#Spain remains one of #Europe’s primary gateways for migrants hoping to build better lives, and the country has come under sustained pressure from #EuropeanUnion partners to stem irregular arrivals.

Starmer's failure to tell the truth about the Brexit disaster, and his determination to stick with a failed status quo have made him the most unpopular PM since records began. Piece from me on the crying need for this government to finally level with the public. substacktools.com/sharex/fsJgK...

Fair point. EU may need to become more streamlined and nimble before being able to proceed and grow bigger. @paulschmidt.bsky.social #FutureOfEurope

Imagine cycling from your hotel to a historic site, hopping on an electric bus to a museum and strolling to dinner. That’s a blueprint for sustainable tourism.
