I don't recall the likes of Jessop caveating UK GDP growth that came in way above forecast and was equally flattered by attempts to beat the tariffs

Desperate wishful thinking from Brexittears, they really think companies are going to make long term plans based on the unpredictable whims of a madman? Anyway, not sure which companies are supposed to be interested? Pharma? They have Ireland, Auto? They have US production

🕹️ Thanks to Taras-P interceptors, Ukrainian forces have successfully taken down 258 high-value Russian drones. The Serhiy Prytula Charity Foundation reports that seventeen units of the Ukrainian Defense Forces are now equipped with these advanced interceptors. militarnyi.com/en/news/tara...

Since Jackson Hinkle is blowing up on twitter again, I may as well share a secret with you. He is banned from travelling to the E.U. Turns out if you have an E.U passport and collect the evidence that a non-E.U citizen promotes extremism, you can request your government ban them from entry to Europe

Ultimately Kemi Badenoch is someone who a) claimed that a careers advisor who steered her away from studying medicine did so because they thought “black kids” weren’t academic b) didn’t get the grades to study medicine yet c) was rewarded by the Tory party for slagging off that careers advisor.

Well done BrexitHeadbangers

Deep Blue is 30 years old and was capable of defeating chess grand champions. It could be housed in a single cabinet. ChatGPT spans untold data centers devouring massive amounts of electricity and it got its ass whipped by an 8 bit gaming console from the 1970s.

An apology. Yesterday, I suggested on this site that sooner or later, Reform's new chairman, David Bull, would make an absolute turnip of himself. I was wrong. There was no "later" to it.

Perfect Reform material 😖: George Cottrell spent 8 months in prison in US in 2016-17 after being accused of offering money-laundering services on dark web. He did time for a single count of wire fraud after 20 other charges were dropped as part of a plea deal. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Interesting and timely post from tge OECD as Rachel Reeves keeps up the tradition started und the Tories of confusing one Quarter's growth rate with "growth". One swallow does both the summer make.

How on earth can this country still hold the World Cup and Olympics next year??

🗞️ The public hates Brexit. 📺 But the media still pretends it’s sacred. It’s time to change that. 💥 Support the only party that dares say it: Brexit has failed. Britain belongs in Europe. 🇬🇧❤️🇪🇺 👉 www.rejoineuparty.com/support #RejoinEU #BrexitHasFailed #TeamEU 🇪🇺

This isn’t even remotely legal what he is doing.

A Florida weatherman telling his viewers he can no longer be confident in his forecasts due to cuts to atmospheric science is the kind of resistance content I’m here for. Kudos, Sir.🌦️

Privatisation has been theft on a grand scale. Renationalise everything without any compensation.

Bulgaria joins the €zone from 1.01.2026. Currently, Bulgaria pays 3.85% on their debt vs UK 4.75%. Bulgaria’s interest rate is expected to decrease, maybe as low as Croatia’s 3.05%. Maybe it’s a lesson for Britain here. www.ft.com/content/cfe4...

But Trump is friends with both Putin and Kim Jong Un…

This is one of the incredibly useful ways the European Investment Bank (EIB) works. By counter-guaranteeing bank guarantees, it unlocks far more money for necessary investments. Unfortunately, Brexiters said we didn't need this kind of help and so we can no longer benefit from it. #RejoinEU 🇬🇧🇪🇺

Russia’s services sector PMI expanded at its fastest rate since the beginning of the year in May says S&P Global. However, the rebound was accompanied by falling employment levels and falling optimism. Bne IntelliNews

⚠️US manufacturing employment has been in contraction for 2.5 years: The ISM Manufacturing PMI employment index came at 46.8 points in May (below 50 = contraction). Since the start of 2023, employment has contracted in 24 of the last 29 months. The US job market remains weak

And U.K. exiting the European Investment Bank has cut UK infrastructure investments to the bone

Britain pays 4.75% on our debt. If we want to invest in infrastructure that’s what we pay. The chancellor says we can’t invest too much. But I say we can. We can rejoin the European Investment Bank where we borrowed at 2-3% for our infrastructure investments such as Cross Rail.

Wilders totaal mislukt! Niets gepresteerd. Alleen geblèr, gejank, broddelwerk en symboolpolitiek. Ontregelen ja. Regeren nee. Voor de tweede keer weggelopen. Uit onmacht: Wat resteert, is de onthutsende conclusie: veel bombarie, nul professionaliteit! Wat een blamage. Nederland verdient beter

Au secours Vladimir......

Excellent news, Mr. President. We now have more than enough pilots for our bomber fleet.
