Bewildered, but not politically homeless, @sdphq...@DontDivideUSNow... If we all thought the same, we wouldn't need to vote....(Me, myself, I).

#coffeebreak viewing. Interesting and influential Bruges speech from Maggie T on the European partnership. To be fair, this was how I envisaged and wanted the EEC/EU to become/remain. #FBPE #brexitdebate @ConorBurnsUK

Germany has been in industrial free fall since the 2022 energy shock, with total industry, construction and production excluding energy all remaining below the 2021 baseline.

As Germany is Europe’s largest economy and the EU’s biggest import market, its industrial crisis is not only a German problem.

When German industry weakens, demand, supply chains and growth across the whole European economy weaken with it.

Berlin now needs a serious pro-growth agenda.

Germany has the fiscal space to act. Its debt ratio is still low compared with other major economies, and it can afford to use public spending to rebuild growth.

@Telegraph @elliehotpig Employers taking up incentives to recruit from abroad, should be obliged to recruit a trainee from the UK (also incentives) at the same time.
Overseas recruiting should be seen as a last resort, not first choice.

@paulmasonnews @annettedittert Social media is being used as a tool for near anarchy. Extreme Left, right, religious nationalism, and even school children running riots through town centres and beaches.
You can't just pick on the far-right.

@51TJK Going alone? What picture are you trying to paint? Global trade and innovation is what we do best. You forget the EU is not one entity. It is made up of members states who are our trade competitors in or out of the EU project.

New UNHCR data shows a sharp drop in sea arrivals in Italy this year, with irregular migration falling by more than half compared to 2025. Fewer people are reaching Italian ports across the Central Mediterranean route. (1/3👇🏾)

@RichardGCorbett Extremists, left, right, and religious have no place here.
Polarising the debate forces the moderate frustrated majority with concerns, to choose sides.

The energy at London Tech Week today was incredible, and the businesses I spoke to made it clear that Britain is the place to start and scale a tech company.

These are the people with the ideas and innovations that are driving the UK forward.

Last week, the EU reached a deal to set up "return hubs" in third countries for people whose asylum claims have been denied.

How would these hubs work, and what does the deal mean for migrants?

Check out our explainer👇🏾

@BBCNews The UK must not drop out of its own coalition for the next generation fighter, either.
Nor allow Germany or France to come in with this project without ensuring the original coalition retains the design and does not transfer production.

@caro_cour25 @InfoMigrants 'Irregular migration' (no documents) is a term originating from the UN. Used also by the EU and the ECHR. You are referring to the channel crossing migrants this term applies. As with the EU, who are moving asylum seekers to external hubs, not all asylum seekers are genuine.

@GBNEWS Innovation has been the bedrock of the UK from the industrial revolution going forward.
Like during wartime, a can do attitude saved us and advanced new technolgy in an insane short space of time.
Have politicians the will to push this?

‘Innovation is in this country's DNA.’

Prime Minister Keir Starmer says Britain is ahead in global talent, and that the government must match it with ‘scale of ambition’, keeping the UK as the home of research and development.

@LBC No reason why there needs to be only a 007? Fleming's books need to honoured, but the franchise can as broad as necessary.

Always get up early this day to remember this man. Bing would be married now, be a father, experience the love of his children. The years only elevate his sacrifice.

Too tall to fit in the back of the truck, I cradled him as his life ebbed away that morning. Always consistent, always brave, deeply courageous yet humble and kind. I’ll never forget him, and neither should the Nation. #neverforget

@caro_cour25 @InfoMigrants 🙂 Why would I say that? Where are you going with this?

[Michael 🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 SDP @Notablogger16]

@caro_cour25 @InfoMigrants Irregular migrants have already put their lives on the line to get across to Europe. Arguably, safer to stay put in the richest and safest community in the world.
Uninvited economic migration is different from invited genuine refugees.

[Michael 🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 SDP @Notablogger16]

@caro_cour25 @InfoMigrants Of course it will be a 'problem'. The irregular migrants don't just appear on the French coast. They have paid theirs or someone else's money to the gangs to get to Europe.

[InfoMigrants @InfoMigrants]

A new draft law in Greece would allow migrant minors to be held in detention camps.

The Greek Council for Refugees has strongly criticized the proposal.
