Am old enough to remember when getting a trade deal with India was a justification for leaving the EU
Europe and India are making history today.
We have concluded the mother of all deals.
We have created a free trade zone of two billion people, with both sides set to benefit.
This is only the beginning.
We will grow our strategic relationship to be even stronger.

The Agreement will give EU companies privileged access to India's services market.
The document must still be ratified by the necessary institutions. This is expected to happen within about a year.
This is a major milestone.

Good. It is a fight worth picking & will briefly distract them from fighting with each other.
British PM Keir Starmer has confirmed his government will cap ground rents at £250 a year. The move will please his backbenchers.
But it sets up Labour for a gunfight with professional landlords and investors.

I now think the prevailing currents have turned quite firmly against Reform in the UK. That plus a bit of an improvement in external circumstances might be quite important for Starmer et al despite their dreadful performance.

If anyone's keeping score: the party currently polling first in the UK is looking at abolishing the NHS. So that's, you know, pretty apocalyptic.

The Washington Post published a clear video of federal agents removing Alex Pretti's handgun moments before he was fatally shot. There's nothing in the video to suggest Pretti even reached for his weapon.

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.
