European Commission ‘has not set preconditions’ ahead of summit where a partnership for €150bn defence procurement is expected to be forged
The European Commission and UK government are moving closer to a defence deal that will open the door to British arms firms being able to reap bigger potential rewards from a €150bn (£129bn) EU fund, but both sides insisted it was not tied to fishing rights.

A mother and her three children were snatched by ICE from a dairy farm in Sackets Harbor, a rural town in northern New York.
But the location is no coincidence—Tom Homan, Trump’s border czar, LIVES THERE. He allowed his own neighbors, including a third grader, to be jailed. Deplorable.

Labour's approach of announcing cuts first is such poor messaging
