The EU is protecting its steel industry. Unfortunately, these higher tariffs affect all third countries of which the UK is one by choice.

UK steel set for further hit as EU to double tariffs

Losing access to the EU market, the largest destination for UK steel exports, would have a "catastrophic" impact on jobs, a key union said.

Owing to the wars of the previous 150 years, European countries bound together in a *union* so they would never fight again.

We do this, among other ways, by have common tariffs and standards at the border, but none within; by having a common visa waiver, but FOM within; and a single currency

Once again, the Telegraph seems shocked that the EU is acting like… the EU.

This is exactly what sovereignty looks like when you’re on the outside.

I agree. I've seen Putin described as risk-averse; I don't think that's right. He takes risks that other leaders wouldn't, but only when he assesses that the likelihood of an effective response is low. The West has yet to change his assessment that he can keep pushing us back.

Keir Giles @keirgiles.bsky.social · 1d

Here is @nigelgould-davies.bsky.social on Russia’s disruption campaign against Europe. I’m not sure I would be so optimistic on the Kremlin being worried by US & EUR behaviour, but the conclusion is unshakeable: absent a serious response, this will get much worse.

Uff. I'd have to say the same.

No better way to show how dead-end-street the Tory idiots are.

Firstly, its nonsense to exclude those that did pay for these benefits.

And secondly: it seems nobody explained to them that we can end the TCA if we want to, thereby causing severe damage to UK.

Good to see that the Schengen rules are being enforced.

Those in UK that now have problems with that apparently did not adhere to the rules.

The rules are still the same. The difference is enforcement.

This really needs to be said and understood. What makes it worse, if possible, is that it is not coming out of any genuine crisis or emergency. It is a deliberate attempt to whip up anger and grievance in order to capitalise upon it & in Jenrick's case purely to advance his leadership ambitions.

Tanja Bueltmann @tanjabueltmann.net · 2d

I say this with the bluntness it requires: they will get people murdered if this continues. This is not just populism anymore either: it’s completely unhinged and a deliberate choice that does endanger lives. I am not saying this lightly at all.

Screenshot of an Express article; it says: Robert Jenrick lists 30 'activist judges' he vows to axe in war on UK's open border

In a bold move, Robert Jenrick is set to unveil a controversial plan targeting what he calls 'activist' judges, at the Conservative Party conference.

Surely we need more not fewer anthropologists if we're going to have a proper culture war? And if it is to be a performative one about social integration into English language and culture, then the other disciplines she mentions will have their uses in the future she envisages, too.

Badenoch and Co see education only as a means to a massive income in some soul destroying career.

Devoid of imagination and the power of knowledge they view life entirely through the prism of the CV.
