The EU needs Britain's arms industry. And Britain needs the EU economic and security blanket. The UK's armed forces are small and impoverished, with their chiefs saying they face a ยฃ28bn funding shortfall. According to a recent report by the Centre for Economic Policy: "By 2025, we estimate that UK GDP per capita was 6-8 per cent lower than it would have been without Brexit. Investment was 12-18 per cent lower, employment 3-4 per cent lower, and productivity 3- 4 per cent lower." Other estimates put Britain's losses at lower levels, but there can be no doubt that Brexit has been a strategic economic failure.
"Tariffs risk making Europe and the United States poorer and undermine our shared prosperity. If Greenland's security is at risk, we can address this inside Nato," she added. The EU needs help from the UK to do that. Britain has much to give the EU: its armed forces and military industries would accelerate and improve the bloc's security. Trump's attacks on the very existence of Nato, his contempt for Europe in general, and his continuing support for Putin's land grabs mean that the UK could negotiate better terms for re-entering the EU now than it would have done before the US president tore up international law and turned on the US's oldest friends. The Greenland crisis is Britain's best opportunity.
โโฆif the crisis caused by Trump is seized as an opportunity for Britain to rejoin the EU on terms that bind the UK to the mainland. This would make both parties safer โ and stop Putin from dancing a happy jig around the Kremlinโ
Time to fix stupid.

Yes, there are two Nobel Committees. The one in Norway awards the Peace Prize. The one in Sweden awards the other prizes.
Neither have anything to do with Denmark, let alone Greenland.

For well over a decade, Nigel Farage criticised Davos and just two years ago criticised Starmer for going and calling him a
"full-on globalist, hanging out with his mates at the World Economic Forum."
So, question. Where do you think Nigel Farage is going today?
Choosing sides between a rogue president bent on destroying the Western alliance and UK and EU governments finally standing up to him shouldnโt be difficult for mainstream political parties or news organisations. So come on Telegraph, Times, Badenoch and yes you Farage if you want to be PMโฆ

Today I lost an NIH grant training clinicians to do research about intimate partner violence with perinatal women.
More women are murdered in the perinatal period than die of obstetric complications.
I didn't just lose a grant. We lost an entire cohort of people building careers to prevent that.
People think being small will keep them safe.
It won't.
The reason we know who Mahmoud Kahlil is is because he was loud. Do you think he's the only person the administration has tried to disappear? He's just one of the first we've noticed

The United States of America is the only major country on earth that does not guarantee health care as a human right.

Yes. We need Medicare for All.
In the past four weeks, Costco, which has embraced DEI initiatives, GAINED 7 million shoppersโฆ
Target, which got rid of DEI, LOST 5 million shoppers!
Thatโs the power we have as consumers.
Remember that.
So, Tories finally admit they left the EU with no plan โfor growthโ.
They also had no plan for trade, science, the arts, business, jobs, training, education, travel, farming, fishing, borders, immigration, healthcare, regulations, food securityโฆ

A catastrophe of prejudiced uselessness.

Big day in parliament. The truth that seems unreported is how kind, reasonable and thoughtful the debate has been between those who don't agree, constituents and MPs alike. Kim Leadbeater has led from the front with the kind of graft and compassion, anyone who knows her would have expected.
