Every Saturday at 2pm Ukrainians living in the Cambridge area join local people to #StandWithUkraine After today's disgusting display by Trump and Vance such solidarity is more important than ever. From Cambridge to Kharkiv, we must stand together for freedom and democracy.

This short-termism by the current oil majors will eventually be their downfall. Time for legislators all over the world to step up and regulate this highly polluting and dangerous business sector. They know exactly what their products do to the climate and eventually they will be held liable.

Strange that the BBC would not highlight the AfD clearly far right ideology, neonazi influence, Musk/Vance support or their dissolved youth wing classed as far right extreme when decrying the firewall against this barely legal party? Did the UK forget about the 1930s? www.bbc.com/news/article...

Ironic that AfD party programme is plagiarising far right climate denying think tanks - not sure AfD voters would replace all those Green/SPD/FDP/Linke/CDU voters who will never again purchase a Tesla after what we had to witness from Musk in the last weeks. www.theguardian.com/business/202...

Taking the money from development cooperation means we are taking it from the poorest of the poor. This is not how we fulfil the SDGs in the world. Pivoting to the current US Government will cost us dearly and not make us more secure. Better to cooperate with those who share our values…

It takes a particular kind of ideological unawareness of the U.K. interest to look at what’s going on in the world and think that this is a good moment for the uk to leave the council of Europe.

Of course, we need to wait for the official draft of the #Omnibus act on #CSRD and #CSDD, but aligning the reporting oligations of the two acts is not such a problem imho. Reducing due diligence standards or limiting them to direct suppliers would be a huge setback. www.luxtimes.lu/europeanunio...

Shocking to see AfD results in Germany. The leader of the opposition and likely next German Chancellor Merz strongly criticised the interference by both the new US Government and Russia. Will we eventually uncover strong authoritarian and illegal support for AfD? www.politico.eu/article/frie...

As Germans head for the polls today, the stakes could not be higher for Germany‘s future and Europe. My in-depth analysis on Merz‘ huge mistakes, but also some hope that the centre will get its act together in light of what happened since Munich.

The brazen lawlessness by the current US administration is staggering. Do they have any international law advice at all? Bordering on international crimes, this could lead to @intlcrimcourt.bsky.social indictments given that Ukraine is a state party since 1 Jan 2025. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
