I've felt many things as a "pro-immigration fanatic". Anger at the hate, division and bs spread by likes of the Telegraph mainly, but never "humiliation". The evidence is clear, and global, people move, people have always moved, people will always move, and that is an overwhelmingly positive thing.
Future us will look back and realise that the countries who figure out how to manage and use immigration for our benefit are the ones which did the best.

I think this should give us some hope that our systems are holding up in this unprecedentedly hostile environment. We need to remember to vote for the honest and not the selfish.
This is preying on my mind a bit. Jeffrey Epstein was not primarily a British scandal! So far we've removed a Prince from the Royal family, fired our US ambassador who was one of the most important political figures of the last few decades and banned the CEO of Barclays from the financial industry..
One by one, Europeans mentioned in the Epstein files who still hold political office are beginning to resign or are being forced out of office.
Meanwhile, ruled by an administration almost entirely made up of Epstein associates, the US carries on as if nothing really happened.

The biggest leverage that the US has over Europe is our dependence on imports of gas. This makes our transition to renewable energy and electrification of the grid more important than ever. The most important thing for UK security is building as much renewable capacity as possible immediately.

Hugely welcome money for UK fuel poverty, with a shift from insulation, towards solar PV, heat pumps, batteries as most cost-effective way to cut bills for low-income households
But UK has draughtiest homes & fewest heat pumps in Europe, so is it moving fast enough?

There's a lot to do to ensure true European sovereignty: bank technology, computer operating systems, internet browsers, cloud storage, network hardware. That's before we talk about eliminating US defence systems.
Trump’s tariffs and threats mean it’s make your mind up time. If we can’t rely on America and we don’t want to cozy up to China, the answer is to get serious about our strategic future with Europe. NATO needs this too - the reset must be real, and it must happen quickly for all our sakes.
