> The UK also plans to work with Germany, Belgium, Denmark and the Netherlands to open up cross-border, offshore electricity projects, with a focus on joint planning and cost sharing.

That’s refreshing and promising. I wonder if projects like these could lead to un-brexit long term.

Long term, un-Brexiting requires the UK to convince the EU that the UK won't treat the EU like a cat treats a door.

I don't know what this needs, but any Nigel Farage party (currently Reform) polling well, isn't it.

How much funding does Reform receive from foreign parties?

And should said foreign parties come to an eventual collapse where would it leave Reform?

The general consensus is "a lot by the surprisingly cheap standards that are British politics".

Unclear; as with Trump (and Musk, and Johnson), Farage is an effective TV personality, willing to be seen to be foolish just so long as he is in fact being seen.
