Two people who are not going to be pleased about UK getting closer to EU are Putin and Trump. Which is enough almost to prove it's a good idea.

My God. I never had the slightest hope this could happen. It seemed impossible. Romania votes against populism, rejects the far-right. An incredible result www.euronews.com/my-europe/20...

The economic illiteracy is disturbing, the claim to ownership is sinister. The combination is standard Trump.

Kemi Badenoch has supported Israel deporting two British MP's saying, "I'm not surprised Labour MP's were removed."

How utterly disgraceful.

Tariffs get their name from Tarifa, a pretty Andalusian port just west of Gibraltar which was base to notorious pirates who used to mug traders passing between the Mediterranean and the Atlantic.

Labour is doing the sensible thing in seeking to limit the damage of tariffs. But there's a limit to how much humiliation this country can take. And we're getting pretty close to hitting it.

So on brand for The Times to help whip up the victimhood of the right, rather than calling it what it is…
Criminal abuse of power. A corrupt politician being found guilty in a court of law.
Judges did their job. Le Pen muzzled herself. She is responsible for her own demise. Democracy is safer today.

Europe's appointment with history. Time to stand up in defence of European Values. And to enforce EU law strictly on US companies: data protection rules, competition rules, environmental laws, the Charter of Fundamental Rights, etc. No more privileged treatment of the US, put Europe first.

Latest OBR assessment: Brexit caused a 4% hit to GDP.

That's an astounding amount, the equivalent of more than £100,000,000,000 lost to Brexit.

Serviërs en Hongaren massaal de straat op tegen autocratie. Georgiërs nog steeds massaal de straat op tegen autocratie. Roemenen en Italianen de straat op vóór Europa. Zij laten zien: Europa is meer dan een continent. Het is een keuze voor vrijheid.

It doesn’t matter what Vance says about us. It doesn’t matter what Trump spews about us. They could cosy up to us, they could say they’re our best friends, they’re still racists and we should oppose them until they’re gone. We are not like them.
