Implore and highly desire decent and reasonable discourse. Hate intolerance, autocrats and the way the world is going. Love decency, differences in all of us and hope.

Here's @peterkellner.bsky.social telling Labour it'd better restore frictionless trade asap with the EU. If not, "The economy won’t recover enough. Labour will be judged to have failed. It will be voted out of office." He's even more blunt on demographics! kellnerp.substack.com/p/three-reas...

🇪🇺 Kaja Kallas: Europe has already drastically reduced its reliance on Russian energy.
Today, we unveiled our plan to end all Russian energy imports by 2027.
This will mark a permanent break. Russia will no longer be able to use energy as a weapon against us.

I need you lads to understand that Europe has an average birth rate of about 1.4
No charismatic politician bothered to tell you how fucked that makes us.
But as we get older, we need more care, more GP appointments…
Without immigration we will have no pensions very quick.

I had a productive call with Ursula von der Leyen this morning. We’re ready to build on our free trade relationship, bolster economic security, and work side-by-side on shared defence and security challenges.
When Canada and the European Union build together, our futures are stronger.

It is a little weird to me countries aren’t more aggressively, formally trying to take advantage of the U.S. science brain drain. Once in a lifetime opportunity to buy low on Non-Dumbass Americans with PhDs who just wanna look into microscopes and quietly cure ass cancer as our country eats shit.
