Unionists in Northern Ireland, led by the Democratic Unionist Party (DUP), are attempting to block new EU chemical labeling regulations using the Stormont Brake mechanism. This marks the first use of this oversight tool since Brexit, highlighting concerns over potential trade barriers between Great Britain and Northern Ireland.

DUP leader Gavin Robinson argues that the new EU law would render many existing product labels unusable and create friction in trade valued at £1 billion annually. The UK Government will assess the proposed changes and may negotiate with the EU to resolve the issues.

Breitbart: Blue State Blues: On Finishing the Talmud, 72 Volumes and 7 Years Later
Blue State Blues: On Finishing the Talmud, 72 Volumes and 7 Years Later
After seven years of daily study, I completed the Talmud, a central text of Jewish law. The Babylonian Talmud, more widely studied, and the Jerusalem Talmud were both compiled around 1500 years ago, documenting interpretations of the Torah believed to be given to Moses.

My journey began in a liberal Jewish school, continued through various life experiences, and ultimately led me to the Daf Yomi program, which made the monumental task of studying the Talmud more accessible. This experience has provided valuable insights and wisdom, reinforcing the relevance of ancient teachings today.
