A new youth mobility scheme with the EU would drive economic growth and open up exciting opportunities for young people - offering young Londoners, Brits, and their European counterparts access to an abundance of opportunities.

🚨BULGARIA IN CHAOS AFTER EUROZONE ENTRY: OPPOSITION MP ACCUSES EU RULES OF CAUSING MASSIVE INSURANCE PRICE EXPLOSION — NOW TRANSPORT SECTOR BLOCKS SOFIA IN PROTEST! 🇧🇬⚠️🇪🇺 Simple explanation for people outside Bulgaria: Bulgaria recently joined the eurozone (the group of EU countries that use the euro as currency). The government promised this would bring prosperity and lower prices. Instead, one of the first things that happened is that mandatory car insurance (called “Civil Liability” or “Гражданска отговорност”) has skyrocketed. In just one year (May 2025 – May 2026): • Normal car insurance rose by 15% on average — now around 360 leva (€184) per car. • Motorcycle insurance nearly doubled (+100%) — now 250 leva (€128). • Insurance for trucks, buses and heavy vehicles went up even more. These huge extra costs hit the transport industry hardest. Truckers and bus companies say they can’t absorb it, so they are passing the bill to everyone else — meaning higher prices for bread, milk, fuel and all basic goods in the shops. Today, angry drivers and transport workers are blocking the center of Sofia in protest. In parliament, a Bulgarian opposition MP gave a fiery speech accusing the government and previous pro-EU politicians of this disaster: • They rushed through new Insurance Code changes just to please Brussels and meet eurozone requirements. • The rules benefit big Western European insurance companies. • Bulgarian drivers, businesses and families are left paying the price. • He demands an immediate audit of the insurance market, a real bonus-malus system (discounts for safe drivers), a revision of the law to protect Bulgarians, and a complete stop to any new price hikes.

#WATCH | Delhi: On PM Modi's address to the nation on GST reforms, Yog Guru Baba Ramdev says, "By providing relief in GST, PM Modi has given the country's economy a new impetus. This will help people save money, and the country's economy will reach new heights. This will be an important and effective step towards achieving the Prime Minister's dream of Viksit Bharat by 2047. Whether it's providing relief to taxpayers or reducing the GST on most products, which was previously at 18% or 12%, to 5%, the Prime Minister has ensured, for everyone's well-being, that the people of the country will have money, become prosperous, and thus provide new impetus to the country's economy. He has repeatedly appealed for Swadeshi (indigenous) products. When this spirit of Swadeshi awakens among the people and India moves towards self-reliance, it will surely lead the world..."

#Merz presented two options for Ukraine – one bad and one very bad: “voiceless” EU membership or no membership at all. "My goal is to open up a concrete prospect of joining the European Union for Moldova, Ukraine, and the Western Balkan states right now. We haven't admitted any new members to the EU for 13 years, despite having promised membership to a number of European countries. There are now two options. Either we renege on these promises—and that's impossible. In my view, that would be the worst decision for everyone. Or we acknowledge that the process takes time. It's complex, but we must continue to move forward step by step and take the next step—providing this form of associate membership. It could be called something else, but we're talking about membership in the European Union without voting rights in its institutions, yet with such close integration with the EU that full membership would then be the next logical step."

BREAKING NEWS: The pro-EU government of Bulgaria has just RESIGNED. After a reported 8 MILLION people took to the streets for TWO DAYS straight. Bulgaria was scheduled to join the Eurozone January 1, 2026. That plan is now cancelled. No riots. No civil war. No chaos. Just mass non-compliance. And the government collapsed. This is happening right now. Europe is shifting.
