Reform UK councillors have introduced a motion to rescind King's Lynn and West Norfolk's climate emergency declaration and deprioritise decarbonisation efforts The council were going to vote on it on Thursday But the meeting has been postponed due to extreme heat

I’m hearing James Maddison is the Prime Minister?

Imagine cheering a bus.

Not all heroes wear… oh..

Where is an Englishman supposed to get a haggis in Hertfordshire?

I hope John Brooks has a terrible Christmas @pgmol

@eurostarjustin.bsky.social Hey Justin - we’re getting Eurostar to Paris in a couple of months with our 6 mth old and 3 (nearly 4) year old. They’ll be on our laps, so can you recommend the best seats to choose? Cheers!

It has been a long, slow decline. But this is the moment the BBC died as a public service broadcaster. www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio...

From Hunter S. Thompson’s ESPN page 2 column one week after 9/11.

Come on Albo, what have you got to slay about this?

Almost nine years after we launched, The New European is now The New World

It’s been great ignoring the news and politics in favour of Spurs for the last couple of weeks. Long may it continue.

Superb, as ever, from @davidsquires.bsky.social.

Finishing the first of the Wayward Pines trilogy from Blake Crouch, and at a loss as to what to read next. It has completely thrown me. Similar to the way Crouch’s Recursion affected me too. Madness.

This is why you have second amendment rights, isn’t it?

@thevatican @popeleoxiv let me know if you need anymore merch designs for the gift shop 🙏 god bless

what if it’s black and white smoke?

Our daughter was born on the day of Storm Eustace in 2022. We did consider Storm Eustace Farrugia as a name.

Is that Maltese fella still in the frame for Pope? If we can get him in and Buttigieg makes the White House, we can finally activate all the Maltese sleeper agents and achieve Maltese dominance.

They always bury this bit.

There’s no greater birthday present than the collapse of the world economy 🥰 #BlackTrumpDay

Hot cross buns with cheese. Yay or nay?

Awful scenes coming out of Gaza as Israeli govt announces its intention to seize more Palestinian territory and displace civilians yet again. The UK government is still shamefully complicit. We must stop arms sales, recognise Palestine, and hold those responsible accountable.

I have no doubt the Le Pen verdict is deserved. A lot of the political fallout for her, the RN but also for the perceived credibility of the verdict, now depends on the duration of the ineligibility. 🧵

The cast of Last One Laughing USA has been announced:

The NATIONAL SECURITY ADVISER added the EDITOR OF THE ATLANTIC to a PRINCIPALS COMMITTEE TEXT CHAIN set up for the DEFENSE SECRETARY about PLANNED MILITARY STRIKES. Here's a thread of involved parties talking about the need for secure communications (when Dems are involved):

Pete Hegseth in 2016: "If it was anyone other than Hillary Clinton, they would be in jail right now... because the assumption is in the intelligence community, if you are using unclassified means, there is the potential for and likelihood that foreign governments are targeting those accounts."

SCOOP—Emails obtained by @zeteo.com show Mahmoud Khalil reached out for help from the Columbia administration *one day before* ICE detained him. He said he couldn't sleep from threats he was receiving. He even wrote that he feared ICE "might come to my home."

Columbia grad student with a green card and a pregnant US citizen wife, abducted by ICE because of his political organizing, and now his lawyers can't find him. Hey, @schumer.senate.gov. This is your constituent. Bring him back home.

I’m mainly annoyed at the players trying to gee up the fans after equalising and then having zero urgency. Especially Maddison and Vicario. It stems from the tactics snd management, but take some responsibility. Useless.

Reform UK now have as many MPs as the Green Party.

I’m always impressed by how BBC keeps its web archive, exactly how it looked at the time. That can’t be easy.

I bet Zelenskyy is going to miss the pockets in those cargo trousers when they win and he goes back to wearing suits.

The New European, prescient as always.

There has been a lot of chatter today about Zelenskyy's meeting with Trump, some regarding this moment when White House correspondent Brian Glenn asked if the Ukrainian president plans to wear a suit. I want to address idea in this thread. 🧵

Utterly extraordinary: required reading. Share, please

Here's the speech if you haven't heard it. 13 minutes of your time. Share it with your American friends and neighbours, because they won't see it otherwise. Circulate it in Mexico and Denmark, France and the UK, Panama and Germany, Poland and Estonia, and especially -- especially -- Ukraine.

Oof.

Wow. Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde fearlessly calls out Trump and Vance to their faces. This is heroic. (posting in 3 parts due to Bluesky's 1 minute limit)

Hey I called it
