This will of course affect all of us. But unlike 2022, since then we personally transitioned to a heat pump and an EV, and I can't help but wonder that the direct economic effects on Europe would be smaller if we had been more forceful in the transition away from fossil fuels.

Sánchez und Merz sind in Sachen Iran zu sehr unterschiedlichen Positionen gekommen. Sánchez sagt, der Angriff sei völkerrechtswidrig, deshalb abzulehnen. Merz behauptet, völkerrechtskonform könne man leider nichts machen (was Schwachsinn ist, siehe JCPoA) - und begrüßt den Krieg.

Its genuinely mad that we are, arguably, the most successful multicultural state on earth and instead of celebrating that we...
...keep trying to copy nations who have very evidently done worse at it than us

Thread. Whatever you think about Danish immigration policy the claims made about its impact on politics are just wrong.

A Danish lesson for Labour on how to stop migrants and start winning
Like the home secretary, I visited recently to learn how the centre-left is riding high and reclaiming the asylum debate from the populist right
Denmark has *far* worse outcomes - economic, social and integration - than the UK.
Just a fantasyland for those who want an excuse for their own xenophobia and/or are incapable of doing the hard work of confronting the UK's real problems.

Keir Starmer is going to end up with his trademark u-turn here – where it becomes obvious to those paying attention it was entirely forced by backbenchers. So he gets no credit for the u-turn by people who wanted it, and attacked for dropping the policy by others.

If ever you needed a front page to capture the crass yet also dangerous silliness of so much of our media, and the impact of right wing nationalism which has done so much harm through a history from which some seem so unable to learn

Tag 2 der Luftschläge: Israel und USA werden systematisch weiter Ziele angreifen. Iran ist zwar teilweise enthauptet, Kommandostrukturen funktionieren aber. Iran wird weiter begrenzte Gegenschläge ausführen und wild Material verschießen, damit es nicht am Boden zerstört wird.

Too many who should know better are backing this war. It wouldn't be happening if a) Trump were a remotely serious president who knew the risks of embarking on something whose aims he still can't specify, and b) Netanyahu wasn't embracing regional chaos as his get out of jail free card.

If you are interesting why these strikes happened right after we received news that the US-Iran talks went reasonably well though without breakthrough, Lord Ricketts has an excellent explainer.

Extraordinary that in these fractious & divided times, so many of us can unite around the single, simple fact that Matthew Goodwin is an irredeemable twat.

As I said three months ago the government will not achieve ‘decency’ over ‘division’ by trying to be Reform Lite

Berlinale-Chefin Tuttle bleibt vorerst im Amt: Symptome einer Kampagnisierung
Die deutsche Bundesregierung bestätigt Tricia Tuttle als Berlinale-Direktorin, will das "Gespräch" mit ihr aber fortsetzen. Mehr Gelassenheit wäre angebracht
Bert Rebhandl: „In den nächsten Tagen wird sich zeigen, ob der provinzielle Widerstand gegen eine international exzellent vernetzte und auch in den globalen Diskursen heimische Direktorin sich als mächtiger erweist als das nahezu einhellige Votum der Branche.“ www.derstandard.at/story/300000...

This move is a declaration of war on UK-European families like mine and makes joint trips to the UK impossible for the foreseeable future. It was abysmally communicated. The message from this Labour (!) government to the British diaspora: f-off and don’t come back.

The Musk family are actively endorsing Restore Britain, a party the racist Reform UK considers excessively racist, whose slogan is “millions must go” and whose leaders call for the expulsion of Britons of darker skin or Jewish, Muslim or otherwise non-Christian faith
