THE EUROVISION final kicks off on Saturday night - and the UK is in with a real chance of winning. In recent years our entries haven’t had as much promise as Sam Ryder, who is second favourite to win the contest this weekend in Turin, Italy according to bookies. Ukraine’s Kalush Orchestra are favourites to win Eurovision with their rousingly defiant tune Stefania. But Sam’s track Spaceman has drawn comparisons to Elton John and was written by Grammy-winning songwriter Amy Wadge . It’s a far cry from last year’s James Newman, who finished with an embarrassing nul points after waiting two years to get on stage.

Never let a good opportunity to bash Britain go to waste: that, it would seem, remains the EU’s guiding foreign policy principle. In a staggeringly ill-timed act of revanchism from apparatchiks still seething from the humiliation meted upon them in 2016, Brussels is about to force Britain to tear up the Northern Ireland Protocol , potentially triggering a vicious trade war and, in extremis, a complete breakdown in diplomatic relations. Why such self-destructive stupidity, such demented short-termism, at a time when the war in Ukraine, rampant inflation and the global economic calamity ought to be the only priority? Emmanuel Macron’s latest European vision, which includes a provision for Britain to join a new EU-lite outer circle, provides us with a helpful clue. It sometimes feels as if the French president, his Napoleonesque delusions reawakened by his election victory , harks back to the days of the Expédition d’Irlande, when revolutionary France sent 12,000 troops to the aid … [Read more...] about Brexit Britain can defeat the EU’s vicious attempt at trade war blackmail
