🇪🇺🇬🇧 Through my first set of meetings in Brussels. The praise for Starmer is overwhelming: “What he has managed to do is not just good for him. It's good for all of us. Absolutely top notch. This is the UK at its best. The UK we have always admired.

Re-writing history is a tool of political fraudsters everywhere. Trump is its keenest proponent. The birth of the European Community, later the EU, was actually actively supported by the US. The joint, transatlantic goal was to secure peace on the Continent. It was a specific vision of FDR.

ExodusAction #1: Please everyone tell @thenation.com to engage with Bsky first not X. We tried asking nicely. If they use Bsky more, their audience will too. It's a small, easy step we can all take to promote free speech and democracy. (crossposting with @buffer.com is free).

Even though he’s little better than a Russian stooge he’s right for the wrong reason. For exactly the same justification that Germany in particular & Europe in general had to break its reliance on Russian gas we have to wean ourselves off over reliance on the US, for anything. Totally unreliable now

Correct. If the birthdate field contains corrupt or mismatched data, it defaults to 1875-05-20, which serves as a flag. May 20, 1875, is the day the international standards and metrics treaty was signed. Everything is a conspiracy when you don’t know how anything works.

Why are the BBC spending licence fees on “investigating” non stories like this ? What is this anti Reeves agenda? This sort of nonsense it what you expect from certain sections of the right wing press it shouldn’t be from the supposedly impartial BBC.

Tesla earned $2.3 billion in the United States in 2024. You'd think it paid a lot in taxes, right? Well it paid precisely $0 in federal income taxes last year. You want waste and fraud? Look at what some big corporations and the rich are getting away with.

Please ask @bsky.app to reinstate the @vizcomic.bsky.social account. Viz may not translate for a US moderator but they need to know they are, without exaggeration, one of the foundational pillars of UK comedy for over four decades. It’s like banning Mad Magazine or SNL only Viz is actually funny.

@ivograham.bsky.social Loved your show at Bristol last night & lovely touch to give souvenir tickets. Mine will be stored securely with 50+ years of tickets & my kids drawings - they are 28 & 23 now so don’t do as many as they used to ! Swindon v Port Vale this weekend 🤞for a repeat of 2012 😀

Remember all these headlines describing a brief rise in government borrowing costs as being "market mayhem", followed by a week of demands for Rachel Reeves to quit? Well one week later and it turns out UK gilts are now outperforming every other G7 country this year, aside from the US

Donald Tusk: "I am aware this is a dream: that instead of a #Brexit, we will have a #Breturn. Perhaps I am labouring under an illusion. But I'd rather be an optimist and harbour these dreams in my heart. Sometimes they come true in politics." ~AA

📈Lots of charts doing rounds re market jitters in the UK. Here's one I find quite helpful 👇 It's the cost of insuring UK debt against default. Two things to note: 1. People ARE more concerned. The CDS spread HAS jumped up recently. 2. It's nothing like what happened in 2022.
