Brian May, who once declared that Brexit was the "stupidest move" the UK had ever made, announced to the world that he was making new friends over in France in a bid to escape British politics, As Prime Minister Liz Truss teeters on the edge of power, the 72-year-old Queen star is putting all of that behind him and enjoying some quality time in the wine capital of Bordeaux.Posting tranquil photos of himself perched beside the river, Brian told his 3.1 million Instagram followers that he still considers himself to be a proud European."A moment of peace.

And precious time making new friends in beautiful Bordeaux," he wrote."For a moment, all the embarrassing humiliation of Britain by our Government seemed far away."I’m proud and happy still to be a European!!!" he concluded after his photo update.A post shared by Brian Harold May (@brianmayforreal)Last week, Liz Truss's Chancellor of the Exchequer, Kwasi Kwarteng, was sensationally sacked after it was decided that his tax cut policies for Britain's wealthiest could wreak havoc on the country.He had been in his position for just 38 days when Liz was forced to ask him to resign, in a bid to cling to her Prime Ministerial role.Jeremy Hunt then reversed almost all of the policies that Truss had promised she'd implement, leading some to call the party's current status "undemocratic".As pleas rose within the Tory Party for Truss to resign, and many called for a general election to appoint a new leader, the world of British politics seemed more chaotic than ever.Musician and astronomer Brian May has long had an interest in the ups and downs of the country's politics.Back in 2019, he had told the world via Instagram that he hoped Brexit would "go away" and hit out at David Cameron.
