Says it all - the lunacy of Brexit and disrupting trade with all its predictable dire consequences 😫 📉

It was a delight to do the terrific Empire podcast with the splendid William Dalrymple and Anita Anand podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/i...

Yesterday Mark Carney was told, “Mr Carney, there’s a genocide in Palestine”. “I’m aware,” Carney told the protester, “That’s why we have an arms embargo.” This has really, really upset Benjamin Netanyahu, so don't RT unless you hate him.

If you’re all set for a lovely Friday evening and don’t want to feel full of rage and fury, don’t read this post 👇

Off the phone with Chris Luxon. The EU–New Zealand partnership is growing stronger as we near the 1st anniversary of our free trade agreement in May. Clear, predictable trading conditions are key. I look forward to deepening ties with New Zealand and the wider region. → europa.eu/!PpHpgN

👏 @GordonBrown is absolutely right! Trump’s tariffs are a global threat — the answer? Rebuild ties with Europe, go beyond just fixing Brexit trade barriers. 1/2 www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

This did not age well. . . .

I’ll be discussing the Trump administration’s fascistic detention of students for their anti-Israel speech, as well as the escalation of US-backed violence in Gaza & the West Bank, & taking your questions, on Zeteo’s YouTube channel, live from 12pm ET. www.youtube.com/live/VmApssr...

@mrjamesob.bsky.social This will blow your mind! I guess in one way we’re not surprised, but seeing it in black and white….(excuse the pun!)….but WOW!😮 #humanrights #justice

“Brexit is the biggest disaster I’ve experienced in my whole lifetime and business career.” #RejoinEU 🇬🇧🇪🇺

So this was a campaign promise not an observation.

Sirens blaring in Kyiv. Thanks Trump - by removing intel & hardware, Putin is now sending drones to kill civilians every night in the capital. 🤬

Noticed that Brexit, (the UK’s self-harming departure from the EU), looks a lot like US behaviour now? Picking fights with your biggest and nearest trading partners, insulting your neighbours? Both influenced by Russia, it makes Brexit look like part 1 and Trump part 2 of a perfect Russian plot.

youtu.be/unSSHfIs3U0?... Watch this earth shattering speech! It may well be the most powerful speech you ever hear in your life. It is in mine. (I can’t get close to Europe soon enough. I have missed them literally every day since we were severed from them)

Possibly the best clap back against ignorant antivaxxers.

As Badenoch, Farage and others seem to have forgotten - we already had a national inquiry in child sexual exploitation. It reported in Feb 2022. The Tory Govt responded in July 2022. When Badenoch was a minister. www.gov.uk/government/p...

So let me get this right, Tommy Robinson, defender of white girls and the nemesis of child rapists, yesterday accepted a $30,000 donation off Tristan Tate, a man accused of human trafficking and raping minors…. And then publicly thanked him.

nobody does more brutal fashion reviews than the irish

Now watched all of BBC's immigration doc (sadly I don't feature in part 2..). Central argument appears to be that Cameron, Farage, A. Green/Migration Watch & Johnson did more (via Brexit) to increase migration than Tony Blair/I ever did.. www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/epis...

This is a good watch from at @mrjamesob.bsky.social for those wanting to know how they got there and what it all might mean youtu.be/98UXkL2-Ugs?...
