2026 is going to be a very rough year for Europe.

This is such a scary, dangerous moment. The President of the United States is, and always has been, on Putin’s side. Which means as long as he’s in the White House, the United States is NOT on Ukraine’s side and is NOT on the side of the free world. Our European allies must understand this. Quickly.

Julie K. Brown is a reporter for the Miami Herald who did groundbreaking work on Epstein beginning in 2018, including groundbreaking work on the disgusting coverup by Alex Acosta.
Her travel itinerary was released with some of the Epstein files. It appears the DOJ was monitoring her in 2019.

If Palantir was a decent company run by a fine person, I'd still want it kept away from the NHS because it's American and we can't outsource anything that important to a country that feckless.
But it's Palantir. And it's Peter Thiel. *And* it's American. So WTF, Starmer? Kill this idea already.

So pretty obviously showing the message - don't buy American.

No sensible person should use an AI summary to make a determination about anything. But sensible people use Google and are presented with lies as the top results. So.

People who think evil, corrupt, and incompetent don’t go together have it backwards.
Instead of looking to Hollywood to explain real world evil, look to Hannah Arendt. Uncorrupt people of integrity won’t do evil. And evil leaders work to elevate incompetents because that helps ensure their loyalty.

What makes you think foreign workers would trust the UK if it spent all it's time faffing around turning the big dial? Why would any skilled worker move to the UK with no guarantee that the UK won't change it's mind 12 months later?
Tightening visa requirements *will* impact negatively on specific sectors, curbing economic growth and pushing up the costs of labour. But if the problems are severe, the Government can (and I'm sure will) step in to relax the rules as needed. Eg as happened just last week with the prison service.
