Merz on Trump: "I told him Spain is a member of the European Union and as such, we will only negotiate a customs agreement with the USA jointly or not at all. And there is no way to treat Spain particularly badly here; if anything, we will all come to a common result, and that includes Spain."

The number of commentators/journalists salivating at blaming Starmer for ruining the “special relationship” is genuinely pathetic

If anyone ruined it- if it even really exists- here’s a reminder of who did it.

Leaning into Rice and Zubimendi for Brighton trip Morning. It’s another tough one this evening as we visit Brighton, and the team news from Mikel Arteta was positive regarding Declan Rice. He said the midfielder was feeling ‘much better’ after coming off against Chelsea, and I fully expect him and Martin Zubimendi to start tonight. I know there’s been a lot talk about […] The post Leaning into Rice and Zubimendi for Brighton trip appeared first on Arseblog ... an Arsenal blog.

Thank you email for joining the Green Party

Thank you email for joining the Green Party

Just joined UK’s Green Party for a few reasons. Starmer himself suggested ppl like me leave the Labour Party when he assumed leadership. Request granted. But the Greens’ recent success & polling (and more importantly their policy goals!) show them to be robust & viable.

Nigel Farage says Trump presidency makes world better, safer place'
Nigel Farage has insisted Donald Trump becoming president for a belated second term will help make the world a "better, safer place".
The Reform UK leader has been vocal of his friendship with Trump, and even received a shoutout from the Republican during a recent rally.
This weekend, Reform UK are having a conference in Exeter, where Mr Farage remarked: "We can say with some confidence that 'woke' just died in America.
"Trump being there makes the world a better, safer place."

BADLY WRONG about Brexit.
It’s cost the UK economy alone circa £130bn.

BADLY WRONG about Trump.
Attacked more countries of any modern President.

Farage clearly has incredibly poor judgement, yet the mainstream media, ironically, constantly question Starmer’s.

Younger people may not remember Tony Benn, but his speech in 1998 has as much resonance today as it did then.

A nearly 4,000 majority because of 'family voting'? I think not. The first response was the 'observers' saw 28 cases, now it is a full blown 'stolen by-election'.

Building on the derby win as Chelsea visit Morning. After a rare midweek off, we’re back in action this afternoon as we face Chelsea at home. Team news from the manager’s press conference was vague, so we’ll have to wait and see who is available later.

Dear @lucympowell.bsky.social,

I have enjoyed our exchange of letters about which of our parties is best placed to stop Reform. Hannah Spencer MP and I trust that you agree that this question has now been resolved once and for all.

Thanks,

@zackpolanski.bsky.social : "Reform are finding their anti migrant & divisive rhetoric is not working anymore. I think people are sick of it and want solutions.. Farage doesn't have any of those solutions because he pretends to be a man of the people but he's a man of the wealthy people.."🎯
