... for that process.
With Putin and Trump redefining the international order and creating threats and chaos that we as Europeans all face, the priority has to be coming together.
Of course you're right, the UK would have to rejoin under a new set of conditions. The era of British and Danish exceptionalism in the EU should be behind us.
Equally, with the EU needs to evolve. The UK, along with Germany and France, and potentially Spain and Poland, have leadership roles ...
Brexit has failed.
In times of international turmoil, we can see the need for European peoples to be as close as possible, which is why Iceland is moving closer to joining.
The sooner we have Breturn, the better for the UK and the EU.

So Trump wants to dictate to Israel legal system, choose the new leader of Iran, filch oil funds from Venezuelan that he also runs, is limbering up to invade Cuba, still seeking to annex Greenland, land planes in Spain that they’ve banned.
He wants to run the whole world, modest really for a maniac
... and all tickets have now been sold. So nothing for me after all!
I don't know if it's a @ticketmaster.com problem or something else, but that is seriously annoying.
Rant over!
Just need to vent my frustration:
I was about to buy a ticket for @arsenalfc.bsky.social's away match to Bayer Leverkusen next week, I had the ticket waiting to complete the purchase, and then it froze when it went to the bank authorisation bit.
By the time it had got there, the ticket had gone...
Hi @jamesbenge.bsky.social.
I was just listening back to the Brighton/Arsenal postmatch press conference. You asked Arteta about Herzeler's whinges, referring to "the three times Raya went down".
In fact, Raya only went down once.
Let's not promote Herzeler's lies!
We need more transparency and accountability in public life.
I came into politics after a decade working on open government and anti-corruption around the world. I believe people want to see power closer to them, not a perception of elite capture and influence peddling.
It’s not right that tourists are being charged rip-off fares for a pedicab ride.
I’ve long called for regulations on pedicabs and from October TfL is bringing them in, making sure the industry is safer and fairer.
I have today been informed that, despite personal assurances to the contrary, the Green party have once again used my image and misrepresented my words on a second leaflet circulated in Gorton and Denton ahead of the by-election. I have now lodged an official complaint with the returning officer.
Here's a very interesting new tool from the Tax Policy Associates (per @danneidle.bsky.social).
An easy to use - but impressively comprehensive map - of offshore ownership of UK properties.

Good episode of The Insiders podcast on the absurd World Cup draw, "Peace" Prize and the fleecing of fans wanting to attend the World Cup next year.
But @adamcrafton.bsky.social, you do remember there are three countries hosting the World Cup, right? Bc it sure didn't sound like it on the podcast.

On a day of sadness in the UK, it's lovely to see something joyous - a garba dance at Mumbai Airport in celebration of Navratri.
I'm not sure if there was any planning in this, but I just love how the dance brings everyone together.
RIP Dickie Bird. Legend.
It's happened.... 😀

Thank you, @rostaylor.bsky.social, you were superb on this week's OGWN.
More than one million Russian military personnel have likely been killed or wounded since the full-scale invasion of Ukraine began in February 2022, according to a growing body of Western estimates.

@gordoncorera.bsky.social Thanks for the new episode of TRIC, on 7/7. Brings a lot back.
Bit of info for Mr McCloskey though: the UK does have a constitution, it's just not codified. See here for a brief explainer: consoc.org.uk/the-constitu....

... the self-evident error everyone at Villa seems determined to peddle. In terms of the wording of the laws of the game - not assumptions about them - the decision was probably right.
Why not at least raise the question, rather than participate in trashing the reputation of a referee who ...
@aakinwo.bsky.social does a great job on his podcast for @theathletic.bsky.social, but it was a shame in the latest episode that there was no questioning or pushback on the Aston Villa narrative about Thomas Bramall's decision to disallow Villa's goal in their game at Man U.
It certainly wasn't ...

DOJ says the U.S. government would have to “entreat” or “cajole” El Salvador to return him.
I’m pretty sure one phone call demanding his return — or else hell to pay — would do the trick.
