As Prime Minister I will always act in the national interest. Port Talbot not in the national interest (Wales) Grangemouth not in the national interest (Scotland) Gave Ineos £600m to open plant in Belgium Scunthorpe that’s in the national interest (England) National Interest = ENGLAND UK MAP

I just want to tip my hat to the crack team of White House economists who were able to discover--in just a few short days--that the U.S. is dependent on China for smartphones, computers and semiconductors.

When I was in 9th grade the coach told me my sweater made me look gay. I replied that was good, as I was trying to get his wife to leave me alone. And that's the real reason why I failed gym.

A fascinating conversation with Dr Lucy Taylor launching her exciting new book 'Global Politics of Welsh Patagonia' at the National Library of Wales last night. Hugely thought-provoking. @uniwalespress.bsky.social @wigs24.bsky.social @neilevanshistory.bsky.social

Beautiful opening to Catherine Hall’s Lucky Valley: “Stuart has accompanied me through these years, living as he does in my mind and my dreams, my favorite photograph of him watching over me at my desk, his books all around me. I’m in dialogue with the dead, writing through the feelings.”

Felon47 has shown us in Canada what life would be like if PP aka mini Trump wannabe was to become PM. Pierre Poilievre will NEVER be Prime Minister! Canadians are united and will vote for who represents our values. Mark Carney is that man. 🇨🇦❤️ We are True North Strong and Free❣️ #MarkCarney4PM

Glacier National Park and Yellowstone National Park are HUGE moneymakers for Montana’s economy. Without park services the Montana legislature will have to figure out how to manage them. Is this all part of their plan to make our parks privately owned???

Around 400,000 people work in universities across the UK, and more then 200,000 of them are academics. The closures and job losses we’re seeing in the sector just now are a major industrial crises affecting the key workplaces and economic drivers of hundreds of towns and cities.

It's weirdly difficult to remember that Trump's popular vote margin was /less/ than Hillary's in 2016. Biden got more votes in 2020 than Trump got in 2024 and Trump surrogates all under-performed in congressional races. This is not a mandate, I don't get why it is being portrayed that way.

Musk, Vance & Trump all misrepresent democracy. When they say “democracy”, they mean a free-for-all with no rule of law, where the winner takes all. When Europe says “democracy”, we mean proportional representation, collaborative politics, citizen rights, and agreed guide rails guaranteed by law.

A proud, authoritarian goon, 'the most unguarded ogler of his time,' with a hot temper, wild fake hair and a strong association with New York became King today in 1685. Within 4 years he had alienated everyone & was kicked out
