Quite an admission, basically saying: I have offered my country's vote to a foreign power that sees itself at war with the European Union and am aiding them in dividing us.
💥On his flight to the EU summit, Viktor Orbán revealed what appears to be direct coordination with Vladimir Putin: Hungary would be spared Russian countermeasures if Orbán votes against the EU’s confiscation of frozen Russian assets: "So we Hungarians have protected ourselves."

If you have a bank account in your country or use U.S. technology, as most of us do, this will 100% affect you and your loved ones now and well into the foreseeable future. And this is why #Digitalsovereignty should be a goal for every democratic government if they are serious about freedom.

"Seven German journalism students tracked Russian-crewed freighters lurking off the Dutch and German coast—and connected them to drone swarms over military bases."
Well done by the students. How come the authorities didn't figure this out? Or did they just not tell us about it?

Allies must act as allies.

We must respect each other's sovereignty.

Europeans do not share the same vision as the Americans on various issues. This is natural. What we cannot accept is the threat of interference in Europe’s democratic life.

When the Telegraph admits Brexit is a disaster, the ground is moving. The question is: why isn’t Starmer?

As set out in this thread, the causes of the court backlog are chronic lack of funding and absurd inefficiency.

The government has made no proposals to address either. Their answer is to remove juries.

Rather than fix the leaking roof, their solution is to burn the house down.
Here is a list of reasons why some of my hearings and trials this year have been delayed and kicked off into the long grass, stuck in our record court backlog. Serious allegations which will now be tried *years* after the event. 🧵👇
