Romania is gifted. It has tripled productivity over the past two decades and has some remarkable strengths: technical talent, energy resources & more.
If Europe were a family, Romania and Poland would be two of its most dynamic members. These countries deserve more attention, says @Mariekeconomie.
It is very unseemly to watch European leaders taunting each other about who brown nosed Trump harder and who is about to be in favour with the new powers of the Metropole. Says a lot about the world order.
They must have been completely absorbed by the latest Substack explaining that concerns about crime are a fake far right narrative

Thank you to @pressgazette for standing up for investigative journalism and press freedom after it received more than 500 complaints regarding my nomination for this year's British Journalism Awards pressgazette.co.uk/news/awar…
My website reporter.london (@london_reporter) has come such a long way from creation in 2022 that we are getting cold pitches to pay freelance HR busybodies to write us an "equity, diversity and inclusion" strategy.
Keep them coming, boys!
With such a susceptible elite and political class in London it would simply be unprofessional of foreign governments not to try to juice money from Great Britain as “reparations”.
On top of this, in the UK, foreign students who take out a loan to cover their tuition have the option to default without consequence and the British taxpayer will cover the loss by jacking up interest rates on the loans of British-based students who have nowhere to run.
Students in EU countries and the United Kingdom could pay lower university tuition fees when studying on either side of the Channel, according to a draft summit declaration seen by Rapporteur.

Apropos of nothing - this is an eternal struggle in the media but do people think that a Eurosceptic newspaper makes its readers Eurosceptic, or is it the case that a Eurosceptic public makes their newspapers Eurosceptic?
Liam Halligan has announced that The Telegraph is scrapping his Economic Agenda column, which he wrote for more than 20 years, and the Planet Normal podcast, which he co-hosts with Allison Pearson, amid up to 100 staff cuts by the publisher nitter.cf/LiamHalligan/status/21…
Nothing beats a good straightforward bank run. It’s the elite of (geo)political-financial geekery. Stick it in my veins
On the collapse of the regime Alta Bank in Serbia: mass withdrawals began on Tuesday, with individuals and companies moving millions of euros out of the state's reach. By Friday, staff had received their salaries early and were instructed to transfer them to accounts at legitimate banks. The bank was effectively telling its own people to get their money out, while the Central Bank and other supervisory institutions sat back and did nothing until the process was complete. Everyone involved in this chain should be prosecuted, this is robbery.

The actual dictionary definition of riding the tiger. We live in prophetic times, in the sense that prophets of the past have warned us and we did it anyway
The German extreme Left and Right are terrified of their own supporters who propel them in elections: Hamas fans + Arab mobsters and Nazi sympathisers.
Leaked @Alice_Weidel mails & @ElifEralpBerlin comments bring amazing transparency about their anxiety towards people who help them win elections.
Weidel says she cld “puke” bc of her far-Right allies; Eralp is afraid for herself and her family at a mere mention of “organised crime” and “Hamas” who helped her win the Berlin elections.
