I sent an unsolicited email to Elon Musk (with whom I have no supervisory relationship) asking him to name five of his illegitimate children. Failure to respond will be taken to mean he owes me a million dollars. See how stupid that sounds?

How can Brexit Britain navigate Trump's World? New post on my Brexit & Beyond Blog. With the rapid deepening of a dangerous global divide, the UK faces hard choices. Could the latest proposals for UK-EU 'mutual recognition' be part of the answer? chrisgreybrexitblog.blogspot.com/2025/02/how-...

@borisjohnsonreal.bsky.social This is who, and what, Trump is supporting.

Of all the things Elon Musk has said, this is the worst. We cannot rely on Trump and his shadow president Musk. The UK must boost defence spending and take the lead in Europe.

Trump’s favourite paper giving him what-for.

Enough talking, it's time to act — Polish Prime Minister Tusk called for financing aid to Ukraine using frozen Russian assets.

Real talk - If you are a member of Congress and are warned of death threats, I'm genuinely sorry, that's terrible. But the response is not to *surrender and change your vote*. It's to run to *EVERY CAMERA YOU CAN FIND* and say "I am receiving death threats for doing my job." Christ.

Marco Rubio's collaboration with Russia's Sergei Lavrov and Putin is one of the most disgusting acts of betrayal to democracy and our nation. Rubio has secured his place in history of infamy.

This is a terrifying thread, but spot on. Just before the election, I was interviewed in Brasil and was told that I was 'overreacting'. I've not been asked back. It's happening. NOW. Wake up.

Once again I am leaving the Munich Security Conference in a low mood. Amongst all the noise, the US signalled their plans for Europe, so things are becoming clearer. But things are clearly not good. This is what we now know, and what we have to do about it:🧵1/17

Never forget what russia has done to Mariupol. There can be no lasting peace in Europe without justice for this. It's either peace through strength and accountability, or more wars through appeasement and concessions. No third way.
