The EU plans to implement a digital payment service which will be free of charge and replace the Visa/Mastercard/Paypal/Google/Apple methods which all charge 1-3% for nothing, it will be the standard payment method in the EU.
This the exactly what needs to be happening.

Brexit: an endless FFS.
Particularly the dull-arsed, stubborn refusal to face up honestly to the extent of the idiocy and the cost we’ve inflicted on ourselves.

Every single time Trump has a meeting with Zelensky, Putin calls Trump the day before and Trump’s position in the Zelensky meeting then mirrors the Russian position. The talking points are the same, with all the same lies. It’s a simple playbook for Putin and it works every time.

The outrageous sanctioning of EU lawmakers and citizens in order to pressure democratically-elected European governments to change their laws shows just how intent the US government is on controlling Europeans' lives.
We must go into 2026 with eyes open.

The US can destroy a European's life with the swipe of a pen
This week's US sanctions against European lawmakers and privacy activists is a major escalation. And it shows the dangers of Europe relying on American economic infrastructure.

Shropshire canal breach caused by collapse of artificial embankment
Shropshire canal breach caused by collapse of artificial embankment
Work under way to refloat boats on emptied waterway after earthwork more than 200 years old fails
The dramatic breach of a canal in the early hours of Monday, which sent two narrowboats tumbling into a hole and left others stranded, was caused by the collapse of an artificial embankment that had stood for more than 200 years.
As emergency services declared the major incident phase over more than 24 hours after the embankment failure, work was beginning to isolate the damaged section of the canal and refloat boats still stranded either side of the emptied section of waterway. Continue reading...

Dear UK, the Nigel Farage guy is an asshole and a Russian stooge.
He saddled you with BREXIT, the stupidest self-inflicted wound I’ve ever seen.
Why are you giving him the fucking time of day?

Citizenship isn’t just a passport. It’s a bundle of lived rights — to move, work, study, love, retire, care, and belong. Brexit stripped millions of UK citizens of those rights overnight, without consent or compensation. That’s why citizenship matters.

Brexit wasn’t an election.
It wasn’t even a referendum because the only referendum we had was advisory.
This was a government decision, and not even a parliamentary one.
So don’t let them compare it to elections. It’s really not.

They told us we’d lose nothing.
But we lost the right to live, work, study and retire across 30 countries.
Freedom of movement wasn’t a luxury. It was our right. And they stole it.

One of my loveliest friends died this year from cancer.
She loathed Brexit as it had been responsible for preventing her making Spain her part year home in recent years.
I know one of her greatest wishes would be to rejoin the EU.
