When Nigel Farage visited Harlow.

Pippa Crerar had two choices as I see it

1. Let the Gov know there had been an Official Secrets Act breach

2. Write an unverified story to bring down a PM.

I’m glad the Gov are investigating the leak.

I know it's tin foil hat territory but the M.O. is very similar to Hungary, Georgia, Serbia, Bulgaria etc.

I visit england a lot and remember 2012..olympics year and an amazing time to visit London. The decline since has been so dramatic, it's as if by design and not by the british.

THE PRIME MINISTERS SHOCKING & SHAMEFUL IMMIGRATION PLAN AND WHY WE MUST OPPOSE IT YouTube video by Peter Stefanovic

The Prime Minister’s plan to offer rapid routes to settlement for those earning six-figure salaries whilst punishing and making lower-paid workers wait appears to be based on the notion that care workers are “low-skilled” because they are low-paid - its an absolute disgrace

I say that all the time. It’s never America First it’s always Trump first.

The Brits appear ready to shame the US news media into covering this, distracted as they are by gazing at their own navels ...

I asked a German friend once how she deals with English exceptionalism as I don't understand it and I'm English.

She said she found that being very direct and 'German' can work but with the disadvantage that you may be accused of being rude. 🤷‍♂️

The myth of British exceptionalism has to be confronted head on if the country is ever to position itself rationally in security, trade, diplomacy. British exceptionalism is our original sin.

However, at least as reported, the discussions to date are being driven by thinking in Germany and France in particular, and it is difficult to see how such a development could be separated from EU initiatives to boost the capacity of its defence industries. More generally, it is hard to doubt that the centre of gravity of influence and decision-making of a ‘European NATO’ would be the EU simply because the bulk of the countries involved would be members of both. Almost inevitably that would fall foul of the kind of sentiments expressed in the Mail editorial and, indeed, the idea is already being reported in The Sun as “Europe’s secret plan” – not, admittedly outright Brussels-bashing, but certainly there is no suggestion in the report that this plan is something the UK is, could, or should be involved in. At all events, the prospect of a British government making a whole-hearted commitment to this, or any other version of a regional security alliance, seems remote for so long as the

Why is Brexitism still such a potent idea, despite the increasingly obvious weaknesses - and hostility to Britain - of global far-right populist?

Chris Grey gives the answer.

Also they have social media in Canada and Carney's doing fine.

They have it in Spain and Sanchez has been PM since 2018.

And in France where Macron's been President since 2017.

The original political decision to appoint Mandelson was a catastrophic and unforgivable error of judgement by Starmer for which he should pay a price. But Robbins hasn’t come out of this well.

Hear hear!

2026 and a Royal Family that gets £500m a year and doesn't pay any tax should not be a thing.

We don't want them.
