The view from our window in London. Thinking of Ukraine and its people who just want to enjoy their lives, family and friends, and the beauty of their country and cities.

Should there be a sanity clause for POTUS? www.youtube.com/watch?v=dbUD...

If a regime this corrupt and obnoxious goes after you, you're probably a decent person. I support my MP. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

This is organist Olena Kohut, killed today in Sumy by the Russian missile. Joseph Rheinberger, Visione, op. 156 no. 5 💔

Barbaric slaughter of 32 Ukrainians on Palm Sunday by murderers blessed by the Russian Orthodox Church. Meantime Putin pretends to Witkoff that he wants peace.

I have written to David Lammy to ask him to summon the Chinese Ambassador after @WeraHobhouse.bsky.social was refused entry to Hong Kong when visiting her family, apparently simply because she is a British MP. China should not be allowed to undermine our democracy.

Incredible. He truly has no idea what he's going www.bbc.com/news/article...

It’s. What. We. Must. Do. ✨

The sheer fun of being in power and causing worldwide misery

If you are buying more stuff from a country than you are selling to them, this does not mean they are doing something bad or wrong and need to be penalised. That's just nuts.

New trade Russian roulette - you send your container to the US and try to guess what tariffs will apply on the day it gets there.

In all the current insanity of the the world, this for me transcends everything.. youtu.be/Cwas_7H5KUs?...

Bravo Mark Carney for being criticised by Liz Truss (whose policies as the shortest-lived UK prime minister tanked the UK economy in few weeks).

'Bluesky has overtaken its flailing rival X in hosting posts related to new academic research, indicating the platform is fast becoming the go-to place for scholars to share their work.'

Democracy in action

Italian CEO says that Elon Musk is a crazy drug addict and he should be locked up in a psychiatric hospital.

Real-world example of how the U.S. is losing business because of tariffs: Roughly half of the Lindt chocolates sold in Canada comes from U.S. facilities. Now, that supply chain is shifting to Europe so that Canadian products aren’t subject to tariffs. Short-term policy, long-term consequences.

WARNER: Can you explain how it helps natl security or our trade balance - I loved your fancy Greek formula which was bad math on steroids - how with a trade surplus Australia got hit with a 10% tariff as well? GREER: Australia has the lowest rate available WARNER: We have a trade surplus!

Highly recommend this on Netflix. Very very funny. www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio...

Walz: "For him to mock them and to say this about Canada, that they're nasty people. The thing I think that has to start to set in and I would argue that happened in Wisconsin is that there's buyer's remorse. Nobody signed up to insult the Canadians and drive up potash prices."

The President may claim it's Liberation Day, but the American people know it’s National Sales Tax Day. And in the Senate, we are fighting back against these reckless tariffs.

Fight. Protect. Build.
