Disney/ABC have a responsibility to refuse to participate in corruption.

Kimmel must be reinstated. If Disney/ABC agree to this extortion then perhaps creatives + workers should consider collective action to push back. Same w/buying park + cruise tickets if they bow.

People have power. Ask Target

UK-EU Deal: Prime Minister must build on promise of historic moment The UK has secured a new agreement with the European Union, which includes many policies first developed and campaigned for by Best for Britain.

β€œBy building on this agreement, facing down those who did the UK much damage, and working with our closest neighbours and allies in Europe, Keir Starmer can cement his reputation as a Prime Minister who does what is best for Britain.” ~AA

Your eternal reminder that Nigel Farage turned up to just one of 42 meetings when he was a member of the European Parliament fisheries committee

This professor studies dictatorships. He helped convince Harvard to stand up to Trump Harvard professor Steve Levitsky has spent decades studying democracies and how they fail. He's now raising alarm bells over what he sees as a slide toward autocracy under President Trump.

'β€œIf we’re going for going to mobilize, it’s going to be the most prominent, the most well-endowed, the most privileged and protected of us in civil society who have to take the lead,” Levitsky said.'

With 10% tariffs on UK exports to the US there's no point in a deal and far, far more important for HMG to refocus efforts on UK EU trade improvements. We can shield each other to an extent from Trump by doing that. Just get on with it. Common sense deal.

Just checking, had you noticed this article relates to Australia? Could be misleading headline to folks in the UK and looking at your timeline, most of your posts relate to the UK. Ignore me if I’ve got this wrong!

2 weeks in the Outer Hebrides. One of the most beautiful places I have ever visited. Wind and rain most days with only a very rare glimpse of sunshine. Despite that, would go back in a heartbeat πŸ’“

Not a bloody clue. Just undiluted arrogance coursing through his veins. His precious Brexit - like a shit being stamped all over the carpet - and still he preens about how we hold all the cards. Ffs. Are these people just immune to their own howling failure?

Top tip for those new to @bsky.app: complete your profile and post a few things first so that when you follow people they can make an informed decision whether to follow back.

President Obama: "Our politics has become so polarised these days that all of us, across the political spectrum, seem so quick to assume the worst in others unless they agree with us on every single issue. We start thinking that the only way to win is to scold and shame."
