We are where we are - look back - Johnson,Truss. Look forward - who else is there?? Time for a pragmatic approach to our predicament rather than ideology that has so badly failed us in the past.

(In all seriousness, although her politics aren't mine, Reeves is at least a politician of some substance, unless most of the useless paperweights on the frontbench.)

Do I want musicians and artists to benefit from free movement? Yes. But not as an isolated case. I want it for all of us…not as an exceptionalist deal but as part of the European family. Do better @europeanmovement.co.uk

We did this with Brexit. And now our media and politics are bigging up Farage/Reform as potential govt material. Trump Mark 2 is swiftly tipping America into the bin. Let’s not do that here.

@snellarthur.bsky.social makes the case for Trump being a Russian asset…not in the sense of being a spy, but in the sense of being beholden to Russia financially and being drawn to the glitter and bad values of Putin. arthursnell.substack.com/p/krasnov-re...

They discuss WHY Trump would stick to his pro Putin line which is unpopular with the House, the Senate and the majority of the American people. Even today Trump wangs on about what PUTIN says about his threats but says zero about America’s response. It’s so obviously weak.
