Let's win one for the Gipper.

Summary

This quote, often associated with American football, is a rallying cry to inspire and motivate teammates or a community to achieve victory in honor of someone named "the Gipper." It originated from a speech delivered by Ronald Reagan, an American actor and later the 40th President of the United States, in 1940. He used this phrase to encourage his college football team to win the game for their recently deceased teammate George Gipp, nicknamed "the Gipper." It symbolizes unifying and tapping into the collective willpower to overcome challenges and achieve success, and it has since become an iconic phrase representing determination and perseverance.

And, frankly, questions about the British debate on EU membership will just be a small sideshow compared to the rise of political populism.
