Europe used to be somewhere British people could move through life, not just travel through on holiday. A job offer in Amsterdam. A relationship in Barcelona. A retirement in France. No grand plan required. Freedom of Movement made opportunity spontaneous. Brexit made it bureaucratic.

@tomgaymor.bsky.social Fun race, Do you think that Palou has less of a target on his back from the rest of the field now that the championship is decided or more of a target given the desire to set a tone for next season? #SkyIndyCar

A warning for European democracies: MAGA’s support and funding for Far-Right European groups & parties will grow: carnegieendowment.org/europe/strat...

Why MAGA’s Far-Right European Ties Will Endure
In supporting Europe’s far-right, MAGA and Russia both want the same thing: a weaker EU. Europe must defend itself without abandoning the openness these forces exploit.

@tomgaymor.bsky.social Best of fortune tomorrow. At risk of back seat driving if things get too much politically thanks to Trump you can always invoke Jo Cox's more in Common speech and this final statement by late Republican senator John McCain. www.johnmccain.com/2018/08/fare...

If Nigel Farage is heading towards power let it not be because journalists forgot the basic craft of their job and because Michael Grade was nodding at the wheel www.prospectmagazine.co.uk/politics/uk/...

Nigel Farage is a dangerous demagogue—here’s how to stop him
The Reform leader and his media cheerleaders have cynically exploited the murder of Henry Nowak.

Keir Starmer is talking about closer alignment with Europe, so here are three simple resolutions for 2026, keep the promises on EU relations, take real steps towards the Single Market and Customs Union, and listen to the public that wants closer ties.

One of our members spotted this nice rather large memorial bench while on holiday in Scotland. A fitting tribute to European Union membership.

RFK Jr's move to eliminate the Administration for Community Living, which helps disabled & aging people stay at home instead of being institutionalized, is disastrous. I'm never done shouting about what my mom's institutionalization took from her & from us (so here's my @teenvogue.com piece again).
