You know what? I really don't think it is. Great domestic political posturing, but Labour have no plans to go beyond the 'reset' agenda, certainly none the EU are likely to accept. This will be talk to little if any action.
Starmer declaring “we have to keep moving towards a closer relationship with the EU” is a significant moment.
Reflects transformation in public opinion + need for economic growth.

Woah. Newsmax’s legal analyst just said Pete Hegseth and everyone involved in the illegal boat strike should be “prosecuted for a war crime.”
They’ve even lost Newsmax on this one.

Actually, the likelihood is 100%. In US jurisprudence, accused people are innocent until proven guilty. Hegseth's victims were not proven guilty; they were not even tried. Therefore they were ALL, to the last man, legally innocent. Hegseth ordered the murders of several dozen innocent men.
Rand Paul just posted this letter from the Coast Guard confirming that 1/4 of the boats they stop carry no contraband. The likelihood that Hegseth & Bradley ordered the murder of innocent civilians is very high.

Elon Musk’s charitable foundation grew larger than ever in 2024. But, for the fourth year in a row, the huge charity failed to give away the minimum amount required by law — and the donations it did make went largely to charities closely tied to Musk himself, who is the world's richest man.

If you missed @mrjamesob.bsky.social’s show 12-1pm today - it’s basically a one hour monologue where James eviscerates claims that Nigel Farage is no longer racist/antisemitic (using clips of the man himself that took place much more recently than the alleged teenage vileness).

He fantasized regularly about maiming & killing unarmed civilians. Actually.

Brussels media @euractiv.com is now reporting Canada agreed to pay in €10 million - if that is indeed the case, it becomes even more mad that the EU and the UK negotiations on this broke down.
As I wrote yesterday, my understanding was that the demand of the EU towards Canada for SAFE participation was much lower than towards the UK.
If this report is correct, though, the €10 million agreement is much lower, and rather closer to the UK's proposal for its contribution.
