More reasons why the UK needs to align more closely with Europe, #digitalSovereignty
“The main event is this: the world is building optionality away from U.S. policy and platform dependence. And once you see it, you can’t unsee it — because it’s showing up in procurement decisions, supply chains, defense budgets, and capital flows”

Farage thrives because other parties have let him - Labour in particular, constantly following his framing on immigration and asylum. And the media don’t challenge him either.
@zackpolanski.bsky.social sets his own framing and isn’t scared of Reform. A one-on-one debate could be a game-changer.
