I’ve said this a hundred times, but the Star (of Liz Truss lettuce fame), or at least its front covers, is the best tabloid in Britain and the only one that comes close to matching the mad wit of the Sun in the 1980s. Yes, they’ve done the gimp mask, but balanced with Boris the clown stage front. RE:

In some ways I’m quite looking forward to seeing the howler monkeys screeching out ever more demented violent sexual imagery at every minor decision to align the UK and EU economies. They’ve gone in pretty high with the gimp stuff. How do they escalate from here? https://amanita.us-east.host.bsky.network/xrpc/com.atproto.sync.getBlob?did=did:plc:mymiyz3x72kdfeb5nfmrk5my&cid=bafkreiefyyss3yhlrlgzoqybsylt5mcbo3vgwchjaz2h3jj7sgtapvnmra https://amanita.us-east.host.bsky.network/xrpc/com.atproto.sync.getBlob?did=did:plc:mymiyz3x72kdfeb5nfmrk5my&cid=bafkreih4jwsy7fhuljlvdlp6bto3zympi2j7gqkalzvpkmji2c2wpaxe4q
I know it's super-early, don't all jump down my throat, but is there any UK polling out or likely to come out soon on the deal with the EU?
GREAT stat. V small realignment with massive market 22 miles away (0 miles if you count Ireland-NI) beats state-of-the-art agreements™ in the world's most dynamic region™. Distance effect (and other things) FTW. Can we start treating the UK's non-EU trade deals as a bit of a sideshow now? Thx. RE:

I failed to post this last week, but it’s one of the best op-eds you’ll read all year. Two politicians with *wildly* different orientations but a common thread of belief in the nature of citizenship and nationality. (They’re also 100% right obvs.) [on.ft.com/3GS1rPl](
