Von der Leyen is giving a properly powerful and defiant speech at the Munich conference. Call to action and arms for the European States and says that Ukraine's accession to EU will be sped up. A definite broadside against US appeasement of Putin, too. She's knocking it out of the park.

The thinner tree was cut down years ago, and the larger one has been supporting and feeding it since then. They "wake up" together in the spring and "go to sleep" together in the autumn. This natural phenomenon is known as inosculation.

“Whether it’s Number 10’s interpretation of their mandate, or fear of low polling numbers, Labour seems determined to position its party electorally somewhere between the Conservatives and Reform – alienating their core vote and confusing everyone else.” www.theneweuropean.co.uk/why-are-labo...

Trump's advocacy for ethnic cleansing in Gaza - while hosting a man wanted by the ICC for war crimes and crimes against humanity - must not be ignored by Labour. The Government must defend international law, and reiterate Palestinians' right to self-determination.

If Government were to approve #Rosebank oilfield, it would be an unforgivable act of environmental vandalism & simply can’t be squared with #climate commitments. Anyone else recall Reeves’s pledge to be first Green Chancellor? How long ago it seems now…@stopcambo.bsky.social

In my column today I argue that, unbelievably, Labour are worse on environmental issues than the Conservatives. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Rachel, please listen to Louise: “I wonder what you were thinking, when things could still be changed, when science predicted the consequences of global warming with great certainty, when people who knew what they were talking about rang alarm bells all over the world” #WeTheHopeful wethehopeful.org

The sheer arrogance of the Chancellor standing there saying no more worrying about the bats and the newts? Who the hell does she think she is? She's literally picking a fight with nature & the biodiversity of our planet. I know who most people will back!

These women didn’t sit down, stay quiet, or ask for permission—they broke the rules and changed the world. Role models. We should add Bishop Mariann Budde to the list.
