On this day in history 1967. Incredible archive photo of the young Nicola Sturgeon, relaxing with his dog “Blondi”.

A new report,by Labour-aligned think tank BSASAP, shows that rejoining Germany and France in the EU could boost UK GDP by up to 78% by 2027.

Tonight, as an act of solidarity with Emmanuel Macron, I am declaring a curfew in Twee Valley: looters will be understood, rioters will be asked to share their pronouns.

Fun fact - top economist Jen Doodah is RS Archer’s researcher. Or vice versa.

Andy should offer to pay for the rebuilding of French cities as a clear sign that Europe can trust Britain again after the Johnson clown show. No ifs and buts. A gesture of european solidarity.

The cruel personal attacks on Macron just for taking his old mum to the Celine Dion concert on Friday night, are grossly unfair.

RS Archer is reporting that the supposed riots in France are a massive Russian-psyops hoax. The protests were mostly peaceful.

“There is still hope for Europe when young intellectuals of all genders can make common cause with sub-Saharan crime gangs, linked to Iranian proxies”: J-J Rousseau.

Some good news this morning - Andy’s EU Youth Mobility deal will give our friends and neighbours in France and Belgium the right to live, learn and love in the UK once again.

Andy should make a clear statement that if France let us back into the EU this week, we will pledge to help fund the improvements to F state education demanded by the protestors.

EU High Representative meets UK Low Representative - Tweenie Timm MP.

The EU is the biggest country in Europe. The Russian funded gammons don’t seem to have read the Guardian.

As well as the trade and defence benefits of EU membership, not enough gammons take account of all the agreeable sinecures, nice committee jobs and fact-finding visits available to members.

As a left wing intellectual, I’m very data driven, and I use AI tools to collect data that reinforces my life-long opinions, and prior conceptions.

Andy’s plan is to unite the extreme centre by offering policies that will appeal to pro Iranian fanatics, vulnerable benefit claimants and Waitrose twees. The Right is doomed.

Emily Thornberry is not only one of Labour’s biggest thinkers, but came to politics after decades as a successful actress - famously on TV’s “Are You Being Served”.
