On February 25, 2026, British business secretary Peter Kyle embarked on the ultimate diplomatic wink by signing a competition cooperation deal in Brussels. His proclamation that Brits are 'not nostalgic' for the pre-Brexit era sounded less like politics and more like a breakup line from a dating app profile. Kyle hailed this as 'a real vindication of the reset' between the UK and EU—some might say a fancy term for 'we didn’t totally mess things up.' While Brexit remains a hot topic hotter than a leftover corona in London fog, Kyle’s embrace of deeper economic ties shows Labour’s desire to patch the mess without swallowing bitter nostalgia medicine. All in Brussels, where serious faces whispered sighs over imminent competitor cooperation, proving politics can be awkward like trying to hug a porcupine.
