Definitely worth considering - what happens when the AI bubble bursts, and might Europe look a little more appealing? Because for all the current panics, actually there's still a lot of strengths here.

Trump threatened to pull the state's federal funding, he sent Vance there multiple times, his allies (including his son) are currently threatening to oust all the Republicans who rebuked him, and he's already sicced his goons on these lawmakers, bringing them countless death threats. But ok.

Labour's debate on EU relations is moving fast to the point where it is now expected that leadership candidates are expected to promise to ditch the caution / hero voters approach. Apart from there being no current vacancy, there are other problems --->
"In his endorsement of Brexit trade freedoms, Starmer resembles Alec Guinness’s half-mad colonel in The Bridge on the River Kwai, defending an edifice he has forgotten was built for the benefit of the other side."

Another new guise in my replies. It seems Andrew Hesselden hasn't given up on have mass campaigns to just improve his own personal situation.
On point 2, that would mean Spain having to leave Schengen, heavily damaging its tourist industry and goods trade, and destroying relations with Europe.

This should be the biggest story in the country right now. The sitting US President was extorting state lawmakers from his own party by threatening to withhold public money if they didn’t gerrymander for him.

The Trump regime is pushing for Austria, Hungary, Poland, and Italy to leave European Union, this is the latest ploy by MAGA to weaken support for Ukraine and help Russia. Trump's inner circle is hoping to plunder Ukraine's territories and dissolve the EU for financial gain.

💔 A European Parliament interpreter could not hold back tears during the speech of 11-year-old Roman Oleksiv from Lviv.
The boy survived a missile strike on Vinnytsia on July 14, 2022, which killed his mother - it was the last time he saw her alive.
