Trump would give Ukraine and, with time, Eastern Europe to Putin a gift from the felon, loser, and chief.

Why? Because Trump thinks it will get him the Nobel Peace Prize!

Trump’s goal: screw millions and sentence them to a dreadful life under Putin for a BS Prize!

A public inquiry on the management of Brexit would set the record straight, and maybe the BBC could run an impartial series for the 10th anniversary of the vote, making it easier for the government to show the courage and leadership to take us back into the EU.

Good thread from my colleague @sandertordoir.bsky.social on the role that services trade can play in Europe's growth.
Europe shouldn't abandon manufaturing - especially while the continent rearms.

But more single market integration, especially in services, can offset trade shocks and boost incomes.

Great title on this FT piece, with an observation from my side.

A decades-long effort to tear down internal trade barriers has stalled, leaving the EU economy ‘tagging along behind’

Maybe it was last week's reemergence of rumours about Farage's youth that was the clincher.

“We are sitting on a huge reserve of growth at a time when it is needed for the green transition, digitisation, defence and an ageing population,” said Pascal Lamy, a former EU trade commissioner and chief of staff to Delors. “Much remains to be done. We have clearly been way too slow.”
Good chart too, from the FT.

The single market for goods is far more complete than the one for services, however.

And intra-EU goods trade has been an incredible economic convergence engine as it enables the regions of newer EU member-states to climb the manufacturing value chain.

I couldn't agree more with you. I think this happened, already, months ago. There's no point in sucking up to the bully boy. It's time to stand up and turn our backs. We are on our own, now and have been for quite some time.

Phew good job Farage doesn’t still have a big ❓ over him re whether he dodged £40K in Stamp Duty

OR over his girlfriend being embroiled in a Corruption investigation in Brussels

OR over his #Racism not just at school but also as leader of UKIP allegedly using the N word

But hey.. about Reeves 🙄🤦🏼‍♂️
I must have missed the wall-to-wall coverage of demands for an investigation into Nigel Farage's lies about being a racist

Or about whether he knew Nathan Gill

Or about who bought his house in Frinton

How Europhobia crushed Tories, and why Labour must beware
From Thatcher to Brexit, the Tories’ war on Europe turned a political colossus into a crippled party. Labour risks repeating the same mistake
