So, yes, there are benefits - a G7 economy, re-widening the Single Market and re-integrating key markets like energy and others, potentially a fuck you to Putin and a show of unity, FoM, etc, but there are very deep risks for the EU and MSs too.
It’s nowhere near a slam dunk, at all IMV.

It’s an absolutely gigantic risk for the EU and its Member States:
1. Brexit cost the EU & EU businesses fortunes in uncertainty & adjustments, and sucked up near endless political capacity and attention. It cost the UK much more, but still cost the EU.
2. It would require MS leaders to stake…

Further evidence that widespread covid vaccination is better for everybody.
A study on 1.7 million people in Hong Kong shows superior hybrid immunity to Covid in people who got vaccinated before infection vs. people who got infected first. "Our findings are a direct rebuttal to arguments for natural immunity," the authors write. doi.org/10.1016/j.va...

A massive problem today is the uneven distribution of shame. Some of us are running dedicated on-site shame servers 24/7 while others have no access to shame at all, even though they desperately need it. What we need to do is put shame in the cloud

A similar force is at work with some prominent Brexiteers - many of whom are from families who formed the imperial detritus. They can't forgive England for not being the country they thought they understood from air-mailed copies of Country Life.

Here is Richard Dunstan, a prominent commentator closely associated with the Sex Matters charity, speculating that I enjoyed being sexually assaulted as a child.

“Halfway to Ukrainian independence”? Seriously?
During the talks, Marco Rubio reportedly said: “We are already halfway to securing Ukraine’s independence. Today we made significant progress.”
Ukraine became independent in 1991 — first from Moscow, then it gave up its nuclear weapons👇

What this Reeves lying nonsense very obviously boils down to is immense disappointment on the right that the budget did not tank the markets. They wanted a Truss moment causing huge problems for millions of people but didn’t get one. They are patriots, apparently.

Dismal framing. Every aspect of most asylum seekers’ lives is controlled & paid for by the Home Office. They can’t work, are told where to live & have no autonomy or dignity. So they aren’t *choosing* to use taxis & don’t need to be “banned” from doing so. The HO just needs to get its act in order.

The ban is set to come in February and any exemptions will have to be signed off by the Home Office.

The Home Office’s absurd taxi bill results entirely from its insistence on forcing people to move round the country without choice or notice, & to live on the breadline so they can’t afford public transport. That Mahmood didn’t know about it till the BBC told her shows how appallingly the HO is run.

I see the Indy is also going with asylum seekers being “banned” from doing something they were being forced to do unwillingly in the first place, so presumably this is how the Home Office‘s press release is framing its own admissions of incompetence and waste
