The Guardian is considered significantly politically slanted, right? I don't know how Brexit is going but I'd like to look at several sources with several different world views before I come to a conclusion.


That's the case for all news.

But for Brexit specifically, you'd be hard pressed to find good news about Brexit even on Boris' side, given how it's turned out and what an absolute shit show the government has been the past two years. The Brexit minister just resigned, and he's replaced it with a muppet, mostly for political reasons than competence.

Boris has become very unpopular for many reasons, Brexit one of them, and I bet he's not gonna be the head honcho of the Tory party for much longer. I hope Brexit becomes politically toxic it will become fashionable to rejoin the EU again but let me put down the hopium pipe first.


This is perhaps an equivalent article https://www.telegraph.co.uk/business/2021/12/21/year-brexit-... from the more pro Brexit side.


I've read a few of his articles, they remind me of Fox News. Britain sailing on to renewed glory after shedding the shackles of the EU that only served to slow it down from its rightful ambitious path forward.

Just one example:

"It will take time, but with regulatory divergence the UK will steadily pull ahead of rivals such as France and Germany which you would normally expect to perform as well as, if not slightly better, than the UK. We will be more innovative, attract more capital, and our companies will seize markets more quickly, than they otherwise would have done. We have seen the United States do that in technology, and now Britain will be able to match it. That is a prize worth having, and it has been secured."


Brexit is not even a reason Bojo is unpopular.


The type of nonsensical Brexit that Boris negotiated can only be supported by Conservative politicians who ignore reality and are comfortable with lying as their basis for engaging with the rest of the country.

The traditional, sensible Conservative MPs (Dominic Grieve etc) were forced out two years ago.

The reason why Boris is unpopular now are exactly the reasons why Brexit is in a hole: lies, rules don't apply to us, mindless boosterism, no plans for governing just gaining power, incompetent delivery.


And it might take a bit longer than a year for the dust to settle. Rome wasn't built in a day, after all.


It was burned in a day though.


To the left, right :) But if you are following unbiased analyses, say from foreign financial publications, they do agree on economic downside of Brexit.


Center-left from a US perspective. But where will you find a right wing equivalent dealing in actual facts instead of isolationist fever dreams?


Wouldn’t the Times fit more or less? Certainly, the Torygraph isn’t it.


FT is probably your best bet.


The Guardian is left-wing although the champagne socialists branch where the Daily Mirror is more the working class socialist paper. Check out the Tortoise or Byline Times articles on the subject if you want something more nuanced.
