It’s one damned thing after another. As Keir Starmer is discovering, government, like life, can feel like a fusillade of events, each coming faster than the one before. If it’s not a cabinet minister resigning over a past fraud conviction, it’s MPs voting for assisted dying – and that’s just in one day. Through that blizzard of news, it can be hard to make out the lasting changes in the landscape – even those that have profound implications for our place in the world.

I pray EU leaders realize the world needs a strong Europe. At the very least their existence as they know it needs a strong Europe.

She formed a new Commission following the European elections, a big chunk of it is conservative and right wing politicians: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Von_der_Leyen_Commission_II
