If we surrender our standards, we surrender our sovereignty.
If we give in to populism, we do not regain control, we lose it.
A democratic, green, social and competitive Europe is not only possible. It is necessary. 3/3

Our standards are our power. They protect our sovereignty and our ability to act.
We need to hold the line on what makes Europe strong.
Rule of law, digital protections, climate and industrial leadership, and strong social rights.
These are not obstacles to competitiveness. They are the basis. 2/3

Doesn’t this contradict the need for the omnibuses and simplification efforts?? Most, nearly all, are not finalized nor implemented…

Finally we are officially in winter (at least astronomically). Down with the silliness of calling the second half of November "autumn" when it's as cold and drab as the rest of winter.

Moving countries and adapting to a new place and a new language is constant work, even when it's fun, even when it's pleasant. I am happy here and think I will be even happier, but miss the familiarity of London.

Okay, here we go.

Health & care staff are no longer allowed a Covid booster, but they're still expected to look after COVID+ patients.

NHS/govt is reneging on its duty of care. Staff will become unwell, and patients too will suffer.

You know what to do

I’ve always been a list maker, but I feel like it is absolutely necessary now. I have to keep track of things people suggest, what I find, things that fly by the screen. I genuinely feel if I don’t write it down I might miss out.

I just think about the protestors who have been prosecuted and the role of juries in their trials
an underrated part of the British crisis is that the justice system is under massive strain, not least because criminal barristers are often being paid *less for taking a case than their costs in doing so.*.

A comprehensive rundown of the #COP30 shenanigans from @roycerk2.bsky.social. From what I saw, the Colombians were the only ones whose negotiators and civil society groups were on the same page, and they carried the whole world on their shoulders.

The state is not a tumour on a preexisting society that can be separated and extracted from it, it's a form of social organisation that forms part of a society.
