A neat construct I just used and should remember for a future post... the UK public want to go back to before 2016, Nigel Farage and the Brexiters want every day to 24 June 2016, Labour politicians are terrified of rerunning 2018-9, and Andy Burnham has to deal with 2026s challenges.

...unfortunate subscribers to the fastest growing dedicated substack on the subject (a field of one, I believe) will also be hearing more about the latest developments in UK-EU relations very soon... rejoinrejoin.substack.com

Brrexit. It would have all gone so well if only the Remain camp hadn't stopped it.

Part of why I’m spending a bit of my time churning out an autobiographical novel is because of the uncertainty of the future. If we’re scattered, cast into darkness or killed, I may not get another chance. Read it. You might like it. Getting good reviews. psychopete1.substack.com/p/what-is-my...

You think we won’t forget 9/11? January 6? The shame of #Ftrump & #FMAGA supporters will also live forever! #VoteBlueToSaveAmerica

Pink is right about a lot things … especially this. #Ftrump is a hideous human, but the people who still enable & support him are worse. #FMAGA #VoteBlueToSaveAmerica

Our $2M investment in the Sea Cliffs Exhibit Renovation Project has gotten a pretty clear seal of approval.

Some of the most meaningful moments on the campaign trail have been spending time up in the Sault with the Bay Mills and Sault tribes. We must protect tribal sovereignty, protect our Great Lakes, and ensure everyone can get a good job and know that our basic rights and dignities are preserved.

The allegations against Donald Trump for sexual assault seem to have a common denominator: He is physically violent and intentionally inflicts pain on his victims. He likes to slam women and girls up against doors and walls as he roughly manhandles them. Donald Trump is a sick and twisted person.

And also boys! The truth will come out about this. It's funny after "Lady G" is gone. People took the guy victims seriously. "So he was GAY"/s

Oh, man, he's so close to getting it.

Yesterday we brought the spirit of the beautiful game to life at the Cost of Living Classic, where New Yorkers came together for an afternoon of free soccer and friendly rivalries.

Last week, we celebrated Eastern European heritage at Gracie Mansion, because the story of New York City cannot be told without the story of our Eastern European neighbors.

NEWS --> Dems are planning novel ways to wield power of the purse against Trump's corrupt prosecutions of critics like Ilhan Omar if they win House. Reps Pramila Jayapal and Jamie Raskin tell me a range of aggressive tactics will be deployed. Details in my new piece: newrepublic.com/article/2171...

“You’d much rather have Obama campaigning for you than Trump” 👀🤷🏼 (H/T @atrupar.com )

First Serbia, and now an even more seismic election result for the geopolitics of now. Hard to overstate how important Brazil bucking the far right trend in Latin America is - also a huge blow to Trump www.theguardian.com/world/2026/o...

WATCH: “I FINDS THAT ALARMING. THIS IS Y’ALL’S JURISDICTION.”🤔 Rep. @jrclemmons.bsky.social can’t believe @GovBillLee’s TDEC is oblivious to a bill Republicans (Brent Taylor!) just passed protecting DATA CENTERS from state regulations… as they push to make things even easier on them.

Elon Musk has spent more money on American elections in the last two years than George Soros has in his entire life.

Nothing and no one should stand between New Yorkers and their right to vote — least of all the government.
 Early voting is happening now through November 1. Election Day is November 3. See you at the polls!

President Zelenskyy's planned visit to Brussels this week for high-level talks with the US, EU and NATO has reportedly been cancelled. Dmytro Lytvyn, Zelenskyy's comms adviser, told reporters on Monday that Kyiv could no longer confirm the visit because of changes to the American side's plans.

In light of trump's special envoy, Jared Kushner, his son-in-law, being involved in several corrupt acts - Kushner taking bribes from Saudi and UAE: Kushner also failed to disclose himself as an agent of a foreign government, having been paid nearly $2 billion in total by foreign leaders: CORRUPT

In his acceptance speech, Lula says he will work to regulate digital platforms in Brazil. “Digital crimes must be dealt with like real-life crimes.” This comes after Meta directly interfered with the Brazilian elections, favouring Flávio Bolsonaro.

Congrats to Lula on overcoming Mark Zuckerberg and Donald Trump to defeat Hospital Pervert Jr., even as his opposition literally blocked off roads and turned off bus service during election day. Fascists are scary but they are always, 100% of the time, ultimately gigantic fucking losers.

Doesn’t matter how you voted if you were front and centre in a Brexit government, actively overseeing the shrinking of our economy, our influence and our opportunities, while you rolled around in the trough. We’ll be disregarding everything you now say, thanks.

I think Mr Rhyming Slang can go do one 🤨 www.theguardian.com/politics/201...

The shift away from the US continues. Ten countries have now signed on for Macron’s Forward Deterrence initiative, including the UK, Germany and Poland, WSJ reports. Under the plan, France would station nuclear-capable fighter jets across Europe as trust in the US erodes.

EL-SAYED: I get that the President takes personal offense to my first name. He doesn't mind as much when it's the Saudis who are funding his son-in-law's private equity. Doesn't seem to mind as much when it's the Qataris who are giving them a $400 million private jet.

The President of the United States spent his Sunday night writing a 1,300-word rant about Bill Maher. Not the economy. Not the wars. Not the midterms. Bill. Fucking. Maher.

Goodnight 🌙

Personally absolutely in favour of a pedestrianised Oxford Street and it is likely to mean I go there more often. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

I was having conversations with journalists just a few months ago about whether democracy was doomed. Look at this year: Orban defeated. Vukic defeated. Bolsonaro Jr defeated. Trump heading to likely defeat in midterms. That’s the beauty of democracy. Voters can respond. Don’t count it out yet.

Adam Schwarz: Lula victory speech: "We had to overcome foreign interference through digital platforms, which we will have to regulate. We cannot have monstrously huge corporations earning millions & billions, paying no taxes to this country & trying to steer this country's election results."

… and wrt free speech:
