That Liverpool performance sums up their season. Even in the tough games they find a way to get by. Alisson incredible.

Definitely, but I believe the EU can play a role in these changes from a federal level too. And on keeping an eye on the electorate – I think it is this (among other things) that has led to the rise of the far-right in much of Europe and the world. The traditional left/SDP/Labour parties have all moved to the centre to try to win back the electorate. This has led to nothing/very little changing for the good. When the economy is bad and people are struggling, populist movements thrive hence the far right rise. Rather than worrying about losing the middle ground, centre-left parties need to go back to the left, promise more. Ultimately people want to see more money in their pockets, own homes and have access to high-quality public services – continuing to promise “growth” and a stable option won’t do anything. Labour Party in the UK is the perfect example of this. Centrist lack of improvement = Reform party popularity

I think they can – this isn’t just about affording it or spending. There are a lot of ways in which the EU can divert course from the US. Rather than focusing solely on the growth of the economy and particularly tech sectors it could shift its efforts into reducing wealth inequality and making changes which centre around improving living standards: redistribute some wealth, make taxation proportionally fair, continue to enforce regulation on big companies – encouraging small businesses. They could take a really strong green approach, lead the world in that. There are a lot of ways they can lead. And yes the UK is not in the EU – as someone living here we have our own problems to deal with

It’s not so much discounting stupidity – the guy is undoubtedly an idiot. But yeah just feels like there must be something about it that bandits Trump and his buddies. Because it’s not even going to force people to buy American.

Trying to get a read on the Trump tariffs – what is the play? I don’t believe he is stupid enough/would be let do this without some nefarious ulterior motive. Any ideas?
