The British people have a long and proud history of smashing blackshirt goose-steppers. This is what happened in 1936. 👊

Ancient Rome put a tax on wee. The emperor’s answer to the moaning is still a saying today.

A billionaire who lives in another country (Monaco) to pay less tax is complaining about immigration. You genuinely can’t make this shit up 😭😭😭
Sir Jim Ratcliffe says he has lost confidence in the UK, describing the country as "on the slide". "Nobody's tough enough to deal with the immigration problem. Nobody's tough enough to deal with the benefits problem. But somebody needs to do it." [BBC]

Bienvenue à Saint-Pierre-et-Miquelon, cher voisin @MarkJCarney ! Moment historique. Première visite officielle d’un Premier ministre canadien sur cette terre française d’Amérique du Nord. Dans un monde en crise, notre amitié est une force. Nous affirmons ensemble notre souveraineté, notre liberté de décider et notre volonté de bâtir un avenir de paix et de prospérité.

Say hello to the Part-Time “Patriot”. He hates the lifeboats. The lifeboats will still come and get him.

New PISA data out England is now top ten in all three areas (reading, maths, science) and the second highest performing country outside of east Asia (after Estonia). This is a huge public policy success.

Europe can choose to become a mosaic of competing nationalisms again — or finally become a true political community capable of acting. The far right wants a Europe of nations, divided by borders, rivalries and competing interests.

According to You Gov, 73% of the British public consider Nigel Farage either very or fairly sleazy. The other 27% presumably have been living in a cave for the last few years.

Mistral just became Europe's tech company with the largest fundraising round ever. €3 billion investment. €21 billion valuation. This investment was lead by Samsung, which Mistral states is at the forefront of advanced manufacturing, engineering and industrial technology. This could potentially mean that Mistral's ambition to produce its own AI chips could be done via Samsung. ASML also continues to invest in Mistral, showing confidence in the company.

You are one walk away from a better day.
I’m a big believer in the magic of taking walks. Walks make everything better.
