  • Brexit Is So Painful That Sky Has Launched A New Brexit-Free News Channel

    Brexit can be summed up perfectly by the Clash’s 1981 hit, ‘Should I Stay Or Should I Go’.

    I’m telling you this because listening to the song will be a hell of a lot more entertaining that outlining the current state of British politics, which seems to involve a bunch of confused politicians, digging their heels in and clinging to the outcome of a referendum in 2016 that most Brits participated in as a joke.

    If you’re keen on a brief summary – this is the current state of Brexit as Boris Johnson would have it:

    If you skipped over (or fell asleep halfway through) that video due to Brexit fatigue (or boredom), you aren’t alone.

    A recent study revealed that a third of people in England are avoiding the news entirely, and 70% of them chalk it up to Brexit.

    That’s why Sky News has decided to launch a Brexit-free news channel.

    John Ryley, the head of Sky News, said: “Sky News Brexit-Free is a bold approach but listening to public opinion over the past weeks and months, it’s something we know our viewers will find valuable.

    “Brexit is an historic story that has a major impact and we will continue to give it comprehensive coverage. The new channel simply gives people the option to take a break from Brexit, apply a filter to their headlines and hear about issues away from Westminster and Brussels with a focus on hard-hitting, original journalism.”

    Good news if you like to keep up with world events, but also need to keep calm and carry on.

    Moments ago, news did break of a massive Brexit development. Here’s the BBC:

    A Brexit deal has been agreed between UK and EU negotiating teams before a meeting of European leaders in Brussels.

    Prime Minister Boris Johnson tweeted: “We’ve got a great new deal that takes back control.”

    The two sides have been working on the legal text of a deal, but it will still need the approval of both the UK and European parliaments.

    The DUP has cast doubt on its sign off, saying they still cannot support it.

    The Northern Irish party earlier released a statement saying they could not back proposals “as things stand”, and – after the PM’s announcement – said their statement “still stands”.

    But European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker said it was a “fair and balanced agreement”.

    Both he and Mr Johnson have urged their respective parliaments to back the deal.

    So a massive development that still needs a whole bunch of people who have spent years disagreeing on things to suddenly agree.

    Got it.
