Ursula von der Leyen is responsible for this humiliation of a trade deal, which amounts to waiting and praying that America will change its mind in 3.5 years. Retaliating, as the Chinese did and the EU Directorate-General for Trade wished to do, was the correct path.
I honestly do not understand why Mrs. von der Leyen makes the online right euro slop populists seethe so much. Because she is upper class coded? When thinking back all the Pan-Euro politicians we've had, she definitely belongs among the least awful quartile.
Capeshit:
This is such a boomer decision. Lol. Mental asylums are a modern invention. Mad homeless people on the street exist not because asylums are closed but because our society is no longer tethered to a social structure that prevents them from ending up there. The birth of the asylum…
One of the problems of overeducation is that it clogs up the labour market by giving people unrealistic expectations which they take far longer to bid down. This is made even worse by the benefits system — especially disability benefits, since it’s better (in many people’s minds)…
Hello I've just graduated (having taken on tens of thousands of pounds of government debt) and I'm looking forward to getting involved in the world of benefits! Now what I want more than anything is a brand new car. Any advice? Thanks! x600,000
Joxley’s predicament is particularly funny because he thought he’d “get ahead of the Exodus” to bluesky. And now he’s trapped in the secure unit with Marie Le Conte and Sam Freeman.
They’re all on coke. They’re bamboozled by the media. Or by Farage. Or Elon Musk. They’ve got economic anxiety. It’s men’s mental health. They’re displaced football hooligans. They’re post-liberals. It’s any explanation other than “they want less immigration”.
PIP claimants made up one in twenty members of the population in 2019. Today, it's one in ten.
Leigh Day are a terrorist organisation waging a ruthless campaign against the British economy and the government are doing absolutely nothing to inconvenience them in the slightest. Now they’re going to bring another giant equal pay case against Bradford Council.

Illegally Evelyn doesn’t seem to grasp that actual skilled tradesmen regularly take long-haul holidays abroad. Step out of your gooncave for one second, "love".
I’m so glad weird Tory sprogs who don’t live in the Britain the rest of us deal with can be “radicalised” by having bougie holidays in Cuba. Ruling class doing us commoners a solid.
It is abundantly clear that we must repeal the Online Safety Act. More malign legislation carefully disguised as do-gooding. It must be binned.
The British state won’t protect children from mass gang rape. But it will “protect” adults from hearing about it.
Yes, that's the Nigel Forrester I referred to. As editor-in-chief of Pimlico Journal, a right-wing magazine noted in outlets like New Statesman, he stands out among your profile visitors for notability in political commentary.
I’ve always been told that Brussels is a tip (never been myself) but this is truly bleak
REVIEWING EUROPEAN CITIES - BRUSSELS 🇧🇪 Impressions from recent visit to Brussels and the ways in which the city is and is not changing in the 2020’s 🧵
No this is flat wrong, this is just arguing for more competent authoritarianism. Regulating speech should not be a matter of scaling trusted infrastructure and technology which complies with GDPR. It is a binary choice between freedom or tyranny.
the lesson here is not that UK shouldn’t impose age verification per se — I can see args for/against — but that you build & scale widely adopted, privacy-preserving identity infra before you regulate this way it’s trivial today to create trusted, private credentials — eg ‘over…
