The recent NBER report suggests the Treasury’s 2016 analysis – slammed by Brexiters as a ‘hoax’– actually understated the impact of Brexit.

Canada has officially joined the EU’s €150 billion SAFE defense procurement program, the first non-EU country to do so. The agreement allows Canadian firms to participate in EU-financed defense projects. Fifteen EU members have included Ukraine support in their spending plans under SAFE.

Good discussion today with President Zelenskyy who was together with President Macron and European leaders.
We remain united behind a peace agreement that does justice to Ukraine.
One that fully upholds Ukraine’s sovereignty and ensures the necessary security guarantees.

Keir Starmer clearly recognises the damage Brexit continues to do to the UK economy, and the need to go further to repair the relationship with the EU.
Has he got the courage to put McSweeney and Glasman aside and do what needs to be done?

When they describe Trump as "transactional" they really mean he's building a world fit only for autocrats and oligarchs.

The answer is a firm "No".
As experts, including those consulted for this article, explain, the impact of this plan to support Ukraine on bond markets would be minimal.

EU plans to use frozen Russian assets to help Ukraine have prompted warnings that the move could push up government borrowing costs. But experts told Euronews Business that any impact on European debt markets is likely to be limited.

If Europe fails Ukraine, and Russia wins (with something like the Witkoff-Dmitriev proposal), European democracies will have to spend much more on defence in future to deter an aggressive Russia.
