Ukraine has fought too hard for its freedom, only to have its future dictated by Putin and Trump behind closed doors. Any peace must guarantee Ukraine’s sovereignty and security on terms acceptable to Ukrainians, not just to Moscow and Mar-a-Lago.

Absolutely spot on by George - -and the faster people recognise this dynamic, the better for our ability we have to protect our values and quality of life in Europe.

Anyone British who experienced #Brexit will find this sadly familiar.

Starmer is to attend an EU summit and Brexiters are having a proper tantrum about it. As if they negotiated something good. As if our industries hadn’t been desperately lobbying govt ever since. As if the EU wasn’t an ally. Brexiters are monstrous toddlers - a total drag on diplomacy and progress.

Questions for the Canadians out there. There seemed to be a pro Trump conservative movement that dragged down Trudeau. Is that movement getting stronger or weaker ?

For over 30 years, we’ve safeguarded traditional EU products under our special 'Geographical Indications' status. The latest products now officially protected as ‘made in the EU’: 🇲🇹 Ġbejna tan-nagħaġ 🇱🇻 Aglonas maizes veistūklis 🇸🇰 Trnavský slad 🇫🇷 Nougat de Montélimar More → europa.eu/!wfdNHT

So true.

Trump may think he knows who his enemies are, but he doesn’t. His two biggest enemies will always be 1) reality and 2) himself

So much for supporting our troops.

Oh boy the return of fascist peekaboo. At least the first time around, they tried to be a little more coy with the OK sign. Now we're going to "debate" whether a full sieg heil counts.

Trump should be in jail. Instead - he's about to get handed the keys to the White House. That this can happen is not only mind-boggling, it's frankly terrifying I'm afraid. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

A bit late!!🥺 At the very least Trump should’ve been prevented from standing as a 2024 Presidential candidate so the legal process could’ve been completed! The whole thing is a farce!!😠 www.bbc.com/news/article...

Ein sehr lesenswerter Artikel von @nataschastrobl.bsky.social in der @taz.de Musk hat mit dem Einzug Trumps ins Weiße Haus sein Ziel nicht erreicht. Es ist eine Etappe in der Umsetzung einer Ideologie. taz.de/Elon-Musks-p...

I do wonder whether/how long the Mail can hold off going all in on Farage? Shilling furiously for the Tories is looking increasingly unhinged.

I dare the BBC to take this to court. And get utterly destroyed.

Lock him up.

A quick reminder of how hard these people are working to put out these fires. Please keep them in your thoughts

🔥 “All donations that originate from abroad, no matter who is the final donor, should be banned. Only UK citizens should be allowed to donate to British political organisations.”

The reality... #FBPE

Just when you thought it couldn’t possibly get any worse… ‘Brexit problem’: UK tap water safety at risk after testing labs shut down www.theguardian.com/business/202...

These two graphs show the complete disaster of Brexit! 💥Britain has lost its place among the top trading nations, while 4 EU members are now in the top 8. 💥Immigration from the EU has dropped by -193%, while immigration from the rest of the world has exploded, for example with +1700% from Zimbabwe!

The pro-EU movement needs to carry out events like this across the north of England and in Labour’s Red Wall. That is the only way to signal to Starmer and his “let’s make Brexit work“ crew (Reeves, Nandy etc) that public opinion is changing against his policy northeastbylines.co.uk/news/brexit/...

The world is 700% richer than in 1970 but the average person is only 8% richer. Because the richest 0.01% are 4000% richer. We are all being robbed every second of every day, and it doesn't matter how much profit or growth there is. It will never reach you.

Day 5 of Georgia protests. Much focus has been on Tbilisi, where 200,000 have been gathering in recent days. However, this is in Batumi, Georgia’s second largest city. Huge numbers now gathering. Pro-EU, anti-government/anti-Russia protests growing across the country. (🎥Irakli Gogua on Instagram)

He thought he could throttle our accounts, suppress our posts, force his insane views on us & just get away with it. Boll**** to that. Welcome to BlueSky everyone

Government finally admits Brexit makes touring Europe ‘simply not viable’ for musicians www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

As always Sir Michael Take is bang on the money!

"The Ribble Rivers Trust, a charity aiming to protect and improve the River Ribble and its surrounds throughout Lancashire, says the recent official classification of bathing water at a Clitheroe beauty-spot as ‘poor’ shows the need for action on pollution." Depressing that standards are slipping.

The Reform party Nativity scene. No unmarried mothers, no Mddle Eastern people, no Refugees, no people seeking emergency accommodation, and definitely no wise men.

Left: Kemi Badenoch says British citizenship should be "a privilege to be earned" and not an "automatic right" Right: A Nigerian TV channel points out that Kemi Badenoch's mum flew to London to give birth to Kemi, then flew back to Nigeria, where Kemi was raised till the age of 16

The liars, of course, have all moved on to new cons & deceptions. The fishing industry can't. A vaguely honest media would be holding Farage & the rest to account for this instead of promoting a meaningless petition... www.plymouthherald.co.uk/news/plymout...

🚨 🚨 Once in a while you spot a scientist with real integrity. Major kudos to @deevybee.bsky.social for resigning from Royal Society over Musk’s continuing fellowship stating that the fellowship was "a contradiction of all the values" of UK’s academy of sciences. www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

Average annual energy bill to rise by £21 to £1,738 from January. One of the highest prices in the world. No curbs on profiteering - oil, gas, energy companies making record profits, fueling poverty, business costs. Profiteers also get public subsidies. www.theguardian.com/money/2024/n...

So Nigel Farage, who has repeatedly suggested that migration puts women's safety at risk, has been harbouring a senior colleague who was jailed for violently assaulting his own girlfriend

On behalf of everyone on Bluesky, yes it is.

"The spectre of Brexit is simply becoming too big to ignore. An unprecedented statement from the Bank of England this week finally broke the Brexit omerta when Governor Andrew Bailey directly blamed slow growth on the UK’s decision to leave the EU." 🇬🇧🇪🇺 www.thelondoneconomic.com/politics/kei...
