BREAKING: “Europe has everything it needs to make it through the storm. We are in this together. If you take on one of us, you take on all of us” Ursula von der Leyen President of the European Commission 👏

In light of decisions taken in Washington, it is more important than ever that London and Brussels work together on an ambitious and extensive UK/EU trade deal. My statement 👇

ICYMI, this is the Cliff's Notes version of American politics.

The most obvious lesson to draw from the leaked Signal chat is that these people really are morons. It's not a public act, it's not a schtick, there's not some secret back room where they drop the facade. They are genuinely stupid, incompetent people.

My latest for @prospectmagazine.co.uk

British comic book creator Becky Burke is still being held in a USA detention camp, without news of release or repatriation bleedingcool.com/comics/briti...

(1/3) It needs repeating: in 1994, Ukraine was persuaded to give up its nuclear weapons to Russia in return for the US, the UK, and Russia guaranteeing Ukraine’s sovereignty, security, and territorial integrity.

The Iowa GOP advanced a bill making it a misdemeanor for a healthcare provider to administer a Covid vaccine. Even when a person has requested a Covid vaccine.

These are dark days. But for Starmer, the collapse of the old order is a moment of political promise. He can use it to remake his premiership and the continent: new political space has unfolded before him in every direction. Will he seize it? New writing from me. open.substack.com/pub/goodalla...

Trump and Vance just made Zelensky one of the most popular leaders in the world.

Repost & like, if you stand with President Zelensky!

Your dignity honors the bravery of the Ukrainian people. Be strong, be brave, be fearless. You are never alone, dear President Zelenskyy. We will continue working with you for a just and lasting peace.

MUST WATCH: This is chilling! A woman attends a town-hall in Coeur D’Alene, Idaho, peacefully speaks out, and gets hauled out by unmarked goons with zero authority. NO badges. This isn’t what freedom looks like, folks. Get ready—this ride is about to get WAY rougher.

“I expect you will eventually find someone who is enough of a fool, or enough of a coward, to file your motion. But it was never going to be me.”

Wow. Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde fearlessly calls out Trump and Vance to their faces. This is heroic. (posting in 3 parts due to Bluesky's 1 minute limit)

Just Elon Musk on 2nd January 2025 again sharing the video as "worth watching" for which Robinson was jailed for contempt of court. This remains Robinson's pinned tweet. X is responsible for most of the reach of the contempt It has monetised the contempt of court & continues to do so

This needs to be taken seriously and taken seriously now - not in 3 years' time. www.thetimes.com/uk/politics/...

No one can work as a DOCTOR in GP without min 5yr at Medical School, 2yr general hospital roles & 3yr GP training Only then can a GP consult undifferentiated patients with undiagnosed problems Yet @nhsengland.bsky.social decided this was OK for a PA This really is a patient safety issue for the UK

Palliative Care Doctor, Dr Rachel Clarke, "There are thousands of people suffering unnecessary pain" "We may be in a peculiar position where we have a state funded dying service but we don't have a state funded palliative care service"

Repost if BlueSky is now your primary social media site.

Realised I don't want everything to be lost when I leave X - & here's a tweet I'd like to save for posterity. 7 years ago, curled up in bed with grief, I posted this & it went round the world, & the astounding response made me cry with gratitude. Our magnificent, battered NHS. I love you, Dad 💙

Can we get this shared 1,000 times for the NHS?? 💙 go.bsky.app/QSu8Fdi

🧵 Whatever your views on assisted dying, I always assumed we’d all agree that the topic is ethically fraught & complex. Not so Matthew Parris. For him, it’s simple. Earlier this year, he argued that old & frail people *should* be killed - to save society the cost of looking after them. 1/n
