Swedish public service radio created eight profiles on TikTok, which were immediately bombarded with far-right and Nazi content. 1/3 of the political content shown to them on TikTok "contains elements of hatred, incitement, romanticisation of violence or very serious offences."

In general, the UK needs a complete rethink about how it handles EU ties, away from fantasy politics / "special deals" towards an acceptance that Brussels is a crucial part of cross-government delivery whatever our relationship. Of which there is so far little sign. ecipe.org/insights/new...

the real problem is people trying to put old labels on a new idea. federalism is a part of the new EU but it's too narrow a term to describe it now.

No, it's being going on since before Brexit and it has continued since. Exceptionalism poisoned the UK's membership, causing it to miss the biggest integration projects, and led to Brexit. Since then, it has been unable to behave as a normal country vis-à-vis Europe.

for those wondering whatever happened to David Frost - one of the many brexit negotiators for the UK - he's criticising the EU for sidestepping pro Russian actors to get seized russian assets to Ukraine. идиот (Russian for "idiot")
A tweet from David Frost: "Whatever one thinks of the merits of this particular policy, the use of Art 122 (again) is further evidence that EU member states can't use their national veto in moments of crisis, even when the EU treaty says they can. Of course some of us already knew this."

In response to another tweek explaining:

"Good work by the Commission and the majority of EU member-states.

They have approved the long-term immobilisation of the Russian assets under Article 122, which requires only a qualified majority.  "

I love those who bash this. They can't decide on the tyrannous superstate vs ineffectual bureaucracy narrative. If the EU is weak, geopolitically doomed, the euro is garbage this ‘breaking convention’ shouldn’t matter to them. The EU standing up for itself the computer simply cannot compute.

The biggest tactical mistake that Labour made was whipping to vote for Brexit. Now they are critically unable to attack Farage, tie him to Brexit, Putin, and Trump. So the UK is a soft-pro-join country but doesn't associate Farage with Faragestein's Monster, aka Brexit.
