President Trump privately railed against GOP lawmakers over blowback from a racist video depicting the Obamas as apes, sources say. https://cnn.it/3O8d0FL

You[Europe]need to prepare yourselves before war comes to you.In this,we Ukrainians are your best partners,because we already live in the future of war- Oleksandr Falshtynskyi,Chief of Medical Service of the 7th Rapid Response Corps of the🇺🇦 Air Assault Forces,at the Munich Security Conference:

The lesson for Europe is clear, as it has been for a year, we cannot depend on the US for security.

Today Farage again echoed Russian propaganda that by overthrowing an autocratic & corrupt president, and seeking a European future, the people of Ukraine undermined democracy and provoked Russian invasion. Farage clearly on the side of autocracy, not democracy! www.theguardian.com/politics/liv...

Utterly vile - Farage not only spouting Kremlin propaganda but denigrating the memory of those who died in the fight for democracy at Maidan

Merz: Russia's GDP currently amounts to about €2 trillion.That of the EU is almost ten times as high.And yet today,Europe is not ten times stronger than Russia Our military,political,economic and technological potential is enormous. But we are still far from exploiting it to the extent necessary

German Chancellor Friedrich Merz said the war in Ukraine will end only when Russia is exhausted at least economically, and preferably militarily. Speaking at the Munich Security Conference, he said Berlin is ready to talk, but Russia is not yet willing to engage seriously. #Ukraine

Great to see my friend Christina Pagel featured in the THE for her work on tracking Trump's authoritarian actions. "Scientist behind Trump Action Tracker uses skills in data collection to look for patterns in president’s seemingly scattergun approach"

🚨BREAKING: The new Representation of the People Bill is here. The Bill aims to "restore trust in our democracy" - but it doesn't even touch the voting system that leaves millions unrepresented. 60% of Brits want to scrap First Past the Post. Tell Starmer to include electoral reform in the Bill ⬇️

Glasgow University Debate: This House Believes that the UK and Scotland rejoin the EU “#Brexit was a crime against the next generation” Watch the debate here youtu.be/Uef68wHhXZg @glasgow.ac.uk @antonmuscatelli.bsky.social @leedseurope.bsky.social @cluthaman.bsky.social @fife4europe.bsky.social

Figures out today show the UK economy expanded by only 0.1% in the final three months of last year. The answer is clear: we must join the customs union and single market

🟥 GD has passed another set of repressive legislative amendments at first reading. 🆘 It expand the definition of “grant”, placing almost any form of political expression under state control and criminalizing it if an individual receives funding from a "foreign power". #RepressionInGeorgia

The world has changed. The Brexiter vision of the UK as a buccaneering free-trade nation has foundered on the reality of 21st century great power geopolitics. Europe did not seek this ruptured world, but it must confront it. It's time to rejoin the EU! www.theguardian.com/world/2026/f...

The UK will provide new air defense missiles and systems worth over £500 million ($682,2 million) to strengthen Ukraine's air defense, Defence Secretary John Healey announced. Thank you,UK! "This is Britain being a force for good in the world, building a new deal for European security within NATO"

John Healey, UK Defense Secretary: ​"We can pressure Putin and we can agree peace, but only if we step up together. And so together, I can confirm at today's UDCG, we pledged a total of $35 billion worth of new military aid for Ukraine." Thank you partners 🤝

Many thanks to Dr Marzia Maccaferri @marzmac.bsky.social for a fascinating talk on populism in Italy. She discussed how Giorgia Meloni's government has remained surprisingly stable by balancing the angry shout with a more traditional ordered political agenda, against an opposition in some disarray.

Robert Peston, "Are you firmly in favour of rejoining the European Union?" Zack Polanski, "Firmly very much in favour" "Brexit has been a disaster under any criteria, under any measure" "Whether its economically, socially, culturally"

There is no need to look across the Atlantic for trade when we have the largest free market on our doorstep - Europe. The Chancellor is right, economic gravity is reality, and repairing our trade ties with Europe should be a priority: we can start by rejoining the single market and customs union.

Last night Russia carried out another large ballistic missile and drone attack on Ukraine, targeting heating and power infrastructure. The UK govt yesterday announced £150 billion for the European PURL initiative to buy air defence missiles for Ukraine. kyivindependent.com/russia-targe... (1/2)

Shameful behaviour by the IOC, particularly as several of the fallen athletes commemorated on Vladyslav Heraskevych's helmet were Olympians. Meanwhile 13 Russian, and 7 Belarusian, athletes have been allowed to compete under the so-called "neutral" flag. Remembrance is not a violation.

⚡️'Remembrance is not a violation' — third Ukrainian athlete barred from wearing helmet at Olympics. Short track speed skater Oleh Handei said his helmet bore a line from Ukrainian poet Lina Kostenko: "Where there is heroism, there is no final defeat."

Ukrainian service members have launched a social media campaign to support skeleton racer Vladyslav Heraskevych, who is facing pressure from the International Olympic Committee (IOC) at the 2026 Winter Games. Photo: @73sof_ua; @sof_ua; @tc_uasof; @3rd_regiment_uasof / Instagram.

By a 3-to-1 majority, the European Parliament today approved a €90 billion loan to Ukraine. €60 billion will go to strengthen Ukraine’s defence, and €30 billion for other critical budget support Ukraine will repay the loan only when Russia pays it war reparations. (1/2)

With today’s important vote approving a €90 billion loan, @europarl.europa.eu has delivered a vital lifeline for Ukraine. This will ensure that essential public services can continue, while Ukraine’s defence remains strong.

Repairing our relationship with Europe would boost growth, reduce red tape and reconnect us with our largest trading partner. It's time to return to our rightful place at the heart of Europe.

Now more details in the Epstein files reveal Bannon as part of a successful plot to topple Theresa May with Nigel Farage, Boris Johnson and Jacob Rees Mogg, here’s an article from the archive about Johnson and Bannon’s collaboration bylinetimes.com/2023/04/24/b...

I agree... I feel like i've been pulling my hair out for a decade now about that.

Under pressure from Putin-loving Trump, who tried to steal an election, (likely hoping Zelensky will be kicked out), Ukraine has to work out how to hold a fair election when millions of Ukrainians are displaced and about 20% of the country is under Russian occupation www.ft.com/content/50d3...

It is so embarrassing that it has taken nearly a decade for a British minister to say this, a statement of the absolute bloody obvious

#GeorgiaProtests Day 441 🇬🇪🇪🇺 📷 @protest24.bsky.social

With a growing number of politicians calling for closer ties with our European neighbours, yesterday the Mayor of London, Sir Sadiq Khan, joined them. It is clear - there is widespread public support for repairing our relationship with Europe, and the Government must listen.

💷 Reform UK took Russian money. 🚨 Their former Welsh leader is in prison for Kremlin bribes. 🗳️ Brexit was targeted by Russian interference. This is proven, not theory. Selling out Britain is not patriotism. It is betrayal. Our democracy deserves better. Find out more👇 youtu.be/2aIFYLOJmKM

🇺🇦 Ukraine improved its score in the Corruption Perceptions Index (CPI) by +1 point. In 2025, country received 36 points out of 100 possible and ranked 104th among 182 countries.

Between 2014-2020, approximately 1 in 3 of Erasmus+ funded projects were led by schools in the UK. Erasmus+ benefits young people from a range of ages and backgrounds - and this is just one of the things that makes the project so special.

A recent poll by Opinium, commissioned by European Movement UK, found that 75% of Britons favour joining the Single Market to lower taxes. Rejoining would be a practical step towards economic renewal and a more confident role in the world - we must act soon to prevent any more damage to the country.

It's time to choose a better future for the UK! It's time to reject the Epstein autocrats and their lackeys - Trump, Putin, Farage ... the lot! It's time to rejoin a community of nations that shares our democratic values! Join the National Rejoin March - Saturday 20th June🇬🇧🇪🇺 marchforrejoin.co.uk

Congratulations, António José Seguro, on your election as President of Portugal. The Portuguese citizens have spoken and, in the face of devastation caused by the storms, demonstrated remarkable democratic resilience. Portugal’s voice for our shared European values remains strong.

It turns out that erecting lots of trade barriers with your largest and nearest export and import market is not good for the economy. Well, who would have guessed! Brexit was never going to be a success. It's time to #RejoinEU🇬🇧🇪🇺 www.thelondoneconomic.com/business-eco...

The voters of Portugal have rejected the far-right in today's presidential election. A good result for Portugal and Europe 🇵🇹🇪🇺
