www.theguardian.com/business/202... Not exactly a surprise is it! Just rejoin the customs union. Forget having to cut welfare just get back to the GDP we enjoyed before the fucked up brexit #brexit

Incredible storytelling: powerful, humorous, thought-provoking. It channels Twain to craft a story which takes you places you hadn’t imagined (let alone wanted to go), churns you up, and spits you out a better person. @percivaleverett.bsky.social

It's not Bake Off. It's a global far-right insurgency. To normalise Nigel Farage, is to normalise Donald Trump. We, the media, have to wise up fast. broligarchy.substack.com/p/springtime...

Very enjoyable read; I’m a sucker for books that weave history into the present day. I love the city and I’m eager to get back to explore a few new areas. Definitely read Why the Dutch are Different too. @bencoates1.bsky.social Sidebar, Russell Shorto’s history of Amsterdam is also fantastic!

www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... So much to unpack but more proof, if proof was needed, of the shifting sands of Western geopolitics. Gone is the reliability of the US as an ally, replaced with its unfettered fealty to autocrats. @anneapplebaum.bsky.social @mrjamesob.bsky.social

I can’t recommend this enough. Relevant for any period in human history but absolutely vital for 2025. The epilogue is a call-to-arms for us all. @anneapplebaum.bsky.social @dorianlynskey.bsky.social @iandunt.bsky.social
