I never really saw any real evidence of a special relationship It was just PMs bigging themselves up to their domestic audience wasn’t it? But now it’s gone maybe we can stop hankering after deals and look back to Europe where we belong and work out what we are going to do there

Nigel Farage wants to get rid of the NHS and replace it with US Health Insurance which would be 4x more expensive and worse in every way. Except for the £600bn a year profit for him and his mates.

Every time I see Starmer greeting, or greeted by, a European leader it makes me happy. There’s a real warmth there that has been missing for such a long time. In these troubling times I have full confidence in our PM.

Fascinated by people who argue “The government only met their increased appointment target by ending the doctors strike” as a gotcha. I mean, yes? That would be the primary purpose of ending a strike, to ensure those striking could in fact do their job instead of striking.

Today my 94 yo dad called and told me he’s worried. He grew up in WW2 Holland, suffering hardship esp during the 1944-45 winter famine. In the 80 years since he has experienced peace, progress and prosperity. Heartbreaking to think he now fears for the future his children and grandchildren may face.

💥 Well how about that. After years of Brexiteers saying we had to leave the EU to avoid being forced into a European army… … it turns out that Brits are fine with the idea. With the UK explicitly included. A plurality of Tory voters support it - and even a fair chunk of Reform. How times change…

When a judge stops the president from doing something illegal, that’s not a “threat to democracy,” that’s a check on the president’s power. That's the whole damn point.

Europe can’t rely on the strength of the transatlantic relationship to help contain Russia’s threat – it must lead from the front and be the true force of support that Ukraine needs. Not just for Ukraine’s sake, but for a free and sovereign Europe.
