For for the West of England mayoralty More in Common have: Lab: 23% Con: 21% Reform: 18% Green: 18% LD: 15% It is genuinely absurd to have an election with that kind of spread decided by first past the post. Unjustifiable.

Given this mainly about mutual recognition of conformity assessment, there are lots of examples of non single market countries (and non FTA countries!) getting better arrangements than UK eg US, Australia, Israel, Canada, New Zealand. Not a matter of legal principle, just EU not wanting to do it.

I had been hearing Covid is still infecting thousands. It is just being covered up like information about the bird flu. Get a Covid booster if they are available and take precautions.

Donald Trump's flurry of pathetic, deranged posts this morning proves once again—that’s all he’s got. Republicans in Congress might still be scared of his mean tweets, but the rest of the world is laughing at him.

AI evangelism is weird because it doesn’t understand anything about intrinsic motivation. I remember a poem because it pleases me to remember it. I may never profit by it. But in my silent moments, I will remember it and my soul will be stirred.

Note to Anglocentric exceptionalists: FOM doesn't need to be "restored". The only people who chose to leave FOM were Britons. European citizens retain FOM. Maybe it's better to talk about Britons acquiring FOM.

My god. A Columbia senior just revealed during Rep. Ro Khanna’s Town Hall that the Trump Administration has canceled over $400 million in federal research to fight cancer and Parkinson’s disease. This is absolutely insane.

I see it. I have lived it. 83 years ago, the U.S. government turned upon a group of its own citizens and residents and sent them to internment camps without due process. I was there among them. American fascism is back. It is here. It is now.

Harvard has set an example for other higher-ed institutions - rejecting an unlawful and ham-handed attempt to stifle academic freedom, while taking steps to make sure students can benefit from an environment of intellectual inquiry, rigorous debate and mutual respect. Let’s hope others follow suit.

One possible upside of the Trump tariff lunacy is how he’s megaphoned to the world that making any deal with him would be truly insane. Unless you’re prepared to ‘kiss ass’ and betray your own interests, only for him to randomly change his mind. If you want red lines, that’s where they should be.

So Britain and EU now both on 10% tariffs. I don't think any consideration of a "special relationship" is factoring into Trump decision making so I hope it isn't factoring into ours either. Closer EU ties seem only viable trade way forward...

I’m not sure what you mean by “bog standard” EU membership. Part of our problem as members was that we continued to act as “special” rather than as equal partners. We must rejoin- but we must also be committed to the Euro and Schengen first - not reluctantly but with joy. Let’s enthuse people now!

Japan’s stock exchange has momentarily halted trading for hitting a circuit breaker after falling 8% at the open. We are seeing a global financial crash in real time that will last until Trump rolls back these tariffs or Congress fulfills its Article I of removing tyrannical presidents
