@discordiankitty.bsky.social this is 💯👌 chock full of great ideas and sensible commentary really hope someone at blizz is listening youtu.be/yq0fYl-Wy0w?...

If Starmer is the problem, Streeting isn't the solution. They need two things in a leader: (a) someone with political sense, (b) someone with charisma.

This deserves reupping, it cannot be overstated. Labour seems fully on track to cock it up completely. I cannot believe that Streeting is even being spoken of a serious contender.

It’s called a Cordon Sanitaire, and it is precisely how all parties committed to liberal democracy, rule of law and respect for human rights should treat far-right, fascist, anti-democratic parties. A media committed to a democratic state should do the same. www.bbc.com/news/article...

None of us alive will experience climate better than what we have now. How much worse it gets is up to us.

Seen the americanism “ouster” in the wild this morning in a UK context. Argh! “Oust” is a transitive verb and an “ouster” is not a thing, but if it were then it would be a person who ousts something, on this hill I will lay down my grumpy life.

Contrary to Labour MPs saying people ‘hate’ Starmer, I don't hate him and their scape-goating of him misses the point. It is Labour policies and Brexit red lines that are the problem and I see no leadership candidate, indeed no Labour MP addressing that.

We lost Douglas Adams 25 years ago today. This has made a lot of people very sad and has been widely regarded as a bad move.

I like how they illustrated a story about Council summits in Brussels with a photo of the Parliament in Strasbourg

It’s been nearly 400 years lads 😅

EU Foreign Ministers just gave the go-ahead to sanction Israeli settlers over violence against Palestinians. They also agreed new sanctions on leading Hamas figures. It was high time we move from deadlock to delivery. Extremisms and violence carry consequences.

People really think the EU wants the UK back as things stand?

It’s so odd that Chris Mason & his colleagues are not inducing a ‘crunch moment’ for Farage. Why is he not obliged to explain how he became an MP pushing cryptocurrency after being given £5 million by a cryptocurrency billionaire? www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

To be crystal clear: “security guarantees to Russia” is a euphemism for providing Ru w carte blanche to interfere, dominate, and, if it deems necessary, invade Eastern Europe. The language of “security” has provided a cover for Ru imperialism since 1991! It needs to stop. No one is threatening Ru!

I stan this account so much 😍

Yes. Somewhat remarkable that such folks seem now to be regarded as a fringe group.

It would be really nice if I could score 456 followers. For no particular reason.

The tale of every single last Reform-led council so far is them discovering that there is no secret Net Zero Department for Pronouns that accounts for 45% of council budgets, panicking, ordering an entire budget surplus worth of flags, and then falling apart in acrimony.

Part of the reason Remain lost the EU referendum in 2016 was a lack of promotion of EU values.The campaign was extremely negative & focused on economics and what privileged Brits might lose. Rejoiners use similar arguments now & despite Brexit not being a success,joining EU is not a priority.

After 12 years, the EU flag is back on Hungary’s Parliament building — the new Speaker’s very first decision. A happy Schuman Day indeed.

Speaking on R4, new Reform Essex councillor Peter Harris says the party will be looking (among other places) at the £43m spent on taxis to schools as part of wider efforts to "potentially reallocate some... funds to meet with our priorities." The bulk of that will be transport for Send pupils.

The thing with this is that in a lot of people’s minds, taxi=luxury non-essential cost. But then someone interviews the parent of a SEN child who has meltdowns and for whom a taxi is the only workable they can access school, and suddenly it’s not quite so simple. See also… everything else.

I disagree. We already had our Donald Trump, he was Boris Johnson. Farage is something much worse, just as whatever comes after Trump will be much worse.

Forget the silly marches in Moscow, it's Europe Day today Britain and Ukraine may be on opposite sides of our continent but we are as close as two nations can be in spirit I look forward to the future UKraine accession to the EU

If you’d like my illiberal hot take it’s that nobody should be allowed to vote unless they’ve passed an emotional intelligence test. :p If you’re so emotionally stunted that you can’t empathise with your fellow humans then you shouldn’t have a say in the lives of those fellow humans.

It always amazes me that a European town with the population of Aldershot gets treated by the international community as a full peer of China and the United States because of an historical and legal anomaly that left it a sovereign state. #Liechtenstein 🇱🇮
