This basically implies that no other nation is allowed to regulate its own markets and denies their sovereignty. It's mental and will, in the end, lead to the world decoupling from the US

Laws don’t count if there is no one to enforce them.

@gabrielmilland.bsky.social @jamesmchapman.bsky.social the message from @samfr.bsky.social reminds on Fraser Nelson’s values

@rolandmcs.bsky.social in case you missed

@missmc.bsky.social @jdportes.bsky.social to add to the debate

We can say, without any doubt, that social media conspiracism now rules the world. If that doesn't prompt some serious rethinking about social media and its regulation, I don't know what will.

👇👇Bardella ducks CPAC after Bannon Nazi salute. The European far right might be starting to wonder who they’ve jumped into bed with. Farage included. Johnson for sure.

open.substack.com/pub/paulkrug... Scary column as Trump sows the seeds of the next financial crisis by trashing regulators - and amen to this: “Cryptocurrency, which is rife with fraud and scams — indeed, the whole thing may be a scam — is now being actively promoted”

Realistically if the USA security guarantee is gone, Europe (including the UK) is looking at something like 3-3.5% or so of GDP as regular defence spending. And very probably another 1-1.5% or so as additional defence capital spending for a good 5-10 years on top of that.

"North Carolina senator Thom Tillis told people that the FBI warned him about 'credible death threats' when he was considering voting against Pete Hegseth’s nomination for defense secretary... "Tillis ultimately provided the crucial 50th vote to confirm." www.vanityfair.com/news/story/t...

Nailed by Duncan - political consequences significant. Rejoining EU single market easiest way to partly finance

Never expected a world where JD Vance would refer to Niall Ferguson’s arguments that dictators shouldn’t invade sovereign states as ‘moralistic garbage’.

Implications of the end of NATO for Europe facing Russian aggression,.

reuters: united states refusing to co-sponsor a draft un resolution on 3 year anniversary ukraine condemning russian aggression + backing ukraine territorial integrity might consider a russian resolution condemning ukrainian aggression though

Amusing seeing Niall Ferguson and Vance have a public spat because of Putin/Ukraine

Seems like @stephenkb.bsky.social having similar thoughts. Personally I'd prefer to buy a security and defence bond than pay a levy. I wonder which would raise more. If the bare minimum is £5bn more a year, that's £100 per adult.

Unlike most of right wing commentator land I don't think Tim is cynical or a grifter he's just staggeringly naive and always has been.

Good to see Ed Davey using a 12 bore on Farage x.com/edwardjdavey...
