I keep thinking about what happened at the White House today and I still can’t believe it. Utterly disgusting behaviour by Trump and Vance. It seems surreal that shameful display happened at all. #SlavaUkraini

Keir Starmer statesman-like, consummate diplomat, promoting the UK. Meanwhile Farage and Badenoch stuck in an endless loop of tiny-minded culture wars, running the UK down.

Friedrich Merz is right. America doesn't care about Europe. Atlanticism is dead. Europe needs to grow stronger together and chart its own course. We need to get closer on security and trade.

Farage in the USA? Is Friday not MP surgery day when he's meant to be in his constituency meeting the good folk of Clacton to sort their problems?

I feel for the USA losing TikTok. It was like when Ceefax - a very similar service - closed in the UK. There was hysteria, but with some British stiff upper lip and a big dose of spunk, we prevailed 💂‍♂️ #tiktok

I am off to Morrisons to panic buy some gas…

Pity Farage wasn’t asked about this - he should be forced to own it @bbclaurak.bsky.social @theneweuropean.bsky.social

Sunday morning, 9.30am. Already eaten half a chocolate orange

Looks like the MAGAs and Musk are going to war with each other. This is going to be delicious. Every cloud and all that #usa #trump

Re-watched Dickensian - superb drama from the BBC. The performances by all of the cast are great, but stand-outs for me are Ned Dennehy (Scrooge), Pauline Collins (Mrs Gamp) and Stephen Rea (Inspector Bucket). Watch it - it'll put you in a festive mood 🎄❄️

Anyone that has political power (MP, Lord, Senator etc) should not own a company or shares etc. Anything that could tempt a conflict of interest. Discuss. #parliament #congress

Kwarteng being his usual tone deaf and divisive self on #newsnight - why do they ask him on after what he did to the UK economy?

Netanyahu is a war criminal. He has deliberately bombed innocent civilians and starved people to death. I cannot understand anyone that supports him.

Went onto X for a quick nose. First post I saw was some ghoul using the death of the great John Prescott to make a political point. I don't miss that place at all.

Farmers losing it over inheritance tax. You know what really screwed them? Brexit and greedy retailers.

A reminder. DO NOT MANUALLY GO THROUGH BLOCKLISTS ADDING PEOPLE. Do this instead:

Amazing how quickly you get used to just using Bsky. Not worrying about abuse or a pile-on, seeing 2 accounts reported already suspended. Most refreshing! #bsky

My God, this’ll get the right whingers absolutely raging 🤣 www.chroniclelive.co.uk/news/north-e...
