The state’s wealth fund has committed €50 million to a new fund that will provide loans to growing entrepreneur-led and family-owned businesses in Ireland businesspost.ie/article/e50m-f…

#EU to hit #US with 25% counter #tariffs. Sooner = better. In parallel we need to increase the proportion of our trade with all the other major economies like #China, #Japan, #India #UK, #Canada, #Brazil etc. It's a big world with many players youtube.com/watch?v=lSVaVw…

As I've said for many years #Hungary has been a thorn in the #EU's side and should be removed as long as the current regime exists. This corrupt individual along with his master Orbán Viktor align with #Putin & #Trump. The regime doesn't share the EU's values. An enemy within!

What a time to be thinking about the world! MAGA fought the Market and the Market won...but what about MAGA versus Europe? Here are my latest thoughts in TIME Hope you find this helpful. Now what next and its not even 9am?? time.com/7275834/trump-…

The #EU's values are different to #China's current regime & we differ significantly on #Ukraine & #Russia & many crucial issues. But 龙的传人 teaches the world a lesson on how to control #Trump. #USTreasuries & #USD tanking. #USA's best hope = impeach him theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

.J.K. Rowling uses the same language as #MAGA. The '#left' = meaningless word when used universally - it means something different in different cultures. 'Dumber than house bricks' = typical Muskesque ad hominem insulting ('dumber than a sack of bricks'). How far she has fallen.

Well done to the #EU! #Apple & #Meta deserve to be fined for unfair practices - Tim Cook and especially #Zuckerberg can pay homage to their #liege #Trump as much as they like, but the #EuropeanUnion will not compromise its values so easily. #Facebook theguardian.com/business/2025/…

International students know what country not to study in. #US #students #researchers will get a better education, a far better deal, and democratic freedom of expression in the EU. If you're clever, hard-working, have good values, apply to #EU universities youtube.com/watch?v=24fFS3…

The #EU will attract many cutting edge US academics. In #OperationPaperclip >1600 German scientists, engineers, and technicians migrated from #Nazi #Germany to work for the #US. Now they will flee an extreme right US regime and escape to the #EuropeanUnion theguardian.com/education/2025…

Empty words of a #weakling and a #traitor who has facilitated #Russia bombing #Ukraine's capital by switching off #Ukraine's access to Maxar satellite imagery and agreeing not to oppose #Putin. The #US has sided with Russia and serially threatened the #EU, #Canada, #Mexico etc.

RIP brave Viktoriia Roshchyna. Illegally imprisoned, tortured, killed, dismembered by savages in #Russia's Taganrog prison. The EU supports #Ukraine & condemn's #Putin & friends #Trump+#KimJongUn. Others like #Erdogan+#Fico should be removed from the #EU theguardian.com/world/2025/apr…

"They should be ashamed of their silence." This is not a bunch of student protestors. This is the editorial board of the Financial Times.

Mary Meeker and the Bond team have released their latest 300+ page annual report, this time all on AI It's very good but long, so I've summarized the Top 10 Points for B2B and enterprise founders here:

Embracing schadenfreude. #Musk making a fool of himself. Puts this #Ozymandias back in power, destroys his brand with heartless inefficient sackings ... now tries to reverse #Trump's corrupt bill - a consequence of his dumb king-making. #KetamineMan helped created this disaster.

Note. #KetamineMan openly admits it's ok to subvert democracy by using money and control over a an instrument of #propaganda for the extreme-right (#twitter). #Musk implies that he deserves to be rewarded with having an unelected say in policy as a result of successful subversion

A word about what’s going on in Los Angeles:

Not a primary reason why Spain balked at an increase to spending 5% of #GDP on its military (it actually needs to spend at least that) but the stupidy of Donald J. Trump in thinking #España was in #BRICS & the incompetent comms by Pete Hegseth didn't help youtube.com/watch?v=DAQlMX…
