Sky News, "If the government agrees, with everyone from the Bank of England, to the OBR, to their own treasury research, that Brexit is a drag on economic growth"

"And that Labour's number one priority is that very growth itself"

"Why not do something about it?"

Labour has shifted its stance because it has lost the centre ground to the LibDems and the Greens. Starmer/Reeves are now going to blame the Tories and Reform for Brexit and use it to justify higher taxation. But they are not going to do anything about reversing Brexit, the real elephant in the room

The deal Trump secured was almost identical to the one Biden had on the table. Trump was obviously happy to let Netanyahu destroy Gaza and kill tens of thousands of Palestinians and attack Iran for him. He only went for the ceasefire deal when Israel attacked Trump‘s business buddies in Qatar.

Estonia has closed the Saatse border crossing with Russia due to an unusually large Russian military presence on the other side. The Estonian Police and Border Guard (PPA) noted increased patrols and military movements that were much higher than normal, which were deemed beyond routine activities.
