But most people in Britain (and in Europe at large) are completely unaware of the surrender being offered to Trump in their name.

The British media did not cover this 'dirty digital deal' in September, nor are they covering the scrapping of the Digital Services Tax now.

Citizens in the dark.

From 2030*, passengers of private jets departing from the Netherlands will pay a flight tax of €420 to €2,100, depending on distance. So far, they only paid €29.40, just like ordinary airline passengers.

Yay for Dutch parliament!

I’ve often noted my belief that out of all societal systems industrialized countries have tested so far, #Nordic #SocialDemocracy is, if not the best, then at least the least bad.

Despite all its very real flaws and shortcomings.

Here’s one BIG reason: Social #Democracy makes us free.
I wrote this from personal experience almost 8 years ago (!!!). Still think it holds quite well.

Even if #Finland ‘s current right-wing government is hell-bent on reducing our real freedoms, by dismantling what’s left of our greatest achievement: the welfare state.

✅Micro & small operators were granted extremely simplified tracking.

✅ Big companies had invested heavily & were about registering their data.

✅ Partners in exporter countries were working hard.

♻️Reliability is key.

❌But there is a vote for delay & review (even before starting)??? 🧐⛔️

Many conclude that #COP30 wasn't a big success, but not a big failure either.
Given the speed with which the climate crisis is developing, any COP that's not a big success is now a big failure, though.
We can't afford losing a year.

How China could crash Europe’s energy grid and what the EU can do about it

In my latest, I look at how Europe’s solar boom has quietly given Beijing potential access points inside the EU energy grid through Chinese-made inverters.

Stellantis chair wants every European to pay more for their electricity.

(EVs are batteries on wheels, they charge on renewables that might otherwise be curtailed thereby lowering overall system costs.)
The EU should relax its green car rules in an upcoming policy update or risk sending the auto industry into a tailspin, Stellantis Chair John Elkann warned in an interview with POLITICO.

The EU is coming under enormous pressure right now to scrap the carbon border levy scheduled to take effect on 1 January.

But without CBAM, there is no functioning EU ETS. And without ETS, there is no EU climate policy.

As a reminder:
