Andrew Neil Puts Brexit Rejoin Argument Under the Microscope on Question Time

Andrew Neil delivered a blunt response to the latest push for Britain to move back towards the European Union during BBC Question Time, challenging what he saw as some of the simplistic arguments being used by those advocating closer European integration. Neil took particular aim at the suggestion that Britain has been left economically flatlining by Brexit, pointing out that several major EU economies have also experienced sluggish growth. His argument was straightforward: blaming Britain's economic performance entirely on Brexit becomes considerably harder when countries that remained inside the EU are facing many of the same problems.

Neil also challenged the idea that returning to the single market or customs union would automatically solve Britain's economic problems. Germany, France and Italy have all experienced weak growth despite remaining within the EU, while UK GDP grew by 1.3% in 2025, compared with 0.9% in France, 0.3% in Germany and 0.7% in Italy. Those figures formed an important part of Neil's wider point, because they directly challenged the portrayal of Britain as uniquely suffering while the rest of Europe prospers.

The exchange highlighted the growing divide between the political arguments surrounding Brexit and the economic reality being presented in the latest figures. Neil's intervention was essentially a demand for the Rejoin argument to be tested against what is actually happening in Europe today, rather than relying on the assumption that Britain's problems can simply be attributed to leaving the EU. Whatever view someone takes on Brexit, his figures put a sizeable hole in the claim that EU membership automatically protects countries from economic stagnation.

8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown - 30 minutes of Sean Lock's BEST solves

Sean Lock was one of Britain’s most distinctive comedians, celebrated for his dry delivery, sharp observations and wonderfully unpredictable sense of humour. Best known for his regular appearances on 8 Out of 10 Cats and 8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown, he had a gift for turning everyday situations into brilliantly absurd routines, often delivered with a perfectly straight face. His stand-up career established him as a highly respected comic, while his television appearances introduced his unique style to a much wider audience. Known for his quick wit and ability to find humour in the ordinary, Lock remained a much-loved figure in British comedy and left behind a body of work that continues to entertain audiences.

Amala Ekpunobi - The Lindsay Clancy Holdout Juror Is Black…Oops

 

The revelation that the lone holdout juror in the Lindsay Clancy trial is a Black man presents an awkward dilemma for sections of the left-wing press that spent the week portraying him as an unreasonable obstacle to justice while apparently attempting to uncover details about his identity and past. Having built a narrative around the supposedly problematic juror, they now face an uncomfortable choice: continue attacking him and risk accusations that their coverage was based on assumptions about who he was, or acknowledge that the reality does not fit as neatly into the narrative they had constructed. The question now is whether those outlets will reconsider their coverage, quietly move on, or simply find a different angle through which to justify the campaign against the juror.

Amala Ekpunobi - This Is Worse Than I Expected - Lindsay Clancy Jurors speak out

 

Jurors who decided Lindsay Clancy was not guilty of murdering her children are speaking out, and it’s even worse than I imagined. Let’s talk about it. 

Lindsay Clancy, a former Massachusetts labour and delivery nurse, was charged with murdering her three children, Cora, five, Dawson, three, and eight-month-old Callan, in January 2023. Clancy admitted killing the children but pleaded not guilty by reason of lack of criminal responsibility, with her defence arguing that she was suffering from severe postpartum psychosis at the time and was unable to understand that her actions were wrong. Prosecutors argued that the killings were deliberate and that Clancy remained criminally responsible. After nearly six weeks of testimony and seven days of jury deliberations, the 12-person jury became deadlocked, reportedly with 11 jurors favouring an acquittal on the grounds of insanity and one refusing to agree, resulting in a mistrial on 4 September 2026. Clancy therefore has not been convicted or acquitted, and prosecutors have yet to decide whether to seek a retrial. Her lawyer has now asked the judge to acquit her, with that request due to be considered on 29 September.

Isaac Kearney became a much-loved Liverpool supporter after videos of the young fan singing Liverpool songs with his toy guitar went viral. Born with Wolf-Hirschhorn syndrome, Isaac captured the attention of fans around the world, eventually leading to an unforgettable surprise in November 2024 when Mohamed Salah and Virgil van Dijk turned up at his school. He was then taken to Liverpool's training ground, where he met the squad and Arne Slot, before being made a mascot for the Manchester City match at Anfield. The Christmas Day video documenting the experience went on to attract more than 122 million views worldwide.

Isaac's story has continued well beyond that original viral moment. In August 2026, after Salah's departure from Liverpool, the pair were reunited when Isaac and his family travelled to Türkiye as guests of Trabzonspor. Salah was visibly delighted to see him, embracing the youngster before Isaac walked onto the pitch alongside his former Liverpool hero ahead of Trabzonspor's match. It was a particularly touching continuation of a friendship that began with that remarkable school surprise, showing that Isaac's connection with Salah had survived even the footballer's move away from Anfield.
