In the face of Trump’s threats, Britain’s best path is clearer than ever: hurry back to Europe | Stella Creasy
www.theguardian.com
Labour must urgently seek new roles and alliances, while also enhancing the UK’s own military capabilities, says Stella Creasy, MP and chair of the Labour Movement for Europe

Regarding defence:

The conclusion is inescapable: now is the time for the UK to reinforce, not wreck Europe’s security relationships, both through the European pillar of Nato and through cooperation with the EU. That means developing its own military capabilities as the US pulls back, as well as exploring a UK role in potential decision-making bodies such as a European security council.

Regarding the economy:

Labour should be open to renegotiating all barriers to cooperation – including integration with the single market in a Swiss-style deal.

Thoughts?

    While true russia is a coping mechanism, and excuse so the establishment doesn’t have to take responsibility for running doomed to fail candidates, it’s also true Russia is sponsoring the far right, many outright fascists, across the west. To take their counties by elections, and then fix themselves in power. That has been clear for some time, since Russia started loaning money to the national front in france really, well before 2016.

    It is a conspiracy to say Russia is allied to the US administration and far right challengers poised to take europe like dominoes just not a false one.
