Northern Ireland is 'concerned' that their voice is not sufficiently heard early on in the EU legislative process..

The UK is out of the EU remember? The fact that NI can take part in the Single Market is a privilige granted by EU only because we in EU see the need

New HoL committee report on NI post Brexit. A surprising amount of agreement across a broad spectrum of witnesses that much more could be done to smooth the process of applying EU law in NI. Key recommendations for UKMis (FCDO in Brussels) & the UK Govt:

This interesting report from the HoL on the 'complexity' of the Windsor Framework was published.

In general it is good to study this, and imv the right people have been asked for input.

This post is about one issue I have with one figure from the report (figure 1).

Mike Johnson: "They berated a Capitol police officer, screamed at him. He was merely standing his post. It shows, again, their disdain for law enforcement, the Democrats, screaming, assaulting officers."

Shutdowns are bad. But only Trump and Russ Vought are brave enough to ask: what if shutdowns aren’t painful enough? How can we use this as an opportunity to target our political enemies? 🧵

For those tempted to say Young Republicans have always been this way, they really have not. When I worked on campus and did bipartisan college events after, they were very much not like this.

That’s why groups like YCT and eventually TPUSA formed — because Young Republicans weren’t radical enough.

I hate to think what boys and young men are learning from watching such behavior and how it makes girls and young women. Parents need to teach that this is not acceptable.

Tweet by Marlow Stern (@MarlowNYC) saying: “This is gross,” quote-tweeting Aaron Rupar. The embedded Rupar tweet reads: “Trump ignores a question from a woman reporter but says, ‘I just like to watch her talk. Good job. Thank you darling.’” Below is a photo of Donald Trump seated, speaking at a table with flags behind him, and captioned “Thank you, darling. I don’t know.”
