Vance's Easter visit to Rome clogged its streets with a 40-vehicle entourage. He also demanded the Coliseum be closed so he and his family could tour it alone. Tourists who properly booked slots in advance got screwed. He's apparently the first to make that demand. Then he didn't bother to show up.

We've tried something a little new this week...visualizing @lbc.co.uk's "American Week" so you can watch it as well as listen to it. All feedback gratefully received! www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rd71...

Mark Carney had to deal with a heckler at a campaign stop in Saskatchewan.

NEW Uncovering the secrets of ARIA How an ā€˜advanced’ scientific body was reduced to claiming environmental information was not ā€˜environmental information’ By me, at @prospectmagazine.co.uk www.prospectmagazine.co.uk/ideas/law/th...

"The advanced scientific agency responded that...the information requested ā€œdoes not fall within the scope of ā€œenvironmental informationā€. Few things so ludicrous could have been typed by anyone at any public body, let alone one at a supposedly leading research body."

Not everyone can get out and about to campaign which is why at @hopenothate.org.uk we’ve created a suite of shareable videos, graphics and articles to help you kickstart conversations with your friends and family about how they vote on May 1st hopenothate.org.uk/lets-talk-re...

"Farmers want him to be careful in any trade deal with Donald Trump. They were let down by the Conservatives' appalling trade deals & worried that a bad US deal could see American agribusiness undercut them" Ed Davey raises his concerns over a potential US trade deal at #PMQs.

These are the food standards Nigel Farage wants the UK to match in order to get a Trump trade deal. Chlorinated chicken, hormone beef, untested dairy. Delicious. buff.ly/0TAbVVC

Keep going everyone šŸ‘

Deep alignment between the EU and U.K. could close this hole and deliver GDP growth for both sides. This is worth listening to. Tell him he was right then and to do the right thing now šŸŽ§šŸ‘‡

Britain, a trading nation, now has a vital choice to make about its priority trading partners: - the EU, where agreements are made, kept, reciprocal, based on international norms, & enforced by a court - the USA, where agreements are made, broken, changed & broken again at a whim, with no recourse

Harvard is taking on Trump, who has threatened to cut funding if the university does not meet his demands. Harvard's president has said "No government - regardless of which party is in power - should dictate what private universities can teach" šŸ‘

It’s seven months since i started London Centric and this is a real highlight. getting nominated for the Paul Foot is entirely thanks to the support of subscribers who have given me the freedom to do investigative journalism. Thanks to them for this. And all the people with broken legs.

Security expert @mikeclarke2020s.bsky.social: "This idea that somehow the Ukrainians got themselves invaded is just bizarre. Nobody knew about the coming attack except Putin. He lied to everyone... So what [Zelenskyy] was expected to negotiate about is a mystery known only to President Trump." ~AA

In 2024, Europe was the world’s fastest-warming continent. It had its hottest year on record, impacting an estimated 413,000 people. Sea surface temperatures also reached new highs. As our planet heats up, urgent action is more critical than ever.

The US has blocked G7 statement to condemn Russia for its Palm Sunday missile attack on Sumy, which killed at least 35 and injured 100+, including children. Telling allies it wouldn't sign because it is "working to preserve the space to negotiate peace". Mhm. ~AA www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

It must be infuriating for some in the establishment / the media for a simple explanation of how full alignment with EU standards will deliver 1.5% GDP growth regardless of Trump’s mad tariffs. Nice work @pimlicat.bsky.social & @bestforbritain.bsky.social youtube.com/watch?v=IULJ...

šŸ’„ Our research shows deep alignment with the EU on goods and services could offset the impact of Trump's tariffs on the UK economy. Listen to @pimlicat.bsky.social explain more on @lbc.co.uk šŸ‘‡ www.bestforbritain.org/naomi_smith_...

Update: The House just passed the Republican voter suppression measure that threatens voting access for millions of Americans, including 69 million women whose married names don't match their birth certificates. Make sure your senators know you expect them to stand against it.
