We have to do something. We must no matter how damaging initially. Put an embargo on all american goods maybe.

Hmm, should people believe JD Vance or their own eyes?

Oh oh oh all this hopeful hot air. Putin will never bend. Never change his path. Ukraine will die unless the EU & UK find the courage to save them.

Young people from all backgrounds to get opportunity to study abroad as UK-EU deal unlocks Erasmus+ The UK and EU have agreed that the UK will join the Erasmus+ scheme in 2027, along with further progress in other areas of the UK-EU reset.

The UK's decision to rejoin Erasmus is a rare bright spot in a bleak year. As Deputy Chair of the German British Association @debrige.bsky.social I've been pushing hard for links to strengthen. That requires political courage. But we need to realise who our friends are

Enemies to East and West European leaders are fully aware of the Trump-Putin link, but dare not say so publicly

This piece of analysis which I have just posted, first @foreignpolicy.com and now updated in my newsletter, is the result of several conversations with defence and security officials and politicians. It is stark in its warning. We are in grave danger

Astute assessment๐Ÿ‘‡

"Trump has demonstrated that the US is ready to sell out Ukraine for the sake of a dirty deal with Putinโ€™s Russia. His new US National Security Strategy prescribes โ€œcultivating resistance to Europeโ€™s current trajectory within European nationsโ€. How much more clarity do you need?"

โ€œIn 2017 there was not a single asylum seeker who arrived on a boat. Today we have 46,000 a year and do you know why? It was because of the botched Brexit deal pushed through by Boris Johnson and championed by Nigel Farage. Nigel Farage should be here apologisingโ€

I agree. And the BBC's claim to be *unbiased*? What a joke.

Chris Mason: Why, in my judgement, Reeves was misleading on one specific point The Chancellor chose not to share some information on tax receipts in an unusual press conference, given before the Budget.

All of us: Why, in our judgement, Chris Mason is misleading on most political points, all the time.

Because heโ€™s incapable of political commentary that isnโ€™t marinated in his own rightwing bias. Allegations for Labour. Free passes for Tories/Reform. Every Single Time.

Watched BBC 6 o clock news. Just a completely unserious broadcast. Chris Mason, acting like a children's entertainer, giving a prolonged impenetrable editorial. Not a whiff of informative content about the Budget or what it means for the country. Just playschool blah blah bollocks.
