🚨NEW RESEARCH🚨

Closer ties with the EU could deliver growth of up to 2.2%.

Clawing back up to half of the damage caused by Brexit.

Delivering double the impact of a UK-US trade deal, according to the govt's own analysis.

And all within Starmer's red lines.

Atmospheric pressure at the centre of Storm #Eowyn dropped by 52 millibars in 24 hours. Great explanation of explosive cyclogenesis in this piece, the arctic air over the US hitting warm air over the Gulf (of MEXICO!) to drive the highest winds all over Ireland in 80 years - and probably since 1839
'Weather bomb' smashed wind records unbroken for 80 years
Storm Éowyn was one of the most powerful and widespread wind events to hit Ireland since the so-called "night of the big wind" in 1839.

How do autocrats stay in power?

Our new research dives into the strategies of political control—repression, co-optation, and indoctrination—used across 229 autocracies from 1946 to 2010. What we found will change the way you think about authoritarian resilience. 🧵👇

Earlier today, NATO SG Rutte and Ukrainian President Zelenskyy gave a short statement to the press in Brussels.

Note Rutte's tone and choice of words, indeed even the cadence of his delivery are important - and reassuring on some key issues.
