That’s not confusing if the policy is only for England (skills is devolved). It’s better than the government saying Britain when it means England only which is usually what happens.

This is a persuasive case. I also think liberal democracies need to adopt a pro-active, aggressive threat-hunting approach to identifying and extirpating influence/information operations by hostile state actors. You could call it a campaigning, persistent engagement approach.

A Europe with more strategic autonomy does not just need better European cooperation: it needs to address fundamental weaknesses in Europe’s nation states, their sovereignty, democracy and cohesion.

As Europe seeks greater autonomy from a declining but dangerous USA there are few easy strategic choices. None are cost-free for European citizens. A new approach to nation-building is needed.

Yet so much of our media and establishment still seem to believe in the ‘good chaps’ theory of government. If the populist right come to power here any remaining ‘good chaps’ will be trampled in the rush of the venal and wicked.

Not sure my definition of nationhood is compatible with excluding whole chunks of people we may not like or agree with.
