Is it though - or is that just wishful thinking?
If Reeves called an emergency budget, broke the manifesto and increased income tax for a direct immediate raise in military spending, the Telegraph and Mail would kill her.

Not sure if Kaja Kallas actually reads these … but just in case … Europe needs to show stronger collective leadership now more than any point in its history.
Weakness and reluctance today will be paid back 10 times more in future.

Not quite sure why you say that. @goodwinmj is a charlatan desperate for attention who has to bend his views to fit the narrative he wants to be part of.
@georgemonbiot (who I don’t agree with on a lot) actually believes what he says. And for honest people it’s clear Russia is the aggressor

A good article - for me the biggest change is people in their 20’s don’t want to take risks as financially they can’t lose a decade if they want a house / family.
The stakes of failure are unbelievably high.

One presumes that interest can change is if it’s electorally advantageous. They went from Kennedy to a coalition with the Tories in just over 4 years.
I can easily see the Tories spinning off far right and them nudging slightly to the right after a period of Labour government.

Gosh - sorry to hear that, and glad you are doing ok now. Must say that’s a shock considering I seem to be very susceptible to catching the noro virus by non oyster means.

Surely this is just the price you occasionally pay. I’m sure I must have.

Man U beat City = Man U a good team.
So Spurs go 3 up.
But being 3-0 down to Spurs must make you a bad team.
So Spurs crumble.

I do think that Britain is a little different here because Farage simply won’t do left wing economic populism.
He can get all the great polls in the world but people won’t vote for him if he says he will scrap the NHS.
Boris was a left wing economic populist (cake and eat it etc)

Isn’t this similar to all the complaints GMAIL was breaking privacy laws by scanning your mail for advertisements? Ultimately people will just get on with and it’s use is such that application of laws will change

Thank you - I thought that was the case. But I’m honestly a bit ignorant as to what their territorial ambitions are in this area. Would they be happy to hold and just see Assad gone.

A question from a position of total ignorance. Is this not just replacing a horrific regime with ISIS?

Safeguarding doesn’t mean stop. It means apply appropriate measure. This debate, and the legislation that will come from it is effective safeguarding.
