Also it's important to NOT think of this as a direct move *by the Danish government*. The pension's board has a Ministry of Finance member, but 9/10 are non-government. This is an independent move undertaken by non-government actors, not a diplomatic decision.

Main impression after 2 days in London: any politician, official or commentator who now prioritizes party politics, petty scores or their personal career advancement over dealing with this crisis should find a new job.
Time to be serious.
As a lot of serious people have said for a very long time.

For this post to be about the United States and not Russia shows that there has been an absolute diplomatic revolution.
I spoke to the Secretary-General of NATO, Emmanuel Macron, Keir Starmer, Friedrich Merz and Giorgia Meloni.

The first thing Virginia Spanberger did after being sworn in as Governor of Virginia was repeal Youngkin’s executive order requiring state and local law enforcement to cooperate with ICE.
This is the kind of leadership Democratic governors nationwide should be emulating.

The government feels like it's heading towards banning under-16s from social media. Has it thought the reason why kids spend so long on their phones is they have nowhere else to socialise with their peers after offline spaces shut? By me for @the-independent.com

Is it possible that certain politicians defend X because "those on the other side“ criticize it? Has UK politics become so moronically polarized and binary that people would say the most absurd things simply because it is the opposite of what the others say? Is this a pathetic culture war issue now?
