🇳🇱🇺🇦 The €150M pledged by the Netherlands for Ukraine will go toward purchasing a HAWK air defense battery to strengthen Ukraine’s skies.

I'm not religious, but to add to this, I grew up with white British women wearing head scarves to protect their hairdos. #FuckRacists

In case you missed it ... In 2019, outgoing EU Council President Donald Tusk described Brexit as the true "End of the British Empire". He predicted it would turn the UK into an "outsider, a second-rate player", with China, USA and the EU holding the balance of power. Everything he said came true.

We remember

Pope Francis remarkable letter to US Bishops “I exhort all the faithful of the Catholic Church, and all men and women of good will, not to give in to narratives that discriminate against and cause unnecessary suffering to our migrant and refugee brothers and sisters. www.vatican.va/content/fran...

Good to see that the Liz Truss 'experiment' has not been forgotten...

BBC News, "Egg prices in the US are increasing although a couple of days ago we did hear from the White House who said that wasn't the case"

One billion percent tariffs.

Hope this helps.

Liz Truss says she was the longest continuous serving government minister, ten years on the trot Forgets to mention she was the shortest-serving Prime Minister in UK history, beaten by a lettuce

He has just been given a peerage….

The EU doesn’t really do knee-jerk reactions. And when it comes to trade wars, it prepares its case, builds a consensus among its members — and saves its most painful retaliation until last. 🔗 ow.ly/JmHE50VyJsB

30% of the gas Europeans consume during winter comes from gas reserves. Storing enough gas is key to facing possible supply disruptions or high demand. The Council is working to ensure EU countries have their gas storage facilities 90% full for the coming winters. More 👉 europa.eu/!dp4xPq

it is no longer up for debate: the world order has shifted and the US has become an unashamedly demagogic authoritarian state www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Traditional transport routes between EU and Ukraine remain disrupted due to Russia's war of aggression. Today, we are extending our temporary road transport agreements until 31 December 2025 to strengthen trade links with the EU market. #StandWithUkraine

Maybe time to read up on the international role of the Euro again - here is a great research paper from my colleague @tokarski.bsky.social from last year:

Day 1897 of #Brexit: ‘A number of charities in NI have said they face making layoffs due to problems w/ UK govt funding [under the Shared Prosperity Fund]. The UKSPF replaced the EU’s European Social Fund in March 2023, which came to an end in NI as a result of Brexit.’ www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Forcing people to pay $130 for a passport in order to vote is just a Jim Crow poll tax by another name. It is blatantly unconstitutional.

Our response to the words used by every domestic abuser? 800% tariff effective immediately.

It has been 18 days since we learned that those involved in Signalgate recklessly endangered the lives of American pilots. The fact that there has been no Congressional investigation is an abomination. This should outrage every single Member of Congress.

Japan is going to join NATO’s Ukraine support command in Germany as part of its strategy to deepen security ties.

Good to be in touch with trusted allies like Canada, I told @mark-carney.bsky.social. The EU remains committed to open, predictable trade. The same principles that enabled success stories like CETA. We discussed deeper cooperation on security & defence and our strong support for Ukraine.

Bye-bye, Tesla...
