If the _only_ thing we got from the EU and all the membership fees paid were the longest period of peace most European countries have been fortunate to enjoy, the money would’ve been extremely well spent. EU is a peace project first and foremost - but so much more too. Our last, best hope even?
Ursula von der Leyen@vonderleyen.ec.europa.eu · last yr.Eighty years ago, enemies laid down their arms. Since then, we, Europeans, have built something extraordinary: a Union of peace, democracy, and solidarity. An anchor of stability. Our Union was born as a peace project, and it remains one today.
It's been a while since waking up to good political news. Well done Canada. Well done Mark Carney.
It takes a massive brass neck to have your administration attack another president for being disrespectfully dressed in a meeting and then turn up to the pope's funeral in a blue suit.
Journalists quite often get emails written in exactly this style, often sent to scores of recipients on multiple publications, and the sadly reliable assumption is that the irate sender is miserable, paranoid and probably unwell.
No one should be allowed to lead a country without undergoing a couple years of psychotherapy first.

In any other administration, the president would already be huddled with advisors trying to stave off collapse
So according to Kemi Badenoch "putting our national interest first" involves cheering on a foreign government arbitrarily detaining and deporting our own country's elected MPs
Wow who could’ve guessed that this would happen It’s almost as if USAID was a pillar of American soft power and influence in the world It’s almost as if it was entirely predictable that America’s adversaries would work to fill the void left by USAID’s destruction
My last visit to The Yard Theatre in Hackney Wick before it closes to be rebuilt. Jay Miller’s The Glass Menagerie has had terrific reviews and the run has been extended to May 10th. Some tickets still available but it’s selling out.

The UK and our NATO allies will never forget the sacrifice of 43 Danish soldiers in Afghanistan after 9/11. But it appears JD Vance has.
Imagine negotiating with Putin and then coming out and telling everyone what bastards the Canadians are. Imagine having a brain so broken that this sequence of events is even thinkable.

Baby boomers, like me, didn't have material trinkets but we had hope, a free education, secure employment and affordable housing. Generation Z have none of these, little wonder they suffer from anxiety and depression.
