The euro, eh? It needs to be argued for as an integral part of Europe, as aspirational, by pro-Europeans Incidentally, @mikegalsworthy.bsky.social is a genuine democrat and his reply to the piece is well worth resding Me in @eastangliabylines.co.uk 👇 eastangliabylines.co.uk/news/brexit/...

Essential reading. "Surely it is easier to make the case for European unity than explain all this away?" Time for us all to get this. Mike's reply might help us all to get there.

We’re mad as hell and we’re not going to take it anymore‼️ As millions of us swelter in dangerously hot workplaces, schools, hospitals, public transport and homes, we discover the UK Government plans to spend £264 billion on carbon capture and storage by 2050. Yes, £264 BILLION‼️ 1/4

In case this has been missed, this article from @georgemonbiot.bsky.social is so vital. Yes it debunks Carbon Capture. But it also tells us about the fossil fuel industry, their strategy, how our govt is captured. Let's change this. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

A sad and not a little shameful day for a once serious party. www.telegraph.co.uk/politics/202...

Burnham to focus defence depending on UK firms, the times reports. Good if he avoids US firms of course. But Europe needs to buy European, agreeing which suppliers will supply which defence sectors.On defence, playing the Buy British card seems to misunderstand what is needed from European countries

@restispolitics.bsky.social Latest with the great @mehdirhasan.bsky.social So, farage not having been properly held to account - but why? Sure, right wing press. But surely, the real talking point is that the UK media has felt since Brexit it must be 'fair' to Brexit/populists. This is the issue.

Good to see this still progresses... interesting angles, but brand in place of certification has not worked in tech I might suggest.

Heard LD MP on the Westminster Hour say maybe we should rethink the new jet fighter project, as no pilots will be needed soon. Similarly, maybe it's time to can Trident, since it's now clear the US has control of our not-so-independent nuclear deterrent? Do deal with France? Big savings?

Exactly 10 years since the Brexit vote, the verdict is in.

10 years anniversary of the Brexit referendum. What a joke.

#bbcaq Amazed to find myself agreeing with Fraser Nelson twice. First, are we all really sure that swapping leaders is worth the risk, cost? Starmer can't win? Really? But more on The World Tonight. Just unbelievable BBC decision to axe the last intelligent daily news show on Radio 4. Gutted.

#theworldtonight being axed? #bbcr4 Tragedy. Each step by BBC a further blow to those who love it.

Michael Grade sounds like a racist from a 1970s sitcom unfortunately he was until recently head of Ofcom . For him GB News reps. the ‘white majority ‘ & should be protected at all costs,those costs being journalistic truth , integrity, fairness ,impartiality, accountability.Grade sees their defence

UK government: ban X now! action.eko.org/a/uk-governm...

Nice thing to see on my way home.

“The pure air of sovereignty” Allowing foreign-based billionaires to whip up racist riots on our streets and fund fascism in our politics. Peachy. Thanks again Brexit. And every single complicit politician and media ‘patriot’. app.independent.co.uk/2026/06/13/2...

#r4today tugendhat spouts usual nonsense about net zero. Sad.

This is obvious. Of course. Utterly appalling that any officials have stayed on twitter. The moment the algorithm was being manipulated for political gain by the owner (a fascist), all should have immediately left. Insane. Surely now involvement in twitter must end.

You are either on the side of the violent fascists or opposed to them. This is the predictable end result of their actions. This will be the justification for their politics.

From Yuval Noah Harari, via Katrin Bennhold at the New York Times: Think about A.I. as a new form of immigration, he said — only this wave of immigration is going to be more intense than anything that’s come before it. 1/2

Exactly this. Muppets

Trump, between 2025 and 2026 alone, as an individual, has embezzled more money and accepted more bribes than every single Mexican politician have collectively done in the last 30 years.

A platform backed by Peter Thiel and advised by Donald Trump Jr. is taking anonymous crypto bets on UK elections, missile strikes and the death of world leaders. In Britain no regulator will touch it A Nerve explainer by @tuckerian.bsky.social www.thenerve.news/p/polymarket...

🧵 Will appeasement work? We'll never completely be sure, bc we only ever get to see one history, that which happened. The rest is speculation. We know failed examples (1939). At least, we should get something in return, right? Is what we get worth it? We know with hindsight. #GoodMorning, everyone.

Meiselas: Katie Miller has been posting about you. I want to give you the opportunity right now to respond. What do you want to say to her? Paulina Mangubat, Content and Creative Director for @TheDemocrats: I want Katie Miller to know that her husband is an ugly fuck.

Fraid this is right....

#r4today what a load of rubbish from Blair. He makes some ok points, but on substance, he seems to have lost his self-awareness that he is compromised, that he is being used by the oligarch populists & crazies as reputation wash. Worse - yes the opportunity of AI, but not provided by authoritarians

Peter Oborn's To-Do list, for the UK govt. - end party donations - public service/civil service - regulate newspaper ownership and sort ofcom/cttee on business appts - implement PR - Royal commission on Brexit Risk for the govt, but if done well, a completely diff feeling and perhaps save Britain.

Please tweet this far and wide. This isn't a failure of vetting. It's an example of who reform are. Anyone who wants the country governed by people like this, should vote reform. There are plenty. But hopefully some who are considering might have their eyes opened.

Well said, Bruce...

The Rejoin Ramble starts tomorrow, wish them luck on their 320km journey from London to Brussels. Details in the comments, also details of the National Rejoi March in London on 20/6/26 So please share and donate if you can - thank you

#r4today we already are exploiting the north sea, Robinson. More nonsense on this, feeding the general publics misunderstanding of the situation. Well done the interviewee, who makes clear sticking with existing fields is the best policy.

Just love this

Another post Andy Burnham Mirror poll Should the U.K. rejoin the EU 62% for Yes at present. www.mirror.co.uk/news/politic...

Political leaders of all parties need to show they will not tolerate racism. Ted Heath did the right thing with Enoch Powell fifty years ago - modern political leaders should do the same.

#r4today irresponsible as usual from trumpy Webb. "So you won't rule it out long-term" (rejoining EU). Pathetic. Populist. Prat

Nice. Spot on.

The dawn of 24/7 solar power. According to the FT, utility-scale battery storage costs have dropped more than 50% since 2022. That cost curve is now enabling large-scale “always-on” renewable systems that combine solar, wind and storage to deliver power day and night. www.ft.com/content/b5c5...

Just listen the that applause!💥💥💥 Here's Wes Streeting hammering Brexit and talking about rejoining the EU. It's a very well written statement, but what's more interesting is the passionate reaction and applause from his audience. The issue of rejoining isn't going away! #RejoinEU 🇬🇧🇪🇺

Who looks at these flags on roundabouts and lampposts and feels pride? Far right thugs and racists. And who looks at them with fear and loathing? Everyone else. National flags are being used as Nazi bunting by Reform and the far right. Let’s call this what it is. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

Ok...so Jess Philips letter seemed to be a perfect example of the issues Starmer had - dithering, not acting, worrying too much what big tech and other influential groups may think. Maybe the opposite? Jess just falling for the quick fix of a tech's marketing and fearmongering?

Yup...thoughts: labour don't dare tell the country what they've done on the 'wealth' tax front for fear of upsetting those who want no taxes. More broadly, the strategy of working hard but not telling anyone isn't working: angry victims and also angry beneficiaries of all their work.

6 PMs in 10 years. What started this debacle? Brexit. Economy been stuffed, but most importantly 52% of the country were sold a fantasy of lies. That's the issue that has stuffed us ever since. Honesty needed to lance the boil.

The Burnham plan is a disaster. The mp in the "perfect" seat for him says no way, not standing down. Even if/when am mp agreed, think of the future Reform etc can stir up to crash Burnham getting elected. Burnham should be off the table until the next general election. It's all just fantasy.
