After being manipulated by Russia into leaving the European Union through the infamous "Brexit" catastrophe, the UK and the European Union are set to sign a formal declaration committing to “free and open trade."

Funny old world isn't it...

Russian foreign affairs ministry reports that US Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Lavrov had a phone call last night. Note the term "Ukrainian crisis" that Russia keeps using.

It's remarkable that he even needs to say this...

Danny Dyer cements his national treasure status

So good, thank you

Germany's Defense Minister Boris Pistorius told German public broadcaster ARD: "Ukraine... will certainly not go as far — or should not go as far — as the latest proposal by the American president.

Released 45 years ago today "Love Will Tear Us Apart," a song by English post-punk band Joy Division. Everyone knows the original video, but I chose a different one this time. Peter Hook & The Light - 'Love Will Tear Us Apart' - Live at O2 Apollo, Manchester - 29/7/22. #joydivision #history #otd

Nigel Farage is a political fraud ‘cosplaying’ as working-class champion, TUC chief says www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Water companies caught using their own sewage crisis to overcharge US to fix it The likes of Thames Water are charging the billpayer six times more for fixing sewage issues than they should be - yet Labour will not act www.thecanary.co/uk/analysis/...

I'm seeing & hearing of issues with contaminated land all over the country. Last week in Runcorn & Helsby, met a farmer working on contaminated land. In London, on old gas works sites have met many people with toxic air where developers cut corners. www.theguardian.com/environment/... 1/2

President Zelenskyy: "It is absolutely obvious that Russia is actually trying to fool the world - fool America& others -prolong the war further. That's why pressure is necessary…Yesterday's meetings in Vatican and Rome confirmed that our partners understand what's going on."

THE GUARDIAN: TUC chief exposes Nigel Farage as a political fraud masquerading as a working-class hero, urging Labour to stay true to its principles against the allure of right-wing populism. - by Pippa Crerar

One of the funniest things about angry, insecure, misogynists - left and right - is how they find each other online then have weak backslapping chats on whatever social media platform they frequent. Just form a support group and leave me out of it.

An 18-year-old girl fled Makiivka after living under Russian occupation for ten years. She secretly studied at a Ukrainian school and learned the Ukrainian language - and she kept it a secret from her parents.She began to fully realize the reality of the war after conversations with a boy from Kyiv

To anyone on 'the Left' who doesn't understand why women oppose current 'trans activism,' read this. "I do not believe it a coincidence that this movement has gained so much power at a time when misogyny as a whole has been rising exponentially." jeniharveymindthegap.substack.com/p/antifemini...

Next week in The Daily Telegraph: Woke academics claim bears shit in woods.

Do you take Apple Pa….. never mind.

I can’t quite comprehend how staggeringly unaware of your own misogyny you’d have to be to suggest a campaign of ‘civil disobedience’ which comprised solely of men invading the single sex spaces of women to try to provoke them to reaction.

Ticklish one for the @washingtonpost.com

Striking to see every commentator in paroxysms about the Vatican spectacular- in a nation that used to define itself in opposition to exactly that gilded frippery. To be British was to believe that papacy was a grotesque corruption of God’s will expressed through the gospels.

Pause for thought.

Extremely sad to hear of the death of Virginia Guiffre. After being sexually abused and trafficked as a teenager, it is because of her bravery that some of the perpetrators were brought to justice. She was a beacon of light for survivors everywhere. Rest in peace and power 🤍

Seminal moment

“He and his party have never run anything – a local council, a parish council. He’s spent a lifetime doing what he accuses others of doing, which is riding the political gravy train” Farage will take your votes and then take the piss. Don’t give him that chance. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

#BigIssue editor @PauldMcNamee on @BBCNewsnight on the reality of Brexit People coming into Britain are a positive, [They] boost the nation, boost the economy…. Let’s change the narrative- migration is good a thing, for Scotland it is essential @grassrootsforeurope.org @oxfordforeurope.bsky.social

As a European I just can't get my head round this. A family member had a mini health scare a few weeks ago - scans and specialists all arranged in a couple of weeks on the NHS and it cost precisely nothing. They were OK too btw.

”For Europeans, the idea of recognising Crimea’s annexation — the first land-grab by military force in Europe since 1945 — is an anathema since it would eviscerate the rules-based order that has underpinned peace on the continent for generations” www.ft.com/content/6a3f...

“The homeland is not the president's ass. Putin is not the homeland, the State Duma is not the homeland, and the criminals who are now killing Ukrainians are not the homeland either. I love my homeland — a peaceful Russia that harms no one. But that country no longer exists.” 📹: aleksei_tln/TikTok

We live in a world where no one from Jeffrey Epstein's sex offenders list has been prosecuted because they are rich and powerful but at least 4 of their victims have been driven to suicide.

This says it all

Huge news

About 20 years ago I was walking across a London Bridge at night and a man said “are you Stewart Lee?” I said “no” and he kept shouting at me “yes you are. Why are you fucking lying?” I could have just told him who I was but he was rude from the start. hope he tells everyone what a prick Stewart was

Oxford Street: then and now. But what comes next? I encourage everyone to have their say on our proposals to transform Oxford Street into a place Londoners—and the whole country—can be proud of. The consultation closes in one week on 2 May ➡️ london.gov.uk/your-oxford-...

A satellite developed by British academics and engineers is set to become the first in the world to measure the condition of the Earth’s forests from space. It is set to be launched on the 29th April. It will measure the biomass in hard to reach forests in the tropics and monitor deforestation.

Farage echoes JFK Jrs sick, twisted rhetoric re autism/SEND👇🏼🤬 There’s no depths the toxic, little turd won’t plunge, chasing attention, power and to please his right wing financial backers❗️ He claims learning difficulties are hugely over diagnosed in the UK Well I diagnose him a parasitic pr*ck 🤷🏼‍♂️

Putin's willingness to negotiate and cooperate is an illusion. He does what he wants and is able to do. The Kremlin always acts only in its own interests. It always deceives: In speech, in writing, in all forms and options. The Kremlin has no partners: only slaves or masters⤵️

Let’s keep words alive, for the love of poetry 🙏🏻 go.bsky.app/2F9FQDq

Blaring music from a phone or portable radio in shared public space (often confined public transport) is not something to defend. It’s a symptom of our shallow, selfishly individual capitalist culture. Nobody should feel entitled to dominate space & infringe on others. Not a hill to die on comrades.
