Even Starmer has acknowledged that we need to move closer to the EU, but his Government have offered no serious plan to make this happen. If we want to boost trade, we must rejoin the Single Market and Customs Union.

Looking into what the rise of Reform means for liberalism in Britian + in politics for the Liberal Democrats in particular. Farage's success presents strategic challenges to British liberalism. In party politics, LibDem incumbent MPs look likely to be big tactical beneficiaries of Reform's rise

Which of these would be a bigger risk to our joint European security (and our climate goals)? 🚨 Making the EU more dependent on Trumputin LNG (www.politico.eu/article/dona...) 🚨 Trumputin reopening NordStream2 (www.ft.com/content/dc9c...) #geopolitics #EU #EUsky #EUCO @marossefcovic.bsky.social

Why more Trump LNG? Green advocates slam EU’s ‘disastrous’ energy price plan
To lower energy prices (and perhaps please Donald Trump), Brussels is suggesting backing investments in foreign gas projects.
