Replying to @mrianleslie
Glad it's not just me who finds talk of the "UK" very stilted and lanyardian. Normal people say "Britain" and politicians should too, unless there's a very specific Northern Ireland-themed reason.

I sat in on those discussions and France made it impossible and was totally unreasonable. For the record i am a proud EU supporter and a Francophile. You should be ashamed.

Calling this a “backfire” misses the point. France has supported the participation of the UK in SAFE, and it regrets that the negotiation between the UE and the UK did not succeed. SAFE is an EU project designed to strengthen Europe’s defence industrial base and ensure European strategic autonomy. France’s commitment to defence cooperation with the UK remains as strong as ever, as demonstrated every day by the success of our industrial and operational cooperation.

Did you know that until 1998, if a Member of Parliament wanted to make a Point Of Order, they had to wear a top hat. The Speaker would not hear them unless they were wearing the 'talking hat'.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Wearing a hat while sitting down was only required when raising a point of order during a division vote. During ordinary proceedings, an MP would raise a point of order by standing up without a hat. The House kept top hats available just for this tradition. Source (pages 5/8): parliament.uk/globalassets/d…

Europe’s failure to confront Islamism fuels the far right, says leading rabbi | Rapporteur

Terrorism and antisemitic violence mean many Europeans, including many Jews, are “more concerned about their personal security than about freedoms and democracy.”

Bad news for Starmer and Macron. Vance confirms the only US security guarantee in Ukraine will be the mineral deal. He also plays down British & French peacekeeping troops as “20k troops from some random country that hasn’t fought a war in 30 or 40 years”.
