Which new world order do you think we are in? Might is right, rules-based international order now a dead letter, global power blocs etc?  If so then we need to get closer to one of those power blocs because we are looking pretty lonely out here on the edge of Europe. The US is only interested in the Americas, from the Arctic to the tip of South America. Trump may have some residual nostalgic affection for the UK but Vance and the others around him certainly don’t.

I can’t see any geopolitical alternative to getting closer to the rest of Europe, fractious and divided though the continent often is. That vision of a Global Britain is a chimera. Trade deals with distant countries just aren’t going to cut it. Long supply chains will always be vulnerable (and expensive) and anyway we no longer have the navy to protect them.

Maybe there’s another new world order I need to know about? A more benign one even??
