And now, the reality:

- Cambodia and Thailand: it was a border conflict that ended thanks to mediation by Malaysia. All Trump did was a phone call threatening tariffs.

- Kosovo and Serbia: there was no war

- DRC and Rwanda: war did not end, violence continues 1/2

Europeans paid €930bn extra due to energy dependency, report finds

Between 2021 and 2024, Europe’s fossil fuel imports cost €1.8 trillion, up €930bn due to price spikes, a new report has found. Heavy reliance on a few suppliers has exposed the EU to risks, prompting experts to call for widespread electrification to foster energy autonomy.

Something else that has never happened before in American history, as the Trump admin continues to piss on the Bill of Rights while Republicans in Congress continue to remain silent. Another thing to protest on Saturday.

"68% of Britons would now accept a return to free movement across borders in exchange for regaining access to the EU's single market. Among those who voted to Leave in 2016, the margin for Returning stands at 54-35%. Even 44% of Reform Party voters are in favour of it."

Quality article by @andrewduffeu.bsky.social on a royal commission on Brexit.

Essentially there are two chapters to this.

The first is addressing the effect of Brexit on the UK.

The major issue is the lack of an established truth that Brexit was a mistake in public and across WM.

Don't believe the doubters who say the EU wouldn't want us back.
Not that the process would be easy or quick, but rejoining is a very real option that both sides would welcome & hugely benefit from.

Brexit Bin 🇪🇺 🇬🇧 🇩🇪 @brexitbin.bsky.social · 4d

In case you missed it ...
Barnier has said many times over the years that the door is always open for us to rejoin the EU. We'd lose the rebate we used to have, of course. But anything would be better than continuing our isolation and decline with Brexit.
