Al why the insults to Macron when he's sends his navy to protect British troops?

Progress

Solid step. Definitely a necessary step.

Grammarly Is Facing a Class Action Lawsuit Over Its AI ‘Expert Review’ Feature The feature, which Grammarly shut down Wednesday, presented editing suggestions as if they came from established authors and academics—without their consent.

I'm suing Grammarly over its paid AI feature that presented editing suggestions as if they came from me - and many other writers and journalists - without consent.

State law requires consent before someone's name can be used for commercial purposes.

🚨🚨🚨 🇮🇱 BOMBED NEXT TO THE UNESCO SITE OF BAALBEK
This adds to the 🇺🇸🇮🇱 axis targeting of a series of heritage sites in Iran, Palestine and Lebanon over the past week (see post 👇 🧵)

That's a mature electorate not enthralled to a single personality.

Very unfascist

Europe is moving quickly in most areas while Brexitism dominates our approach to everything and we remain stuck in the slow lane

Very interesting. Will be fascinating to see how UKG squares this with its trade agreements.

Positive vote of confidence in European standards and a practical step on alignment from UKG

No no no, the EU is dependent on the UK for its security. As proven just now when Cyprus, under attack because it has a UK military base, had to rely on the * checks notes * "opportunistic" French sending their frigate Languedoc to help defend it, and a whole taskforce on top.

Not offensive, just a bit silly.

Defacing the flag has a long tradition though

As my go-to commentators on all things Irish, what you think of this monstrosity?

Alas, Starmer is like a rabbit caught in the headlights.

Still terrified of the UK's Trumpist popular press.

Once area where Europe is moving quickly is security.

If the UK wants to influence those structures, it'll have to do more than stare in the window. It'll have to come inside.

They really will. This will be seen as a "Brexit hiatus", when the UK went a bit mad.

Kind of a mid-life crisis at a state level.

In 10 years, when the UK is even closer aligned to EU, everyone will be asking why the UK economy had to suffer for so long.

Very hard to make that argument real for Joe Bloggs, on the one hand, but equally they recognise that the broader area of Brexit is a sticky wicket for them.

Conclusion: focus on Brexit

Hadn't seen that story. Do you have a link?

Nigel Mirage? If his opponents can't use that...
Sticking my neck out now and saying Reform get fewer MPs next time. You can play the 'stay away' game when MEP coz no one's watching but Clacton is home turf and everyone sees him.
+council fails
Fool some of the people some of the time situation.

The Size of the country on whether it’s susceptible to interference is irrelevant, what matters is the checks and balances in place, how it copes with its own internal problems etc….

Sadly a large element of British (really English nowadays) thinking is closer to that large element of Russian thinking that believes it is exceptional and should dominate other countries. A large section of British (and English) society would like to broaden its horizons and there is the rub.

He’s an absolute clown

I’m ashamed to share the same nationality

He won’t be remembered for anything positive

Sure, let me think about it! It is possible but it would require changes to the constitutional order in CH, and would be relatively unstable

I wonder? Enormous name recognition and a rising tide. Surely he'll get back in?

Good question, I don't know.

The far right is called reactionary for a reason

Find this kind of thing quite chilling - the invasive cultural conformity hoped for by the UK far right.

I just heard the people of Clacton are calling him "Nigel Mirage"

Could equally apply to Farage and the European Parliament's Committee on Fisheries.

Or indeed the European Parliament itself.

Unfortunately Britain had easier to exploit fault lines 😉 We're still too hung up on Empire & self belief 🙄

Not to forget Cem Özdemir is also a very good politician.
