IT'S MONDAY, AND THIS IS DIGITAL POLITICS. I'm Mark Scott, and have partnered with YouGov and Microsoft for a dinner in Brussels on Dec 10 to recap the digital policymaking highlights of 2025 and to look ahead to what is in store for next year.

If you would like to attend, please let me know here. The event will include exclusive insight from YouGov on Europeans' attitudes toward technology. Spaces are limited, so let me know asap.
