Intressant. Väntar på analyser av säkerheten hos kärnkraftverk i ljuset av senaste krigföringen med drönare.

We need a European approach to AI in the world of work that promotes the uptake of digital tools for our competitiveness and protects workers at the same time. This is what we discussed today with MEP Andrzej Buła on this topic.

🔴 Workers’ rights in Europe are at their ‘worst level’ in at least a decade as a result of government crackdowns on the right to strike and union busting by employers, the annual Global Rights Index published today shows www.etuc.org/en/pressrele...

Jytte Guteland vinner över partistyrelsen och (S) skärper sin miljölinje. #Skongress

Tage Erlander ledde regeringar som gjorde stora investeringar för att bygga sammanhållning när migrationen (främst inom Sverige) var omfattande. Både Magdalena Andersson och @andersl.bsky.social borde dra lärdomar av det.

Flera av dessa fackliga frågor avgörs i EU. Även risk att de blir omöjliga pga nya regler om inte marknaden. Fackliga behöver driva på (S) europapolitik. #Partikongress2025

Under sin tid som finansminister amorterade Magdalena Andersson över 250 miljarder på statsskulden. Det var hennes enskilt största satsning som finansminister. Hade de pengarna kunnat användas till satsningar DÅ som gjort att Sverige stått starkare i dag? arbetet.se/2025/05/30/v...

The EU's 2040 climate target is likely coming on July 2 and will feature international carbon credits, Hoekstra told EU member state representatives this week, diplomats told me: www.politico.eu/article/eu-2...

Musk could’ve flown to a country like Uganda to see for himself USAID’s work providing medicine to people with HIV or feeding refugees from South Sudan. “Instead, he drew on the counsel of internet trolls & staffed DOGE with lackeys who were similarly ignorant.” www.nytimes.com/2025/05/30/o...

Bakgrunden till detta beskrivs i min bok #Skuggspel. #Lobbning.

Marco Rubio is creating a new “Office of Natural Rights” at the State Department that will “build the foundation for criticisms of free speech backsliding in Europe and other developed nations” www.politico.com/news/2025/05...
