The main problem is not policy but politics. In the UK and elsewhere. Social democrats turn up with policies they think people want. But these policies more often than not don't add up to a clear idea of what society social democrats strive for. All short-term transactional and not transformative.

Well, if this trend continues, the debt rollover costs will be lower than expected, creating fiscal space even without a growth effect. This could help ease fiscal issues in the short term, while additional growth and the promised debt brake reform should help in the medium to long run.

nobody cares that he just makes up numbers by counting VAT and randomly pricing non-tariff barriers? And then graciously gives discounts?

He just adds-VAT and prices non-tarriff barriers arbitrarily to come up wiht the numbers he wanted?

Ohne eine Reform der Schuldenbremse wird die SPD Mitgliedschaft keinem Koalitionsvertrag zustimmen. So einfach ist das.

Die ARD wird wohl tagesschau24, das ZDF angeblich ZDFinfo behalten. Zur Zeit sieht es damit so aus, als wäre phoenix ab dem 12. März Geschichte. Hier kann man noch unterschreiben, wenn man das keine gute Idee findet 👇

Sie stimmen keinem Sondervermögen Verteidigung zu. Das kann man umschiffen, indem man Investitionen generell von der Schuldenbremse ausnimmt und damit genug Raum im Kernhaushalt schafft.

What truly shocks me: Across Europe – Germany included – so many people seem so disengaged from politics that they neither notice nor grasp the tectonic shifts reshaping the world around them. The naivety is simply breathtaking.

Washington post’s top two stories 1. Trump wants to shift the US towards Russia 2. Trump admin to cut defence budget by 40% over next five years. Is this policy made in Moscow and Beijing or what?

Interesting piece by Jonathan White. It is indeed the marrying of narrative-based politics sustained by evidence based policies the centre-left has struggled with.

Good that there is increasing understanding in BXL & MS that Trump 2.0 wants to fundamentally undermine #EU (finally). Consequently transactional logic not THE answer. More European efforts & cooperation required. Very difficult decisions ahead related to war & peace under immense (time) pressure.
