When I see commentators using terms like “DEI” I immediately suspect that they’re trying to ignite a US inspired (and maybe funded?) culture war here. Because the acronym used in the UK is EDI - equality, diversity, inclusion - linked to the equality act 2010. www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2010/1...

What happens if a UK government removes benefits from EU citizens in breach of the withdrawal agreement? My analysis of the likely EU response to Reform Party policy, if ever enacted - eulawanalysis.blogspot.com/2026/08/what...

Meanwhile, in Germany, the public weighs in on what they think of the Epstein Administration. #BrutalButAccurate

My bet wld be there's no chance of an A49 application even being considered (let alone accepted) as long as der Führage is even mentioned as a possible (likely) future PM. What wld be the point? 🇪🇺has wasted enough time+money on Brexit.It has enough serious candidates (e.g. Moldova) to consider,tyvm.

Bij de extreemrechtse figuren anno 2025 hoor je nog wel eens ter vergoelijking: ze zijn nog zo jong. Toen de nazi’s in 1933 aan de macht kwamen waren ze ook jong. Al waren er destijds anders dan nu geen vrouwen bij.

t.me/liveukraine_... Over the past 24 hours, #Russian attacks killed 6 people and injured 28 others across several regions of #Ukraine. ▪️A 60-year-old man was injured in a Russian FPV drone strike in a village in the Polohy district of #Zaporizhzhia region. A minibus was damaged. 1-3

Last year 100,000 people marched across London in support of nature and BBC News didn’t cover it, leading to complaints to Ofcom about political bias. Today BBC News covered a similar size march on front pages and every channel demonstrating fully its political bias. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

I recommend everyone watches this

Sky News says police are "overwhelmed by the numbers". Met coped perfectly well with 2x as many at the pro-Gaza rally, 5x as many at the anti-Brexit march, and 15x as many at London Pride. They're not overwhelmed by the numbers. They're overwhelmed by the ratio of violent thugs in those numbers.

quick thread on how brexit excluded the UK from EUratom and notably EUROfusion, which had a breakthrough recently with Wendelstein 7.x in Germany, edging us closer to limitless, clean & green energy. TL;DR: Brexit Had Nuclear Consequences for britain 1/7

Again, as long ago tweeted, Trump might achieve "victories" over US long trusted *interdependent* allies in the short term, but he has in many ways accelerated America's demise in the medium term. "Europe Finally Saying No to the F-35 - National Security Journal" share.google/u0d58v8MA33p...

I still can't get over how stupid UK was to vote to leave the EU .. To actually choose to make yourselves poorer, with fewer rights & freedoms, less choice for more cost, to see UK breaking apart, descending into ugly English nationalism behind a (still descending) Gammon Curtain

Simon Cowell wants a second Brexit referendum. If you agree vote below. No need to sign up for anything, just vote and make the poll overwhelmingly YES.

10 years ago: we need to leave the EU to stop Farage and maintain the centrist consensus Today: we need to leave the ECHR to stop Farage and maintain the centrist consensus 10 years from now: we need to ban immigration and suspend habeas corpus to stop Farage and maintain the centrist consensus

This feels like Trump went rummaging in his dead cat box for the biggest nastiest one he could find. (In case you didn't hear, he's busy accepting a multi hundred million dollar plane from Qatar as a gift/bribe, which is causing massive waves. This huge distraction will wipe that from the news.)

1/Es ist ein altes Ärgernis, ein grober Gesetzesverstoß: Bei jedem Regierungswechsel gehen massenhaft Dokumente und Unterlagen "verloren", über deren dauerhafte Aufbewahrung allein das Bundesarchiv zu entscheiden hat. Seit es auch um die Archivierung von Daten/e-mails geht, hat

FFS! Blue Labour have lost the plot! We NEED foreign carers. And because Brexit stopped them coming from Europe, the ones who DO come need to be able to bring their family. England needs to crawl back OUT of its Farage rabbit hole, not dig itself deeper down! #RejoinEU 🇬🇧🇪🇺

I guess education about immigration and refugees, the actual truth, data and benefits is too much to ask. Instead we get governments, politicians and media using terms such as ‘illegal’, failed open border experiment, invasion. We should be better than this. www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

It will always remain a mystery to me, why he hasn't done that yet. (I obv know.. etc. But still.)

Mother of autistic boy left with £10,000 debt after breaching DWP carer's allowance rules by £1.92 a week. #HardLabour

Been through a fucker of a cancer scare in recent weeks. Found boob lump. Panicked. Got straight to the docs. Today I got the all clear. CHECK YOUR BOOBS. Especially when lying down. Most are benign, but don’t hesitate to get checked. My amazing tits live to see another day ♥️

The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate. The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns. Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care. The list goes on and on. Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.

37-year-old Viktoriia is one of the victims of a Russian mass drone attack on Dnipro a few days ago. The explosion caught her in her sleep. She was immediately taken to the hospital with a chest injury, brain contusion, and hemothorax.

Starmer wrote in the Express that he is against restoring Freedom of Movement. Please retweet if you want our Freedom of Movement restored. We were robbed of our right to live, work, study, and love in 30 countries by the worst abuses of democracy in modern British history.

A lot of police cars are on Republic Square as well, next to Heroes Square. Police is looking into cars on the road which are going into the direction of the parliament where the evening event will be. A high police mobilization in all around the area. #GeorgiaProtests

Do you know what would raise money and help businesses in the UK @labouruk.bsky.social ? Yep. You got it Rejoining the EU It’s not fvcking rocket science but here you are still pandering to a tiny minority of supertwats and uberracists because you think they’ll keep you in power. They won’t!

They are arresting people on the streets, terminating their visas, and disappearing them for writing things they disagree with. This is where we are. Two months in. Right now. If you think they won’t begin coming after citizens soon, you are mistaken.

BREAKING: Newly obtained footage of the abduction of Tufts student Runeysa Ozturk which includes audio of her kidnappers.

Jerce Reyes Barrios is somehwere in this video below of trafficked & mistreated Venezuelans. Neither his family nor lawyer were told he had been snatched and deported to El Salvador. As well as a clean employment record and no criminal record, he was a kids football coach. What has the US become?

If the Supreme Court ultimately agrees with what the gov't is arguing today, that the President has broad Article II powers that would permit it to deport people & there can be no judicial review, then literally no one is safe.

Most claimed PIP conditions. Oh look you can't fake any of them.

Mike has been a friend of mine since we were young reporters at the @washingtonpost.com in the 1980s. He brims with talent, integrity and commitment to the truth. This is exactly what I expected and he had hoped he could stave off, which is a trash move by trash people. Throw them out.

Classic Gleichschaltung.

Who said the Germans have no sense of humour?

There is no such thing as a "champagne" business in the United States because champagne comes from, well, Champagne

According to JD Vance it’s much more important if the Ukrainian President wears a suit, than Russia killing hundreds of innocent people

What we’re witnessing in America is what happens when disordered discourse captures a political party, then the state itself. The Republican Party was the first to fall - abandoning truth for conspiracy, ideology for grievance, and policy for performative outrage.

Appeal Court *very slightly* reduces sentences on some of the 16 peaceful climate protesters, jailed for total of 41 years. This isn’t justice. People desperate for climate action to save lives treated like organised criminals, while big oil & gas get away with ecocide @defendourjuries.bsky.social

was going to thread this article I wrote today but @bettycjung.bsky.social has done it for me! so here you go :-)

It’s even deeper than that, the politicians weren’t honest with citizens because they weren’t honest with themselves. They didn’t have an incentive - or more impactful, a shock - to face this, and were happy to benefit from US protection. US benefitted too, NATO was European stability on the cheap

🚨 A 73-year-old man was killed, and another local resident injured in a Russian attack on Odesa and the region. At least 20 private homes, a business center, a post office, a medical lab, shops, and cars were damaged or destroyed.
