The EU never gets praise even when it acts. There is so much constant EU negging that commentators struggle to praise when it delivers. The EU did what it needed to do. Take the win.

SUPERB and angrily unvarnished response, by former BBC chairman, Lord Patten.
"I don't think that we should allow ourselves to be bullied into thinking that the BBC is only any good, if it reflects the prejudice of the last person who shouted at it." ~AA
It's quite wrong to suggest Robert Jenrick is a racist. Racists believe in something. My SKETCH.
"The day had begun with Robert Jenrick accused of racism. This is of course quite unfair. Racists believe in something." Absolutely fantastic sketch by @roberthutton.co.uk. Every line is a banger:
The ITV exposé on COVID now turns its sights on testing. I was stunned in 2020 when Sir Paul Nurse - Director of the Francis Crick Institute - told me he’d written to the government to offer the services of the Crick (the biggest biomeolecular lab in the country) - and never got a reply…

🚨How Britain privatised itself into failure.🚨
Britain outsourced its state – now private firms profit while public services crumble.
In 'Failed State', Sam Freedman explains what went wrong.
Sorry to burden you with another jaw-dropping scandal. But what the government intends to do to chemicals regulation in the UK is chilling. Its consultation was slipped out so quietly that most of us missed it. When I read it, I saw why.
This week's column:

Hey, UK media!
Are you just going to let Farage dump another steaming pile of populist bullshit on us *without ever* properly scrutinising his ideas or him…his funding, his riots, his links to Putin and Trump, his Brexit shitshow, his grifting side gigs, his lies, his ignorance…?
Call. Him. TF. Out.
There is a lot of deflection taking place by politicians this morning, suggesting that the court kept the superinjunction in place and that had to be overcome.
That's not true or not complete- the government kept it in place by repeatedly applying for its renewal.
Rachel Reeves says the UK is open for business with the US, EU and India deals:
But we only get £22 billion:
- £3.4 billion from UK-US tariff deal
- £14 billion from UK-EU reset
- £4.8 billion from UK-India
Rejoining the EU Single Market would give us £140 billion
First past the post is bad enough, ‘safe seats’ like Tatton are an insult to democracy but this practice of jumping ship after you’ve been voted in, is pure pisstaking. If you defect, your seat should be up for grabs. Voters deserve better than this. Even in rock solid Tory Tatton.
Oh dear 🤦♀️
If the only way you'll ever hear someone call out Nigel Farage's destructive, divisive politics on the BBC is for me to do it, then so be it.

New post: Everyone knows Labour has made mistakes. What is more worrying is why those mistakes were made.
mainlymacro.blogspot.com/2025/07/ever...
If Labour thinks that an Osborne sized state is sustainable, and that the way to defeat Farage is to repeat his rhetoric, it will continue to fail.
But will anyone listen?🥺The BBC consistently provide a platform for ReformUK. Other MSM do likewise thus making them acceptable. If only they would examine their utterances & make them totally accountable in the way they do the Lib Dem’s & Greens!☹️
I don't care if they win the next election or not, there is no way i'm letting this cabal of lowest-common-denominator baiting racist troglodytes collect my personal data.
Ok, British media. You have here all the information you need to scrutinise Farage/Reform’s latest populist, headline-grabbing tosh.
If you’re still handing out free ‘Robin Hood’ passes to them now we have the details, then you are actively deceiving voters and undermining democracy.
Just don’t.
🚨🚨 Whilst the EU-UK deal was a clear improvement and win for Starmer, we should not forget that it does not change the major premises of relationship which is enshrined in the TCA and that #brexit still is a long and dragging beast of misery and pain. 🧵
