Good to learn that the UK Government is making practical preparations for closer alignment with the Single Market, and acknowledging that the EU also has interests.
Any progress us useful, but UK Govt will need to be clear that this is a general realignment with EU and not cherry picking.

A year ago, I went to Copenhagen to write about the political crisis sparked by Trump over Greenland. Danes told me that the US can already do whatever it wants on the island.
Their conclusion: Trump just wants the U.S. to look larger on a map

Viktor Orbán held an international press conference today. It is interesting to note that the room was packed with English-language media outlets supportive of Orbán. Are there no longer enough pro-government Hungarian journalists? 🤷♀️

10 people are accused of making malicious comments about her gender and sexuality. For some, this included equating her age difference with her husband, the French president, Emmanuel Macron, to “paedophilia”. If convicted, they face up to two years in prison. Continue reading...
