Culture wars achieve nothing. They’re a waste of oxygen. The sort of headline grabbing posturing we’ve endured a lot of in recent years is dull & makes the country smaller. This week we’ve witnessed intelligent diplomacy and lawyerly skills at a time when they’re really required & it’s refreshing

Trump could be the biggest blessing this continent has ever wished for. If we really focused and really worked together then we are stronger then them all. Let them dabble in populist nationalism which is destined to fail. Starmer needs to grab this opportunity, Europe does also.

Oh dear. There are so many receipts. No wonder he wanted the earth to swallow him from the sofa in the Oval Office on Friday. Not a principle amongst them.

You’ll learn a lot today about who are the true British patriots who stand by other sovereign nations and those that give succour to Trump, Putin and far right fascism

The #EU has ~500 million citizens, versus #Russia's ~140 million and the #USA's ~300 million. The #EU's economy is ~8 times bigger than #Russia's (~17 trillion versus ~2.2 trillion). It's time the #EU became as much a military and foreign policy power as it is an economic one. #TheEUisBigger

Anyone else watching the BBC news? Dear god, they've lost the plot. The BBC, Sarah Smith in particular, are defending Trump & Vance and laying into Zelensky. WTF? Is it me? Am I missing something?

The Czech budget has received twice as much income from Ukrainian refugees over the past three years as it has spent on social assistance. Show this to the victims of Russian propaganda who scream about the harm to the country from Ukrainian refugees.

I remember feeling so angry after 2016 that people from other countries would judge all Brits because “we” voted to Leave. So I have huge sympathy with the 48% of American voters who did not help deliver the fascistic, nepotistic Trump to power now making the world less safe. But the 49.8%? 🤬

The UK is going to have to make a choice. Do we stand with Ukraine and Europe? Or are we with Trump's America and Putin's Russia? That's what it comes down to. We must choose Europe.

Every news channel has been saying all day the Tate brothers' history is one of misogyny, their return is shady, and the effect on victims traumatic. AND YET... all of them are standing by to livecast any remark the Tates care to make after landing, live and in full. You are part of the problem.

GSK to increase CEO pay packet from £10.6m to £21.6m a year. Corporate wealth is generated by workers. Will their pay increase by the same rate? No chance. Govt tells workers wage rises are inflationary. But hikes in exec pay, dividends, share buybacks are OK It is class war. archive.ph/3Q5ht

Class act from UK today in difficult circumstances. I knew Mandelson would be a top class ambassador, very smart choice. Starmer & Lammy represented 🇬🇧 very well to a tricky room. The idea of Badenoch doing this job doesn’t bear thinking about. A good day at the office!
