apologise for broadcasting sections of his speech, if he apologises for trying to overthrow an election, lying about the result, pressuring election officials, urging a crowd to "fight like hell" & pardoning those who did just that.
