I'm neither a citizen of the UK nor the EU, but I've lived and been educated in both. Though I'm an expat American who's called Asia home for many years, I wholeheartedly support Dr. Galsworthy, chair of @europeanmovement.co.uk, in the bid for a stronger, more united Europe. Time is of the essence

Elon Musk posted these two tweets the same day, just hours apart. Don’t sugarcoat it — he’s not just a far-right authoritarian, he’s an outright fascist. Musk isn’t even trying to hide his true intentions at this point. STOP MAKING EXCUSES FOR HIM.

⚖️If tomorrow's High Court ruling goes against Thames Water, and they are placed in special administration, then it's a pivotal moment for public ownership. 💧But it should just be the start. 🌊Water - ALL OF IT - should be in public hands, not just Thames Water.
