explosive diarrhea lettuce, eh and this is yet another reason american produce is rotting on canadian shelves. it's constantly on sale. nobody in canada wants your human feces tainted garbage food. there's now big, prominent labels on everything made in canada so we don't shit ourselves to death

Important statement from the New York Times

A severely mentally ill man has control of the launch codes for America's nuclear arsenal, but it doesn't seem that many people care.

61% of 18-34 year olds think the UK should revisit the question of EU membership within the next 10 years, with 46% believing it should be revisited in the next 5 years. The public support is there. Now let's turn that support into meaningful action. #RejoinEU

Norway beat Israel 5-0 in the World Cup qualifiers and then donated the prize money they won to Gaza and that’s why everyone should be rooting for them.

Demented old man has the power to launch a nuclear war. He is a raging threat to humankind. Please Congress- you must impeach him

Aye, they have tried since Truss with two PMs who were nice, and now one that nice and provincial, but they seem to forget, even if they are nice people: Europe won't forget its fundamental interests

(except to continue the limited Starmer process) British Pro-Europeans should not accept this. Burnham obviously isn't PM yet and this position will hopefully develop, but this is not a great start. Ends

During the 1936 Olympics, Nazi officials temporarily removed anti-Jewish signs and stopped anti-Semitic news. No such hypocrisy from ICE during the World Cup. They carry on shooting innocent victims and generally terrorising neighbourhoods.

It's crazy that we recently had the 10 year anniversary of the Brexit vote and instead of celebrations people are still talking about what a disaster it's been for Britain Foreign funded Farage and the Russian backed brexit con Screwing Britain over for his own ends for decades

Egypt fans being pulled aside, patted down, and double-checked before the Argentina vs. Egypt match, while Argentina supporters were allowed to walk through security without the same level of screening. And this is exactly why people keep accusing FIFA of double standards.

The elderly couple walking on the road, and the bus rapidly accelerating backwards, aren't making me nostalgic either

Farage’s grotesque use of someone’s murder for his own agenda is really quite sickening.

Nigel Farage is correct about one thing. It’s the people vs the establishment. Reform are literally the establishment. And it’s the Green Party on the side of the people. Wealth tax. Rent controls. Now. Join.greenparty.org.uk

In case you missed them. The first four of my revised series on Brexit, now in seven parts, are available on NE Bylines.

A thoughtful and well-informed analysis of the various stages of Brexit, with links to reliable sources on specific issues. Valuable.

Ireland has just taken over the presidency, so now it's Ireland's turn to make sure four things happen: 📝continuity of the EU’s agenda ⚖️sound law-making 🤝cooperation among member states 🇪🇺 coordination with the other EU institutions More ⬇️ link.europa.eu/XGfWTH

Brexit naturalisation effect: what citizenship decisions reveal about the value people place on EU citizenship once it's gone. What people were chasing was not German or French or Irish nationality, "it was the bundle of rights that EU citizenship carries". maartenpvink.substack.com/p/the-brexit...

I see Farage has made someone else's murder all about him as expected. What an utter piece of shit .

Just heard Farage called Nigel Fauxrage and I will be using this from now on.

After a months-long occupation, Minnesota is still recovering from a retribution campaign waged by the federal government. Now, Minnesota stands with Houston in demanding accountability for the fatal shooting of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo. This bloodshed cannot be normalized.

Today, I declined another invitation to present my research at a fantastic American University because it is not safe to travel to the US for people like me. And mind you, I'm a pretty bourgeois professor.

Black leaders across the South have expressed a visceral shock in the wake of the Supreme Court’s decision gutting the Voting Rights Act. But as the surprise wears off, a sense of isolation has begun to set in among some. 🔗 politi.co/4vSW46T

L’économie britannique pénalisée par le Brexit "Si on compare avec la France, les choses ne sont pas si différentes que ça. C’est vrai que ça a été une sous-performance par rapport aux attentes qui avaient été créées, mais ce n’est pas si catastrophique que ça" explique Isabelle Mateos y Lago,...

If he is a pensioner on a state pension and resident in France under the Warp agreement, then he probably holds an S1 which allows the NHS to pay the French health system for his health care. This applies to me and my Wife also although she is 11 younger than me. We, however, voted to Remain.

I am resident in France myself since 2020 but had a 2nd home for many years before Brexit and I know of a few hypocrites who also live here having voted leave. Also worrying is there are a few MAGA supporting yanks about too.

It's both. Brexit compounds the problems faced by other countries. There's no Frexit. Everything was reconsidered: the party's name, but also the question of leaving EU and euro. We realized people didn't understand, that it was an idea that was too tough, too brutal. www.lemonde.fr/en/opinion/a...

There's no Dexit EU membership is broadly popular in Germany, with only 10% in favour of a so-called Dexit, something that has led the AfD to tone down its rhetoric in recent months and instead focus on more specific policy issues, such as EU climate policy. www.euractiv.com/news/german-...

They wanted it up until they saw the self-inflicted damage.

The French British project did not qualify for EU funding. This is the backfire for France they are talking about. Nothing positive came out of Brexit but that’s a separate story

France might elect a Kremlin-sponsored president next year. The consequences for Europe would be catastrophic. People have gone mad. Russian information warfare via US-owned social media is on track for a major victory here in Europe on par with the election of the Trump regime in 2016 & 2024.

The effectiveness of Russian information warfare is impressive. For a tiny fraction of what Moscow spends on the military, Russian influence ops are on course for a complete and total victory over the former Western alliance.

Russia may soon control France and break up the EU thanks to Russian influence operations via social media. It would be far worse than Brexit.

If you could distil populism to its essence, Le Pen and Farage's attempts to play the Trumpian martyr is it

Day 2346 of #Brexit: ‘Cross-Channel ferry passengers and the port of Dover face “utter chaos and miles of tailbacks” under the EU’s entry/exit system (EES) unless the technology is fixed or checks suspended by next week, MPs have warned.’ www.theguardian.com/business/202...

No you wouldn’t. We lived in the South of France for a while when we finished work. It was magical. Unfortunately, we had to come back for family and now Brexit has messed it up.

Le Brexit, quel bilan ? - Une perte de niveau de vie estimée de 2% à 5% - Une observation rigolote : la croissance cumulée du PIB au Royaume-Uni, depuis 2016, a été... la même qu'en France. Et elle a été le double de celle du "modèle allemand". 👏👏👏 @touteleurope www.touteleurope.eu/l-ue-dans-le...

It wasn't true of course, we could have had BLUE PASSPORTS any time we wanted. The burgundy passports were encouraged but not mandatory. Croatia, in the EU, has blue passports

The weekend before the Brexit disaster I travelled from France to the UK with two people who were intent on voting to leave the EU. Over the 10 following years I've made the same trip with the same guys nearly every year. First few years they were proud of Brexit. Now they go silent about it.

I moved to the UK (London) in 1992, specifically for work (I was born here but grew up and lived in France). It was worse than France, but France wanted me on disability (at 27) w/out retraining. It improved from 97, stagnated after the Iraq war, and declined from 2012 indeed. Brexit locked me here
