Rejoining the EU by eating the Brexit Elephant one bite at a time. I will defend myself but I do not want to engage in culture wars. Better to find what we do agree on and work to an acccomodation from there.

I was very surprised to find this statue of Norfolk's most famous son, Lord Nelson, in Birmingham's Bull Ring when I moved here a few years ago - no idea why he popped up so far from the sea! #alphabetchallenge #WeekHforHeroes #photography #Norfolk #history #out&about

No, but if you’re looking for one, I am aware of a guy you work with that was indicted four times and convicted of thirty-four felonies.

No, it will be made in Europe. America is incredibly important to us, Europe more so. Relationships with both are tricky.

Freedom of Movement was robbed from us by a successful Russian influence operation and the worst abuses of democracy in modern British history. Please repost if you want it restored.

This isn't just true for Americans - it is vital that we all hold the line and defend democracy. "I’m far from certain that staying engaged will make a difference. What I do know is that if we all tune out, there’s no hope at all" @sulliview.bsky.social

There you have it, Trump now openly supporting Putin, and Farage/Reform openly supporting Trump. If you support Farage/Reform, you're doing the same thing as those who supported Mosley before World War II. WAKE UP before it's too late!

A reminder: Ukraine is not the first country to suspend elections in war time. The United Kingdom had no General Election between December 1910 and December 1918. Nor did it have one between November 1935 and July 1945.

I don't see Trump demanding elections in Russia. ...ironically one year, almost to the day, after Alexei Navalny's murder.

Trump wants to land-grab in Ukraine— — just like Greenland, Gaza, Canada, Panama. He wants to grab other people’s land and natural resources all under the guise of “protection” and “development” of “the west” under his care. It’s pure mafia imperialism.

Sadiq Khan is absolutely right that the UK must urgently strengthen its economic relationship with the EU, to both help growth and protect against Trump. An EU-UK Youth Mobility Scheme would go some way to restoring the opportunities Brexit stole. www.theguardian.com/politics/202... (1/2)

So Reform UK MP Rupert Lowe has finally spelled out the quiet part in neon letters for those who hadn’t got it yet. This political moment isn’t about limiting protection to “genuine” refugees. It is about slamming the UK shut to people fleeing danger. There’s no pretending you didn’t know.
