I just wanted to thank your for all of your hard work. I'm really impressed by young people like your self being so aware of current politics. You're doing a great job. Happy birthday and good job.
That's a lot of people, who have to find a living, a life, a family and live with this consequences of that decision for the rest of their lives. May I ask if you would decide differently today?
@@AaronOkeanos : For my part, no, I wouldn't decide differently. I voted to leave and wish that majority vote to be honoured. To do otherwise would and is, causing enormous damage to our democracy.
@ Doctor Core, you’re all very brave there in Hong Kong. The whole world is watching how you’re fighting the comunists!!! Was happening here in east europe 40 years ago as well. We won and the iron curtain between comunist countries and the western world got broke. Democracy is the only way to prosper for any nation. Good luck to you!!!
He basically tries the opposite way then may. May negotiated a deal with the eu and tried to get the deal though the parliament. Bj tries to force the mps to accept his deal that he still hasn't negotiated with the eu. And the eu said they're done with negotiating so good luck.
@@cezarcatalin1406 are you suggesting we french revolution BJ because he wants to take britain out of the EU, the thing that a majority of brits wanted?
May surrendered all negotiation chips from the start and thus got a shit deal and EU told her that it's final. BJ has way more negotiating power with the EU now than May ever had because he has the means to make no deal happen. It's a good deal or no deal, that's how you negotiate. May went with "give me any deal"
Great channel. Well done. The earlier fully-animated videos were far more appealing and effective than the recent few, which for no good reason now include a lot of footage of the speaker in a room. For me, the voice held more authority without this video footage. Also, the TLDR marketing (from 0.30 to 0.45 in this video) would be better located at the end of the video.
I think it's because they've had to put out a lot more videos within a couple of days lately. Animating stuff (well) is a hell of a lot of work, especially for smaller producers like they are. So if you have limited time and/or resources, filming people simply telling stuff may be a good way. I'm guessing they'll return to full animation once this whole car crash of a topic has cooled off a bit. Although I'm not opposed to the idea of having him explain things face to face, but they'd have to work on sound and lighting a bit if they want to improve. For now, I can totally understand the reasoning behind their shift and I'm fine with it.
Someone should buy him (Mr. Bercow) some "Ooooddaaa"-merch and send him as a gift. From the little I've seen of him on this channel alone he seems british enough (you know the dry humour you're known for) to actually wear it in public.
Yeah, I much prefer no visible presenter. I think I got used to the animation and it makes it a bit uncomfortable to watch now. Also, it hasn't been done well, either.
@@pounro I also think this may be the main motive at play here. I agree with the original conmenter though, I'd rather not see the producer, makes it harder to focus on the information.

Oreom yeah but if you want up-to-date videos in at a time like this when everything is moving so fast then a little bit of imperfection is what you’re gonna have to accept. I’d personally rather they had some minor issues with presentation and editing than skimp on the research in order to get those aspects looking perfect
So 'rebel' MPs won't take action because they value the longevity of their own career over the potential best course for the entire UK. Frankly, they're worthless as MPs if they won't fight for what they believe in.
It's worth clarifying that when we talk about parliament, we don't mean the buildings or the government, we mean the body of men and women appointed at each new election. This current parliament has existed since 2017. Constitutionally there's no real reason why a government needs to prorogue parliament - they can introduce a new agenda of legislation without the pantomime of having the Queen read it out.
thats not true, there are procedural reasons why they need a new session of parliament - that is what proroguing enables, a new parliamentary session, not a new parliament
a great video, as always! I liked it better with animations throughout, without you talking to the camera. No offence, it just feels like the animations guide the listener through the video better, than a man talking to the camera does
Most people I know who are looking into this stuff are literally going days without sleep. Because they are terrified of a no deal. I wouldn't be surprised if it was the same with TLDR.
There's no issue with the movement of people, it's the right to remain and work that needs addressing. You don't need a border to stop people getting houses or jobs.
You're mixing things up. The EU's freedom of movement is about visa-free travel but first and foremost about the right to live and work in all of the EU (as long as you can support yourself). That's not the problem when it comes to the Irish-UK border after Brexit. You can have checks on illegal residence elsewhere, like many/most EU countries already have in place. The real issue is ending the free movement of goods. When the UK leaves the Single Market and Customs Union, the goods that cross the UK-Irish border need checking. There are only two options. Either you check the goods, or you make sure there's nothing to check, i.e. no tariffs and no differences in regulations regarding products. The latter was provided by the EU's Single Market. Accepting that defeats the idea of a hard Brexit.
@@finthegeek Why shouldn't EU citizens have the right to legally work here? This agreement is reciprocated by 26 other EU countries, granting UK citizens the right to work abroad. I can't stand this little England syndrome. As the UK economy starts to suffer as a result of no deal, I suspect that more UK citizens will want to work abroad in countries with more vibrant economies- only to discover that their rights in Europe are restricted. Ironic, isn't it?
Relying on several medications we get from the EU to survive, I find all the talk of letting no deal happen to spite the Tories kinda terrifying, I mean my life is potentially at risk and the parties who used to be trying to protect my interests (what turns out to be my health), are slowly abandoning me for political advantage.
I wouldn't believe all these scare stories about shortages. After Brexit, will the French, Germans, Italians etc want to stop selling us their goods and services? Why on Earth would they want to lose their customers? Common sense should tell you that businesses seek to increase their business, not throw away their existing customers.
Jonathan Young I think Bercows’ impartiality was thrown out months ago. No doubt he’ll be kicked soon, I think he’s under investigation for bullying junior staff members.
I imagine it’s not codified, not really thought of for the impartial Speaker to suddenly also become the PM. Though the precedents it could break and form would be thermonuclear. Then again, this is Brexit. BERCOW FOR PM! BERCOW FOR PM! WHO CARES HE PROBABLY DOESN’T WANT TO! BERCOW FOR PM!
Sadly so many comments are aimed at the quality of sound, editing, etc. of the video. In the main, I have found that the content is unbiased and informative. Unlike the professionally produced and mainly biased reporting from the mainstream media.
I think it's only because we pay a lot of attention to the videos and feel invested enough to give constructive feedback, rather than just stop watching! I hope Jack takes it as a compliment.
They're very good at taking all kinds of feedback and it's why their channel is growing. I commented a few days ago that having too many cuts to the camera sections was distracting and I've found newer videos much easier to understand. Editing issues are a bit distracting to what they're actually saying. They're getting more professional every day and it's really heartening :)
LiveFreeOrDie Yes just like how people who watch Fox News, read the Daily mail or Guardian praise them for being unbiased. Unbiased = I agree with it. If it was unbiased it would either be a 50/50 remain/leave audience. Maybe even slightly more leave as YT has a mainly male right wing audience. It doesn’t, it’s 95% remainers.
@@mrmagoo-i2l your logic would work on a subject that really divides people sort of equally. Which brexit doesnt, 17 millions of people voted leave while there 70 millions people in UK, that's not even considering worldwide. You cant have 50/50 when there is a clear imbalance of the number of people on one side compared to the other
As expected, Johnson plays the fool, but he is quite intelligent. This is simply a politically genius move. He turned the burden upside down, so now his opponents have to act and they lose no matter what they do. I think Jacob Rees-Mogg also played his hand on this. All that House procedure knowledge amounted to something very simple and yet so ingenious!
On his part yes it is genius. Problem being that the issue was also turned on its head. May had a deal with the EU but couldn't get the parliament to agree on it (cause it's bad). Johnson may pressure the parliament into accepting his deal, but the EU has now experienced that kicking Britain out of the EU was actually beneficial for them as Britain's economical instability has lead many of its top businesses to move into other core EU countries. Now that the EU no longer has the risk of economical crisis in case of a no deal exit, it is likely that they will flat out reject Johnson's offer, and also reject an extension. My take on it is that the EU will kick Britain out, most of its markets will collapse and the price of everything will rise. The citizen's of the UK will get angry by the fact they were lied to, and down the line after the EU has done siphoning all the top businesses of the UK they will propose to integrate them back, tho without all the advantages Britain had secured when the union was first formed when it was ascendant.
R u dumb? EU are clearly gonna crack at the last moment - Merckel has given him 30 days to find a different backstop mechanism...even Macron has agreed that a slightly different deal can be reached.
Honestly, when someone writes "R u dumb?" I feel like they've provided their own counter-argument. It's a bit like saying "you're an immature poopy-head". For what's it's worth, The Master, Merkel and Macron's statements were not indicating any change in position--quite the opposite. The British media, however, reported that this was what happened. Even TLDR fell for it. I'm told that, in Germany for example, no one thinks that Merkel has 'softened her approach' in the slightest. PS It just occured to me that The Master might have been parodying Leavers. If so--well done, you got me.
@@montynaylor6195 EU has already stated different possibilities for the backstop exist. The Brexiteer posturing about how "easy" would it be to go without just go to show their real colors. Indeed, if there was a simple solution, the backstop would be non-issue.
It doesn't increase the pressure on the EU because no-deal was always within expectation. If anything, the lack of extension might be less problematic.
Yes, there even is the possiblity the EU would refuse an extension either way. There were already many problems in the council to get this currrent extension. Another extension can probably only be achieved with either a promise of a GE or a new referendum to break the stalemate.
The prorogation should mean that May's deal can be brought before parliament again since it's a new session, and the problem was bringing the same thing within the same session.
@@mutleyeng What concession can there be, the purpose and reason for it was simple. All the practical solutions were presented and now they are just talking about "creative" solutions without offering anything. All that is left is for Bojo to change the name and anything irrelevant and sell it as a "new and better" deal.
As a Yank, your politics don't entirely enter into my daily life. I will say 'cheers, mate' for the brief relief it brings to see that we're not the only ones with a dysfunctional government leader. Here's hoping to a long 'special relationship' between you there in the UK and us here in the colonies. Sad to see Brexit personally; seemed like an idyllic arrangement for the working class to be able to do business easily with the continent, not to mention the ease of going on holiday.

@@jerryormston3916 I didnt assume anything. I was asking. You are saying a majority outcome with a small margin should be? What? I didnt even call you a remainer? It sounds like you are proposing to oppose a democratic vote.
So we have basically reached the democratic equivalent of the UK, shotgun to their leg, shouting "I'LL DO IT YOU KNOW" with the EU standing on the side wondering how much clean-up they are going to have to do.
Can we get rid of the sections where you look into the camera and keep it all animated? The audio quality drops every time and your fluttering your hands around is somewhat annoying, no offence.
Your videos are generally pretty good, but this one is especially great! I feel like I got a lot of new, interesting information out of these 10 minutes! This is definitely a video I will be recommending to people who want to better understand what is going on!
The amount of entitlement from some people in the comments is honestly crazy, like simultaneously expecting well-researched videos within a few hours of breaking news events but also demanding fully animated, perfectly produced videos from a group that has been very clear that it’s a small company with few staff members... it’s a really disappointing attitude, I’m just glad there are enough sensible people to balance it out.
Be careful not to lump together respectfully formulated feedback of people's preference (which is valuable to the creators of this channel) with the views of (purportedly) entitled commenters. Although I can understand that the production team may lack the means to make fully animated videos at this point in time, I think it is still okay for me and others to express our preference for them. This way the production team is encouraged to find a way to make fully animated videos once again as soon as they find a way to do so. In the meantime I am still grateful for their highly informative videos.
I'm far from bilingual (french speaking). There are subtitles in the video but I can barely read them most of the time. Wouldn't it possible to change their colour to white text on a black background ? For the moment, the subtitles are displayed with a white text and the background is often white too.
If you ever read this comment: Do as few jump cuts as possible. If you have to do one, just before it put a graphics on it, and they don't look so silly. And have the graphics past your jump cut as well. It'll look more professional.
Why do people think that just because somebody in the UK (parliament, courts, queen, whoever) does something, that something will automatically add a further extension to Brexit? The EU needs to agree too, and that's far from being a sure thing. Yes, the EU mostly would really prefer a nice solution (2nd referendum resulting in a Remain, signing of the negotiated deal, mayhaps with additional wording regarding the backstop). But the EU would also really really like to get back to normal business beyond watching the UK kids quarrel and hope they come to senses. So there should be an actual chance for finding a solution for the EU to agree to a further extension. That chance looks very low after observing how the UK managed to waste the six-months extension and still is far from a majority for any solution. Btw. Mr. Corbyn for me seems like a very divisive person and thus unfit to solve the issues - instead he was and probably is part of the problem with his failure to take a clear Remain position some years ago.
I can't really blame Corbyn for not taking a staunch remain position when it goes against his beliefs though. As far as I've gathered, Corbyn is against the EU, but for different reasons than Johnson and the Brexiteers. Like many other leftists in Europe, EU is viewed as a capitalistic power hungry entity, which disrupts a lot of national political efforts. Trade, for example, isn't in line with many left parties ideas, relying heavily on imports and 'unfair' competition (cheaply produced items from cheap labour countries). Still, the referendum was not a vote for a brexit Corbyn would've wanted, and I am sure he knew this, so I see where you're coming from.
The EU didn't give the extension because it thought the UK was going to make deal happen, it gave it so that it would have more time to prepare for no-deal. Its next move will likely be to offer UK another extension, not because it wants UK to remain for another 6 months but because it wants to push all the responsibility of a no-deal on the UK and Johnson, as that will cause a faster change in government which will facilitate a post-brexit deal (which will probably be less favourable than the current one since the UK will be a country trying to negptiate with a protectionist trade block from the OUTSIDE rather than the inside)
@@exantiuse497 Ok - maybe the EU had already lost all hope back when they agreed the first extension, and just did it to get more ready. I still feel that many still hoped 5 months ago that Theresa May might actually somehow get a majority for the negotiated deal. Probably for some it was a mix of the two, which made an extension the better choice regardless of what the UK decided. Today however I'm pretty sure that all but the most optimistic officials in the (non-UK) EU by now have come to the conclusion that it'll end in No-Deal, whether in 2 months or in 8. Which (as you state) could be irrelevant towards a decision in favor of a further extension. OTOH the normal people in the EU have lost patience with the UK as well, and may consider another hopeless extension as a sign of weakness of their leaders.
You don't understand British politics at all or indeed where the majority of Labour voters stand on Brexit. Labour is supposed to stand for the working class. The vast majority of votes to leave the EU came from the working class in desperation as they felt nobody spoke for them anymore and also entire communitys were being dramatically changed with hordes of cheap labour coming from Eastern Europe. If Labour took the stand of remain after the vote then that would of completely killed the party off as working class people would give up on the party. He could only take the remain stance when May made a complete fool out of herself and the country
@@jamesswift4741 It's you who fails to understand UK politics. Yes, Labour stands for the working class but the working class doesn't unanimously stand behind Labour, nor does it unanimously support Brexit. Brexit is a right-wing position and the majority of people that voted Leave were Tory voters, and vie versa for Remain. Or how do you explain the results of the latestEuropean elections and local elections, in both of which Labour, officially pro-leave under Corbyn, bled voters to the Liberal Democrats, officially pro-remain?
I say: Let the UK leave the EU without a deal, which apparently is Boris Johnson's plan all along, and see who profits from the resulting market downturn: the stock market, a backed up tunnel, lorries that can't move, etc. It would be the best thing for the liberals, and the worst thing for the conservatives who promised that Brexit was made entirely of "win" for the UK.
Diet Double DEW - The PM is elected by the elected parliament. It is representative government. It has worked that way for a very long time, not just in the 21st century.
BoJo is the elected Minster of Uxbridge & South Ruislip, further elected as PM by his party, who the electorate voted into power. Sounds pretty elected to me. The Queen...well not so much, but a recent YouGov opinion poll found that 57 per cent of Britons say they are proud of the Royal Family and three-quarters of the public feel the monarchy should be kept rather an elected head of state....that's pretty bloody high for a country that can't agree on much.

I think ot would be an interesting topic if parliament taking decisive action on an advisory referendum is proper and legal. Is it more proper to have a 2nd, this time legally binding referendum.
According to Dominic Grieve's recent amendment parliament can't be suspended more than 2 weeks, but how did they get Queen's consent for suspension of parliament for 4 weeks??
Johnson also deliberately prorogued parliament over the conference period. Many Mps were saying they wanted to cancel the conference period to give them more time, even prior to Johnson announcing this latest move. But they now can't.
A democracy can only survive with informed opinions and sadly this is not the case here. The referendum was illegitimate because nobody, nobody knew what they were voting for they just went with emotion. Can you imagine in any other aspect of life making a decision before first doing a risk assessment?
As well as being nationalistic and not caring who they hurt (or even destroying their own country for that matter) in the process. As long as it stays so UK then the UK actually is. They are happy. Even with a deal the UK is still not coming out of this ok.
Yeah Even though the smart thing is to cancel brexit now But jingo idiots want it their way or the high way and screw anyone else. The people who want to cancel this is silenced by prorogation. An the idiots thinking a renegotiation can happen now is just plan stupid. An the jingo idiot is so full of his own stupidity he never stopped to consider that he may as well be tossing the UK into the very roles he claimed he was rising the UK out of and feeding the UK sheep to the wolves.
@@thewingedhussar4188 " ... The people who want to cancel this is silenced by prorogation ... " At least you understand their motive, and that the no-deal excuse is just that. What you don't seem to understand, doubtless due to your extreme bias, is that Parliament voted by a huge majority to leave without a deal if no deal were agreed. That is now law. And what else can these people have to say that they couldn't have said in the last 3 years? Even with your bias, surely you can see that these people are turning the whole situation into a farce?
I don't see why Johnson is acting like no-deal is an option; it's certainly not viable in the long term. Even if (Or more likely, when) we crash out without a deal, there will have to be a deal with the EU eventually of some kind which sets out the terms of our relationship with them. This posturing will have disastrous consequence for everyone except for disaster capitalists.
@@GeriatricFan1963 "I don't see why Johnson is acting like no-deal is an option" Then allow me to explain. It's basic - very basic - negotiating strategy. The EU doesn't want us to leave - we are the 2nd largest net contributor to the EU's budget. If the EU knows that we won't leave without a deal, then they won't give us one - and therefore we won't leave (or they'll give us a poor deal which we won't accept, which amounts to the same thing). It's the same in any negotiation - if your opponent knows that you desperately want a deal and won't walk away, then you're not going to get a good deal.
Just a correction, the reason it's different this time is because some in UK, even 3 years on, still do not accept the UK is leaving with or without a deal. This is basically a normal event causing reality to set in on any who wish to undo the vote of 2016.
I find it very rich how John Major is challenging it. Given he prorogued parliament for a much longer period to suppress the cash for questions scandal, which was swept under the carpet when he lost the election.
It's been a mess from its inception. It was never intended to pass, and thus no preparation was made at all, no consideration for the propaganda and misinformation spread, and not even any clarity on what people were actually voting for. Holding a national referendum for party politics was the height of foolishness. The chaos since is just a symptom of that, gone out of control.
When the MPs don't follow the will of the people we end up like this, most of our government wants to fight the prime minister rather than get the right deal for the UK,
The original "end run" around Parliament was the Brexit referendum. A "No-Deal" Brexit is the ONLY way the UK can move forward. Leaving the EU is the will of the people. (Not ALL the people...just the majority who bothered to vote.)
More like 1% more than the others is it not? If it was 70% vs. 30% this thing might be less problematic now. Maybe the referendum should have been made in a form "more than 20% difference or something like that" for brexit approval. Especially since the elephant in the room now is ... after everyone had a little more time to think and hear about the consequences and without red busses and all that stuff ... decisions might be vastly different now.
Only if there’s knew information that I really doubt If he dose one he should go outside the obvious Follow our actual recycled waste and see if it’s actually recycled spoiler 90% isn’t or a vid on ways the government plan to reform or change policies maybe one calling the uk straight out on lies and broken laws and promises our air quality in London is illegal and we out source our waste and claim it as carbon neutral because we’re not doing it these are the kind of things that need coverage not more repeated figures of temperature that mean nothing to people that don’t already understand
They’ll come after Brexit (if the UK leaves, then say a few months after Brexit, probably). While climate change is definitely important, Brexit can only be covered for so long and there’s so much to unpack. *Right now,* for British people, *I’d* say that Brexit is more important than climate change.
UK has a parliamentary democracy last time I looked. Parliament is sovereign. Not the people. Suspending parliament on purpose to avoid democratic debate on Brexit is high handed and stupid. Both Johnson traits. It is NOT subject to a referendum that has no sovereignty. Wake up.
Then why bother holding the referendum in the first place? It's ridiculous to say 'a referendum that has no sovereignty'- who would claim that it does? What it does do is give parliament a mandate to exercise the will of the people.

Caroline Lucas is the answer. She is no threat to any side because no one takes the Greens seriously. She has no way to force anything through without the consent of the parliament, so is the ideal candidate to be trusted to call a snap election.
The fact that the opposition would be so deluded to accept such a weak candidate as PM would guarantee Boris wins a landslide general election. This would work right into the hands of "the people Vs parliament" rhetoric
Their job was to implement Brexit after they signed article 50. Instead they have done everything to overthrow the result of the referendum and block our departure. Those are more than just antics in my book they are criminal.

Good video as always, could I make a suggestion? In this video you are falling into the trap where the narrator focuses more on their auto-queue than on the camera.

Watching the whole situation makes me more and more relieved that we signed the continuity agreement before No Deal kicks in. We knew what we exported to the UK but not what we imported except for that vitamin water. It was whisky. Of course it's whisky.

It's in the toilet as there is an absolute necessity for a border post-Brexit which is in direct contravention of the GFA. THAT'S the single biggest problem in the Brexit negotiations. There are plenty of others but that one is the cruncher.
There is actually a legal argument being attempted in the name of the GFA to stop no deal from happening, arguing that a no deal brexit effectively breaks the terms of the GFA, we'll see where it goes
As far as I know, UK will keep the border open (no border checks) and put import tarrifs on 0. EU will have to put up a hard border to protect the single market sooner or later. As soon as a border has been put up, GFA is breached. We will see what happens then.
This strategy is very very risky. The EU has proven time and again, that the most important thing to them is protecting the common market. They have drawn their line in the sand. IF Johnson continues on his current course it is very likely, that the EU will simply fall on the "die" side of the do or die equation.
If you're going to continue to cut out of animation to person reading, you need to work on it, since at the moment you aren't looking at the camera, and it's clear the person is reading from a script. Not exactly engaging content.

Then let's back up a bit. I believe the current conflicts between the executive and the Parliament has no precedent since the Civil War. This implies that the solution has to be unprecedented. It further suggests that if the UK is to call itself a democracy an election is clearly in order. But there needs to be more time in order to hold an election. The question is a simple one. Is Parliament the ultimate Authority in the UK? If it is, it must be functional and responsive to the will of the people. As it stands right now the single largest barrier to that is the lack of time to hold an election.
@@GhostlyJorg oh, but "they were thinking about cancelling the conferences.. ? Who was? when? According to who? Pure opinion on so many counts, just in this video. I know what the TLDR channels are, they express a 'remain' point of view. (Political Left view with the US content.) I accept their bias, and listen to what they have to say.
@@glentight I made a google search and found that plans for cancelling the conferences was reported by The Sun, The Independent, The Guardian and Daily Express. This was feared by the Government and discussed on the highest level: "One senior source last night said the issue was discussed by Commons Leader Mel Stride and party whips. " Can't you make ONE search before you ramble on? Apparently not. You are pathetically uninformed while at the same time acting like you got it all figured out... I learn nothing dealing with you children, and you waste my time. Goodbye
Although i am against leaving the eu, purely for economic reasons, people voted to leave so there is no need to make it so difficult. Johnson is smart and what he is doing is necessary.
Leaving the EU is difficult, extremely difficult even. But ofcourse that was not mentioned before the referendum. And when the pro-remainers warned people about that, it was supposedly 'fear mongering'...
Very well presented before I only had a small understanding of why this was happening your no nonsense way of talking is what people like me need to properly understand these important issues.
Firstly, I love these videos. Very nicely broken down. keep it up folks. Secondly, my question. At 8:45, you state that Parliament voting against a deal brought forward by the Govt, would lead to no deal (that’s clear to me) AND that it would lead to a general election. This is less clear to me. A vote against the deal isn’t necessarily a vote of no confidence in the Govt so why would an election follow? I understand that a no confidence vote in the Govt could follow a no-deal Brexit, but that’s not a given. So what is the basis of your claim? Cheers, Aquil
tim hem I agree, I think good or bad, no-deal delivers Brexit which gets rid of UKIP. Ukip are Johnson’s only obstacle to gaining a ‘clear’ majority in any election that follows🤔
An outsider like me, looking at how divided the UK is and how it cannot come to a decision however much time it is given, can only conclude that the UK simply cannot govern itself and must therefore be governed by some other, like the EU. The UK is simply not ready for self-government. Eternal debate, it can; but self-government, it cannot. Makes Xi and Putin proud.
So, proroguing Parliament was a party-shaking controversy during the recent Tory PM elections. Johnson won saying he'd do this controversial thing (which many thought was an empty threat). He wins, and prorogues parliament...and now it's just a normal part of the system, nothing to see here?

Great channel. Well done. The earlier fully-animated videos were far more appealing and effective than the recent few, which for no good reason now include a lot of footage of the speaker in a room. For me, the voice held more authority without this video footage. Also, the TLDR marketing (from 0.30 to 0.45 in this video) would be better located at the end of the video.
I think it's because they've had to put out a lot more videos within a couple of days lately. Animating stuff (well) is a hell of a lot of work, especially for smaller producers like they are. So if you have limited time and/or resources, filming people simply telling stuff may be a good way. I'm guessing they'll return to full animation once this whole car crash of a topic has cooled off a bit. Although I'm not opposed to the idea of having him explain things face to face, but they'd have to work on sound and lighting a bit if they want to improve. For now, I can totally understand the reasoning behind their shift and I'm fine with it.
It appears that the speed at which they need to release videos makes it difficult for them to keep up. Maybe they need to hire a full time helper.
I would have no idea what is happening in my country without you. I'm grateful for your work. Going to like every video

Someone should buy him (Mr. Bercow) some "Ooooddaaa"-merch and send him as a gift. From the little I've seen of him on this channel alone he seems british enough (you know the dry humour you're known for) to actually wear it in public.
It might be strange but I preferred your videos without presenters visible
Yeah, I much prefer no visible presenter. I think I got used to the animation and it makes it a bit uncomfortable to watch now. Also, it hasn't been done well, either.

Oreom yeah but if you want up-to-date videos in at a time like this when everything is moving so fast then a little bit of imperfection is what you’re gonna have to accept. I’d personally rather they had some minor issues with presentation and editing than skimp on the research in order to get those aspects looking perfect
Suzy Lightning I absolutely agree! But their previous videos were of a higher quality, that's all:)
So 'rebel' MPs won't take action because they value the longevity of their own career over the potential best course for the entire UK. Frankly, they're worthless as MPs if they won't fight for what they believe in.
All the parties are mostly busy with their own electoral interests, instead of doing what the UK needs most.
What do you expect from politics? You don't get the good guy, you get the evil guy and the less evil guy.
It's worth clarifying that when we talk about parliament, we don't mean the buildings or the government, we mean the body of men and women appointed at each new election. This current parliament has existed since 2017. Constitutionally there's no real reason why a government needs to prorogue parliament - they can introduce a new agenda of legislation without the pantomime of having the Queen read it out.
thats not true, there are procedural reasons why they need a new session of parliament - that is what proroguing enables, a new parliamentary session, not a new parliament
a great video, as always! I liked it better with animations throughout, without you talking to the camera. No offence, it just feels like the animations guide the listener through the video better, than a man talking to the camera does
I agree
Are you sleeping?! Thanks for your hard work!!
Most people I know who are looking into this stuff are literally going days without sleep. Because they are terrified of a no deal. I wouldn't be surprised if it was the same with TLDR.
I really, really like your videos. Just high quality, very informative and ect. Greetings from Germany
I love how many people still don't realise you can't prevent a hard border and freedom of movement at the same time.
There's no issue with the movement of people, it's the right to remain and work that needs addressing.
You don't need a border to stop people getting houses or jobs.
@@finthegeek To stop people getting houses you just have to make houses unaffordable. Government is one step ahead of you on that one...
You're mixing things up. The EU's freedom of movement is about visa-free travel but first and foremost about the right to live and work in all of the EU (as long as you can support yourself). That's not the problem when it comes to the Irish-UK border after Brexit. You can have checks on illegal residence elsewhere, like many/most EU countries already have in place.
The real issue is ending the free movement of goods. When the UK leaves the Single Market and Customs Union, the goods that cross the UK-Irish border need checking. There are only two options. Either you check the goods, or you make sure there's nothing to check, i.e. no tariffs and no differences in regulations regarding products. The latter was provided by the EU's Single Market. Accepting that defeats the idea of a hard Brexit.
@@finthegeek Why shouldn't EU citizens have the right to legally work here? This agreement is reciprocated by 26 other EU countries, granting UK citizens the right to work abroad. I can't stand this little England syndrome. As the UK economy starts to suffer as a result of no deal, I suspect that more UK citizens will want to work abroad in countries with more vibrant economies- only to discover that their rights in Europe are restricted. Ironic, isn't it?
@Shade Blackwolf: Hey man. The Leavers were promised unicorns. They won’t settle for anything less.
Relying on several medications we get from the EU to survive, I find all the talk of letting no deal happen to spite the Tories kinda terrifying, I mean my life is potentially at risk and the parties who used to be trying to protect my interests (what turns out to be my health), are slowly abandoning me for political advantage.
@TheBaconHunter what small print? That we won't leave?
@TheBaconHunter Common sense of what? That people won't die if they can't get their life-saving medicines?
TheBaconHunter Oh, so please do tell us you Brexiteers have got some guarantees on this. Or is it just wishful thinking 🤔?
@@blackphilip8936 See, you can't cite anything to back up your claims and then assume I get my info from the BBC.

Is there anything formally stopping John Bercow acting as caretaker PM??
Jonathan Young I think Bercows’ impartiality was thrown out months ago.
No doubt he’ll be kicked soon, I think he’s under investigation for bullying junior staff members.
He is the speaker, his job is to scream order and that’s it.
I imagine it’s not codified, not really thought of for the impartial Speaker to suddenly also become the PM. Though the precedents it could break and form would be thermonuclear.
Then again, this is Brexit.
BERCOW FOR PM! BERCOW FOR PM! WHO CARES HE PROBABLY DOESN’T WANT TO! BERCOW FOR PM!
Yes being the speaker is his job. And he's not very good at that so who in there right mind would back him for PM?
wouldnt it be the leader of the house of commons like the job Lord Young had to take the role
Sadly so many comments are aimed at the quality of sound, editing, etc. of the video. In the main, I have found that the content is unbiased and informative. Unlike the professionally produced and mainly biased reporting from the mainstream media.
I think it's only because we pay a lot of attention to the videos and feel invested enough to give constructive feedback, rather than just stop watching! I hope Jack takes it as a compliment.
This must be clearly your first video because people have been praising their unbiased content since the start
They're very good at taking all kinds of feedback and it's why their channel is growing. I commented a few days ago that having too many cuts to the camera sections was distracting and I've found newer videos much easier to understand. Editing issues are a bit distracting to what they're actually saying. They're getting more professional every day and it's really heartening :)
LiveFreeOrDie Yes just like how people who watch Fox News, read the Daily mail or Guardian praise them for being unbiased.
Unbiased = I agree with it.
If it was unbiased it would either be a 50/50 remain/leave audience. Maybe even slightly more leave as YT has a mainly male right wing audience.
It doesn’t, it’s 95% remainers.
@@mrmagoo-i2l your logic would work on a subject that really divides people sort of equally. Which brexit doesnt, 17 millions of people voted leave while there 70 millions people in UK, that's not even considering worldwide. You cant have 50/50 when there is a clear imbalance of the number of people on one side compared to the other

'There are no guillotine motions in the Lords....' Well that's a problem right there. We need more guillotines.
Are you saying that the English are willing to take a page from the French?

As expected, Johnson plays the fool, but he is quite intelligent. This is simply a politically genius move. He turned the burden upside down, so now his opponents have to act and they lose no matter what they do. I think Jacob Rees-Mogg also played his hand on this. All that House procedure knowledge amounted to something very simple and yet so ingenious!
On his part yes it is genius. Problem being that the issue was also turned on its head. May had a deal with the EU but couldn't get the parliament to agree on it (cause it's bad). Johnson may pressure the parliament into accepting his deal, but the EU has now experienced that kicking Britain out of the EU was actually beneficial for them as Britain's economical instability has lead many of its top businesses to move into other core EU countries. Now that the EU no longer has the risk of economical crisis in case of a no deal exit, it is likely that they will flat out reject Johnson's offer, and also reject an extension.
My take on it is that the EU will kick Britain out, most of its markets will collapse and the price of everything will rise. The citizen's of the UK will get angry by the fact they were lied to, and down the line after the EU has done siphoning all the top businesses of the UK they will propose to integrate them back, tho without all the advantages Britain had secured when the union was first formed when it was ascendant.
It's been clear there wouldn't be a different deal for some 10 months now. MPs who still cling to that idea need their meds adjusted.
R u dumb? EU are clearly gonna crack at the last moment - Merckel has given him 30 days to find a different backstop mechanism...even Macron has agreed that a slightly different deal can be reached.
Honestly, when someone writes "R u dumb?" I feel like they've provided their own counter-argument. It's a bit like saying "you're an immature poopy-head".
For what's it's worth, The Master, Merkel and Macron's statements were not indicating any change in position--quite the opposite. The British media, however, reported that this was what happened. Even TLDR fell for it. I'm told that, in Germany for example, no one thinks that Merkel has 'softened her approach' in the slightest.
PS It just occured to me that The Master might have been parodying Leavers. If so--well done, you got me.
@@montynaylor6195 EU has already stated different possibilities for the backstop exist. The Brexiteer posturing about how "easy" would it be to go without just go to show their real colors.
Indeed, if there was a simple solution, the backstop would be non-issue.
The time has come for Ireland to reunite.
Nonsense.
It doesn't increase the pressure on the EU because no-deal was always within expectation. If anything, the lack of extension might be less problematic.
Yes, there even is the possiblity the EU would refuse an extension either way. There were already many problems in the council to get this currrent extension. Another extension can probably only be achieved with either a promise of a GE or a new referendum to break the stalemate.
I don't see another extension happening. I can see some minor concession on the backstop being offered to allow parliament a vote on a deal
The prorogation should mean that May's deal can be brought before parliament again since it's a new session, and the problem was bringing the same thing within the same session.
@@mutleyeng What concession can there be, the purpose and reason for it was simple. All the practical solutions were presented and now they are just talking about "creative" solutions without offering anything. All that is left is for Bojo to change the name and anything irrelevant and sell it as a "new and better" deal.
gimmethegepgun Problem was they rejected it three times because for some reason they think there’s a better deal to be had.

As much as people hated May, I’ve got to give her credit. At least she tried to make a deal.
Can we get rid of the sections where you look into the camera and keep it all animated?
The audio quality drops every time and your fluttering your hands around is somewhat annoying, no offence.
Your videos are generally pretty good, but this one is especially great! I feel like I got a lot of new, interesting information out of these 10 minutes! This is definitely a video I will be recommending to people who want to better understand what is going on!
This chap explains it very well.👍
The amount of entitlement from some people in the comments is honestly crazy, like simultaneously expecting well-researched videos within a few hours of breaking news events but also demanding fully animated, perfectly produced videos from a group that has been very clear that it’s a small company with few staff members... it’s a really disappointing attitude, I’m just glad there are enough sensible people to balance it out.
Be careful not to lump together respectfully formulated feedback of people's preference (which is valuable to the creators of this channel) with the views of (purportedly) entitled commenters. Although I can understand that the production team may lack the means to make fully animated videos at this point in time, I think it is still okay for me and others to express our preference for them. This way the production team is encouraged to find a way to make fully animated videos once again as soon as they find a way to do so. In the meantime I am still grateful for their highly informative videos.
Pressure on the EU? Sigh. Again the UK overestimates its importance and power and fails to realize what a hard brexit means for each invovled party.
I'm far from bilingual (french speaking). There are subtitles in the video but I can barely read them most of the time. Wouldn't it possible to change their colour to white text on a black background ?
For the moment, the subtitles are displayed with a white text and the background is often white too.
If you ever read this comment:
Do as few jump cuts as possible. If you have to do one, just before it put a graphics on it, and they don't look so silly. And have the graphics past your jump cut as well. It'll look more professional.
Excellent content as usual. But the lighting and the jump cuts are throwing me off honestly, makes it look so much kess professional than usual.
Why do people think that just because somebody in the UK (parliament, courts, queen, whoever) does something, that something will automatically add a further extension to Brexit? The EU needs to agree too, and that's far from being a sure thing. Yes, the EU mostly would really prefer a nice solution (2nd referendum resulting in a Remain, signing of the negotiated deal, mayhaps with additional wording regarding the backstop). But the EU would also really really like to get back to normal business beyond watching the UK kids quarrel and hope they come to senses. So there should be an actual chance for finding a solution for the EU to agree to a further extension. That chance looks very low after observing how the UK managed to waste the six-months extension and still is far from a majority for any solution.
Btw. Mr. Corbyn for me seems like a very divisive person and thus unfit to solve the issues - instead he was and probably is part of the problem with his failure to take a clear Remain position some years ago.
I can't really blame Corbyn for not taking a staunch remain position when it goes against his beliefs though. As far as I've gathered, Corbyn is against the EU, but for different reasons than Johnson and the Brexiteers. Like many other leftists in Europe, EU is viewed as a capitalistic power hungry entity, which disrupts a lot of national political efforts. Trade, for example, isn't in line with many left parties ideas, relying heavily on imports and 'unfair' competition (cheaply produced items from cheap labour countries).
Still, the referendum was not a vote for a brexit Corbyn would've wanted, and I am sure he knew this, so I see where you're coming from.
The EU didn't give the extension because it thought the UK was going to make deal happen, it gave it so that it would have more time to prepare for no-deal.
Its next move will likely be to offer UK another extension, not because it wants UK to remain for another 6 months but because it wants to push all the responsibility of a no-deal on the UK and Johnson, as that will cause a faster change in government which will facilitate a post-brexit deal (which will probably be less favourable than the current one since the UK will be a country trying to negptiate with a protectionist trade block from the OUTSIDE rather than the inside)
@@exantiuse497 Ok - maybe the EU had already lost all hope back when they agreed the first extension, and just did it to get more ready. I still feel that many still hoped 5 months ago that Theresa May might actually somehow get a majority for the negotiated deal. Probably for some it was a mix of the two, which made an extension the better choice regardless of what the UK decided.
Today however I'm pretty sure that all but the most optimistic officials in the (non-UK) EU by now have come to the conclusion that it'll end in No-Deal, whether in 2 months or in 8. Which (as you state) could be irrelevant towards a decision in favor of a further extension. OTOH the normal people in the EU have lost patience with the UK as well, and may consider another hopeless extension as a sign of weakness of their leaders.
You don't understand British politics at all or indeed where the majority of Labour voters stand on Brexit. Labour is supposed to stand for the working class. The vast majority of votes to leave the EU came from the working class in desperation as they felt nobody spoke for them anymore and also entire communitys were being dramatically changed with hordes of cheap labour coming from Eastern Europe.
If Labour took the stand of remain after the vote then that would of completely killed the party off as working class people would give up on the party. He could only take the remain stance when May made a complete fool out of herself and the country
@@jamesswift4741 It's you who fails to understand UK politics. Yes, Labour stands for the working class but the working class doesn't unanimously stand behind Labour, nor does it unanimously support Brexit. Brexit is a right-wing position and the majority of people that voted Leave were Tory voters, and vie versa for Remain.
Or how do you explain the results of the latestEuropean elections and local elections, in both of which Labour, officially pro-leave under Corbyn, bled voters to the Liberal Democrats, officially pro-remain?
I say: Let the UK leave the EU without a deal, which apparently is Boris Johnson's plan all along, and see who profits from the resulting market downturn: the stock market, a backed up tunnel, lorries that can't move, etc. It would be the best thing for the liberals, and the worst thing for the conservatives who promised that Brexit was made entirely of "win" for the UK.
A unelected Prime Minister prorogue parliament through a unelected queen. Welcome to the 21st century..
Diet Double DEW - The PM is elected by the elected parliament. It is representative government. It has worked that way for a very long time, not just in the 21st century.
Democracy at it's finest ain't it?
BoJo is the elected Minster of Uxbridge & South Ruislip, further elected as PM by his party, who the electorate voted into power. Sounds pretty elected to me. The Queen...well not so much, but a recent YouGov opinion poll found that 57 per cent of Britons say they are proud of the Royal Family and three-quarters of the public feel the monarchy should be kept rather an elected head of state....that's pretty bloody high for a country that can't agree on much.

Unless there are compelling arguments for why she shouldn't her consent is effectively automatic.

A democracy can only survive with informed opinions and sadly this is not the case here. The referendum was illegitimate because nobody, nobody knew what they were voting for they just went with emotion. Can you imagine in any other aspect of life making a decision before first doing a risk assessment?
As well as being nationalistic and not caring who they hurt (or even destroying their own country for that matter) in the process. As long as it stays so UK then the UK actually is. They are happy.
Even with a deal the UK is still not coming out of this ok.
the lightning is off balance!
yep .. even a small desk lamp on your right would have made a huge difference - doesn't even have to be pointed toward you

Brexit comedy is reaching it's climax. Better than Avengers.
Copy and paste this for EVERY TLDR video. Oh wait. People already do.
Have a nice No Deal Britain.
Brexiteers: We want out of the EU, do or die!
Johnson: Why not both?
Pretty depressing all round Tbh.
Yeah
Even though the smart thing is to cancel brexit now
But jingo idiots want it their way or the high way and screw anyone else.
The people who want to cancel this is silenced by prorogation.
An the idiots thinking a renegotiation can happen now is just plan stupid.
An the jingo idiot is so full of his own stupidity he never stopped to consider that he may as well be tossing the UK into the very roles he claimed he was rising the UK out of and feeding the UK sheep to the wolves.

" ... The people who want to cancel this is silenced by prorogation ... "
At least you understand their motive, and that the no-deal excuse is just that.
What you don't seem to understand, doubtless due to your extreme bias, is that Parliament voted by a huge majority to leave without a deal if no deal were agreed. That is now law. And what else can these people have to say that they couldn't have said in the last 3 years? Even with your bias, surely you can see that these people are turning the whole situation into a farce?
I don't see why Johnson is acting like no-deal is an option; it's certainly not viable in the long term. Even if (Or more likely, when) we crash out without a deal, there will have to be a deal with the EU eventually of some kind which sets out the terms of our relationship with them. This posturing will have disastrous consequence for everyone except for disaster capitalists.
@@GeriatricFan1963
"I don't see why Johnson is acting like no-deal is an option"
Then allow me to explain. It's basic - very basic - negotiating strategy. The EU doesn't want us to leave - we are the 2nd largest net contributor to the EU's budget. If the EU knows that we won't leave without a deal, then they won't give us one - and therefore we won't leave (or they'll give us a poor deal which we won't accept, which amounts to the same thing). It's the same in any negotiation - if your opponent knows that you desperately want a deal and won't walk away, then you're not going to get a good deal.
@@istvanglock7445 but we knew this 3 yrs ago ....
Just a correction, the reason it's different this time is because some in UK, even 3 years on, still do not accept the UK is leaving with or without a deal. This is basically a normal event causing reality to set in on any who wish to undo the vote of 2016.
I'm a simple man. I see TLDR, i click.
Well if I lived in the UK, I probably would actually *become* a biased remain person. :D
It's incredible that you guys make these videos so quickly! Do you sleep at all?
Guys these people bring out great videos in an unheard of speed. Please cool it down on the criticism of editing and audio...
I find it very rich how John Major is challenging it. Given he prorogued parliament for a much longer period to suppress the cash for questions scandal, which was swept under the carpet when he lost the election.
What a mess this ordeal has become...
Well you can thank the remainer MP self serving political shit show.
At least Boris has the balls to force this to resolution.
It's been a mess from its inception. It was never intended to pass, and thus no preparation was made at all, no consideration for the propaganda and misinformation spread, and not even any clarity on what people were actually voting for.
Holding a national referendum for party politics was the height of foolishness. The chaos since is just a symptom of that, gone out of control.
When the MPs don't follow the will of the people we end up like this, most of our government wants to fight the prime minister rather than get the right deal for the UK,
The original "end run" around Parliament was the Brexit referendum. A "No-Deal" Brexit is the ONLY way the UK can move forward. Leaving the EU is the will of the people. (Not ALL the people...just the majority who bothered to vote.)
You have very strong faith in the general public.
More like 1% more than the others is it not? If it was 70% vs. 30% this thing might be less problematic now. Maybe the referendum should have been made in a form "more than 20% difference or something like that" for brexit approval. Especially since the elephant in the room now is ... after everyone had a little more time to think and hear about the consequences and without red busses and all that stuff ... decisions might be vastly different now.
Any idea on when the climate change videos are planned for? Would love to help out if possible
Would be great to see this covered!
Only if there’s knew information that I really doubt
If he dose one he should go outside the obvious
Follow our actual recycled waste and see if it’s actually recycled spoiler 90% isn’t or a vid on ways the government plan to reform or change policies maybe one calling the uk straight out on lies and broken laws and promises our air quality in London is illegal and we out source our waste and claim it as carbon neutral because we’re not doing it these are the kind of things that need coverage not more repeated figures of temperature that mean nothing to people that don’t already understand

They’ll come after Brexit (if the UK leaves, then say a few months after Brexit, probably). While climate change is definitely important, Brexit can only be covered for so long and there’s so much to unpack.
*Right now,* for British people, *I’d* say that Brexit is more important than climate change.
UK has a parliamentary democracy last time I looked. Parliament is sovereign. Not the people.
Suspending parliament on purpose to avoid democratic debate on Brexit is high handed and stupid. Both Johnson traits.
It is NOT subject to a referendum that has no sovereignty. Wake up.
Then why bother holding the referendum in the first place? It's ridiculous to say 'a referendum that has no sovereignty'- who would claim that it does? What it does do is give parliament a mandate to exercise the will of the people.
Jay Bones Because the PM was a moron who misread the tea leaves. That’s why he resigned immediately followed the referendum!
@@matthenson3472 Great take. How did he 'misread' the 'tea leaves'? He just didn't get the result he wanted and couldn't accept it. just like yourself.
Jay Bones I’m not British and don’t have a horse in this race. I’m just thoroughly enjoying someone other than America cutting off their nose to spite their face for once.
You’re a spastic.
Caroline Lucas is the answer. She is no threat to any side because no one takes the Greens seriously. She has no way to force anything through without the consent of the parliament, so is the ideal candidate to be trusted to call a snap election.
The fact that the opposition would be so deluded to accept such a weak candidate as PM would guarantee Boris wins a landslide general election. This would work right into the hands of "the people Vs parliament" rhetoric
@@danunpronounceable8559 she would be nothing more than a figurehead, someone to push the button. Not a leader.

Parliamentary antics? So MPs doing their job are 'antics'?
Their job was to implement Brexit after they signed article 50. Instead they have done everything to overthrow the result of the referendum and block our departure. Those are more than just antics in my book they are criminal.
John Yeah, those hardline brexiteers really screwed over the entire brexit process. If it wasn't for them, May's deal would've passed on the second voting and brexit would've already happened. I do agreed that those guys deserve to rot in jail
Good video as always, could I make a suggestion? In this video you are falling into the trap where the narrator focuses more on their auto-queue than on the camera. That's off putting for the viewer because it gives the impression that you are talking to someone off camera rather than the viewer. I think it's all about auto-queue placement. But that's just a suggestion and your video commentary retains its highest standard.
I'm against prorogation because it means Bercow couldn't shout ORDARRRRR for a whole 5 weeks
Poor guy
maybe with an alternative parliament, that's what they are discussing these days
@@GhostlyJorg An alternative parliament is a dangerous thing.
The whole point of a parliament is that it is elected by the people. How is an alternative parliament gonna work? A small part of parliament convening on the issues? Such a selective approach would deeply undermine representative democracy. "Okay, there are elected representatives who disagree with us, so we are gonna just put all the people who agree with us in a chamber and pretend the others don't exist" does not sound democratic at all.
Not saying that prorogation is necessarily democratic, but if you were to view prorogation as a deeply undemocratic move, you don't fix that by doing something even more undemocratic.
@@naphackDT It wouldn't be undemocratic at all if it was only during the prorogation which for the first time in history since democracy has been instituted for political reasons to obstruct Parliament. People don't realize how bad it is
@@blackphilip8936 Johnson is unelected and he is tyrannically blocking the elected Parliament on the most important issue since WW2. There's no lying about that

Another great video! I have followed your channel for months now. By the way, what does the acronym “TLDR” means? 😂
Too Long Didn't Read
Joesolo13, Thanks! I guess this is my TLTG moment - Too Lazy To Google 😂
It's really funny there is another channel out there called "Kurzgesagt - In a Nutshell", which is basically doing the same thing just some years longer and a little less politics there more science. It's basically the same idea: Making complex things easy, short and understandable. I wonder if TLDR had seen this at some point and decided to do this on politics and especially on Brexit because there seems to be some information problems out there about that.
Anyway I find it great and wished additional TLDR channels would exist for more countries or at least regions. It's so compact and clear and makes politics actually accessible and intresting. I hope they can grow and spread and can somehow keep tring to be independent and as unbiased as possible.
Watching the whole situation makes me more and more relieved that we signed the continuity agreement before No Deal kicks in.
We knew what we exported to the UK but not what we imported except for that vitamin water.
It was whisky. Of course it's whisky.
the continuity agreement?
An agreement made by countries that have free trade agreements signed with the EU and agreeing to continue trading under mostly same rules with the UK, even after Brexit to ensure the stability of both countries.
@@spoopytime9928 those are like 10% of UK trade. Trade to the EU alone is 50%
@@GhostlyJorg Still, gotta sell those phones. I don't know much about economy and how much we trade with the UK, but maybe we can sell more cars after cars from Germany get expensive. Also Samsung and LG are probably waiting for the British to finally snap and buy their air conditioners as heatwaves worsen every year.
This was a relief for me too. It could also show good faith for more deals in the future.
Basically it's what Britain needs to show the EU we mean business. I've just landed in the North East, people are so ready for brexit.
Just a guy with limited political knowledge here, but what happens to the Good friday agreement after brexit?
It's in the toilet as there is an absolute necessity for a border post-Brexit which is in direct contravention of the GFA. THAT'S the single biggest problem in the Brexit negotiations. There are plenty of others but that one is the cruncher.
There is actually a legal argument being attempted in the name of the GFA to stop no deal from happening, arguing that a no deal brexit effectively breaks the terms of the GFA, we'll see where it goes
I'm guessing it'll be shredded and we'll go back to the ways of the troubles?
As far as I know, UK will keep the border open (no border checks) and put import tarrifs on 0. EU will have to put up a hard border to protect the single market sooner or later. As soon as a border has been put up, GFA is breached. We will see what happens then.
@@barthuneker5027 Yes and Ireland will be the side who breaches the agreement. The UK will never put up a hard border, the EU can do what they want.
This strategy is very very risky. The EU has proven time and again, that the most important thing to them is protecting the common market. They have drawn their line in the sand. IF Johnson continues on his current course it is very likely, that the EU will simply fall on the "die" side of the do or die equation.
An he will crash the UK with or without a deal. T_T
Pro rogue nation
if the idea is to put pressure on the EU, the counter would be for them to add a number of days to the deadline to cover the number of prorogued days
Unlike the Tories, the EU doesn't want this process to continue until the end of time.
You didn't mention the short selling opportunities.
Probably because it's nothing to do with the subject of this video, which is about *how* he's planning to get us out of the EU, not *why*
Very well balanced and informative video, thank you
If you're going to continue to cut out of animation to person reading, you need to work on it, since at the moment you aren't looking at the camera, and it's clear the person is reading from a script. Not exactly engaging content.
Great job on this one 🙂👍
If I were Corbyn or anyone on the opposition, instead of playing tug of war, I would let go of the rope. Johnson wants Brexit so badly? Fine, have it. Just remember you have to lie on the bed that you have made.

Oh my God. Before 'objectively' criticizing these people, check yourself please. Grammar, spelling and punctuation.
The Prime Minister for a true government of national Unity must be Bercow
Since when can the Speaker become the PM,that's loopy.
Bercow is hated in the wider country, only the remainer london bubble loves him because he is one of them.
@@TheBarca1889 exactly,he'd instantly become the most unpopular PM ever .
Bercow's position as the speaker requires him to remain neutral. He cannot be asked to make the biggest decision this country has made in generations.
Then let's back up a bit. I believe the current conflicts between the executive and the Parliament has no precedent since the Civil War. This implies that the solution has to be unprecedented. It further suggests that if the UK is to call itself a democracy an election is clearly in order. But there needs to be more time in order to hold an election.
The question is a simple one. Is Parliament the ultimate Authority in the UK?
If it is, it must be functional and responsive to the will of the people. As it stands right now the single largest barrier to that is the lack of time to hold an election.
Wow, they are really amping up the stakes for the series finale aren't they?

@@GhostlyJorg oh, but "they were thinking about cancelling the conferences.. ? Who was? when? According to who?

I know what the TLDR channels are, they express a 'remain' point of view. (Political Left view with the US content.) I accept their bias, and listen to what they have to say.
@@glentight I made a google search and found that plans for cancelling the conferences was reported by The Sun, The Independent, The Guardian and Daily Express. This was feared by the Government and discussed on the highest level: "One senior source last night said the issue was discussed by Commons Leader Mel Stride and party whips.
"
Can't you make ONE search before you ramble on? Apparently not. You are pathetically uninformed while at the same time acting like you got it all figured out... I learn nothing dealing with you children, and you waste my time. Goodbye
And, I used to think our, (US), politics were screwed up...
Although i am against leaving the eu, purely for economic reasons, people voted to leave so there is no need to make it so difficult.
Johnson is smart and what he is doing is necessary.
Leaving the EU is difficult, extremely difficult even. But ofcourse that was not mentioned before the referendum. And when the pro-remainers warned people about that, it was supposedly 'fear mongering'...
No he's not, and no it's not.
It is necessary if he wants to establish some kind of dictatorship though.

Firstly, I love these videos. Very nicely broken down. keep it up folks.
Secondly, my question. At 8:45, you state that Parliament voting against a deal brought forward by the Govt, would lead to no deal (that’s clear to me) AND that it would lead to a general election. This is less clear to me. A vote against the deal isn’t necessarily a vote of no confidence in the Govt so why would an election follow?
I understand that a no confidence vote in the Govt could follow a no-deal Brexit, but that’s not a given. So what is the basis of your claim?
Cheers,
Aquil
i didnt follow his thinking there either - nor did i follow his thinking that no deal exit ends Johnsons career
tim hem I agree, I think good or bad, no-deal delivers Brexit which gets rid of UKIP. Ukip are Johnson’s only obstacle to gaining a ‘clear’ majority in any election that follows🤔
Great job, although who edited this ?
An outsider like me, looking at how divided the UK is and how it cannot come to a decision however much time it is given, can only conclude that the UK simply cannot govern itself and must therefore be governed by some other, like the EU. The UK is simply not ready for self-government. Eternal debate, it can; but self-government, it cannot. Makes Xi and Putin proud.
Wow. Lol
So, proroguing Parliament was a party-shaking controversy during the recent Tory PM elections. Johnson won saying he'd do this controversial thing (which many thought was an empty threat). He wins, and prorogues parliament...and now it's just a normal part of the system, nothing to see here?
