Does someone have a good summary of what's going on in UK?

Timothy Snyder is alluding to a real mess there, but I'd like to find a good explanation. Haven't been keeping up with their politics.

Thanks.

Snyder says reversal of Brexit needs to happen ASAP.

9. Brexit: No case for UK returning to EU, Labour leader Starmer says

The UK "will not go back into the EU" under a Labour government, Sir Keir Starmer has said, in a speech attacking the government's record on Brexit.

https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-politics-62034754

The Labour leader vowed to "move on arguments of the past" and seek to "make Brexit work". He said the UK was "stuck" and needed a plan to get its "economy growing again". And he recommitted to keeping the UK out of the EU single market, customs union and free movement rules.

Speaking to the BBC's political editor Chris Mason before the speech, Sir Keir said: "We want to go forward, not backwards. And therefore this is not about rejoining the EU.

"It's very clear that what we can't do is reopen all those arguments, all those divisions that caused so much anguish over past years." He said the economy was stagnant under the Conservative government and its Brexit deal was "holding us back".

Labour's plan, he said, would focus on "unblocking" the government's Brexit deal by removing barriers to trade with the EU and taking steps to resolve border issues in Northern Ireland.
