On this day in 2019, I witnessed one of the coolest things ever. A lenticular cloud lit-up by a setting sun over the Perito Morena Glacier in Argentina.

It’s not just the remarkable 63% who say they’d vote to rejoin the EU. It’s also the fact that this figure continues to rise slowly but steadily.
Brexit has failed and is seen to have failed. And geopolitics brings Britain and its neighbours, with whom it shares interests & values, closer together.

Our new report finds that Brits support rejoining the EU.👏🇪🇺

Time to open discussions to rejoin the EU fully. Maximise the benefit
- put ourselves back in the strategic heart of Europe.

Events & geopolitics requires it.

This is now supported by a majority overall, and more than 80% of Labour, Green & Liberal voters.

Vance, the deputy harbinger of doom visited only few days ago- and Orban’s polling dropped 3% - let’s hope this is the start of the end for right wing authoritarianism.

‘They singled out non-white, foreign-born workers’: the restaurants raided by Britain’s version of ICE They’re not armed and they keep a relatively low profile.

Time for UK ICE to be investigated and prosecuted where necessary for exceeding their powers.

Ministers delay new rules for low-carbon housing in England Homes built from March 2028 will produce 75% less greenhouse gas emissions than those built according to existing 2013 standards

Lobbying by house builders again weakens proposals, despite the current war underlying the folly of dependency on gas, and need to reduce C02e.

Really is time to find a government with a backbone.

Love Actually? Washington’s current relationship with Britain is more like Contempt Actually | Timothy Garton Ash If the UK wants to regain serious respect in the world, it needs its European leg as well as its transatlantic one, says Guardian columnist Timothy Garton Ash

I doubt Kier will, but his successor needs to do exactly this.

“This means helping to build up European defence, especially through the Europeanisation of Nato, and it means – as London’s mayor, Sadiq Khan, has just usefully suggested – rejoining the EU”

The thing about the track record of the likes of Gove and Farage is that on multiple important issues they have objectively failed. They can argue whether the failure was because of the original idea, the execution, or sheer bad luck, but the good things they said would happen have not materialised.

Starmer, Mahmood and Cooper are all probably in a huddle wondering what grounds they can invent for having the @greenparty.org.uk proscribed as a danger to their authoritarian corporatist objectives.

WATCH THIS !!! 👀👀👀
These figures make it clear that Starmer's timid "reset" doesn't come close to repairing the damage done by Brexit. We need to stop these baby steps and take an adult leap now – back into the Single Market and later into the whole EU.
#Rejoin 🇬🇧🇪🇺

The UK is listed 🤢. We've seen watching this decay since Badenoch, Farage, Johnson, Truss, Labour, terfs, flag shaggers put their Brexit and toxic oars into our democracy.

The media's increase of anti-trans articles towards trans people, refugees, womens rights are the barometers.

Revealed: UK’s multibillion AI drive is built on ‘phantom investments’ Exclusive: Rented datacentres and unrealised supercomputer site raise questions for Starmer’s push to ‘mainline AI into veins of economy’

A bubble, is bubbling, getting bigger daily. It will burst.

But in the real world it’s killing jobs especially of young graduates in the UK.

UK Gov dithers over effective regulation, & has no thorough assessment of its impact or clear mitigation measures.

The impact of Brexit on immigration to the UK A new analysis finds that Brexit raised the number of foreign-born workers in the UK by about 200,000, but resulted in a more dramatic shift in the countries of origin.

The impact of Brexit on UK immigration - new research by @johnspringford.bsky.social & me for @centreeuropeanref.bsky.social & @ukandeu.bsky.social

Brexit

a) reduced EU-origin employees by 785K (2.3% of workforce)
b) increased non-EU origin employees by 992K (2.95%)

Yep; until this is reversed our *cost of living crisis* i.e. the symptom of extractive structural exploitation will continue.

Mexico's President Sheinbaum opposes US and Israel illegal war; "The UN has stopped fulfilling its role ... Countries with greater military power prevail, that cannot be." "It's not about who opposes or supports a regime; it's about civilians who pay for it, the bombing of a school full of girls."

Spain is leading the way declaring.

NO to violations of international law.
NO to the illusion that we can solve the world’s problems with bombs.
NO to repeating the mistakes of the past.
NO TO WAR.

Be more Spanish.

A lone battle: Why is Pedro Sánchez the only European leader to take on Trump? As the Spanish PM decries the war in Iran, other politicians are unable – or unwilling – to speak against the US president

Clarity, integrity and perspicacity.

Europe needs to find its power, unify and coalesce behind a principled position.

The UK needs to reverse its disastrous decision to leave the EU, and commence serious discussions to rejoin.

Then federalise.

National security threatened by climate crisis, UK intelligence chiefs due to warn Report by joint intelligence committee delayed, with concerns expressed that it may not be published

The UK government tried to get their intelligence community to shush because they were told this. When your SPIES are being loud about anything, you should pay attention.
National security threatened by climate crisis, UK intelligence chiefs due to warn www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Spain’s Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez on Iran:

“Remember that one can be against a hateful regime, as is the case with the Iranian regime, as is the whole of Spanish society, and at the same time be against an unjustified, dangerous military intervention outside of international law.”

We're now living in a retirement community dictatorship. Trump's making war from his Florida vacation home absent compliance with the Constitution or an effort explain his war of choice to the American people. Trump may pay a huge political price for such an illegal, and casual, use of our military.

Green party wins Gorton and Denton byelection, pushing Labour to third place in blow to Keir Starmer Hannah Spencer elected as party’s first MP in northern England, as Labour sees a 25.3% drop in vote compared to 2024

Congratulations Hannah, and Green Party.

Hope & decency wins through. Reform’s candidate, and policies of hate, do not win.

Starmer needs to go, and the party needs to find itself again, which it can’t under his flawed leadership.

Thank you to Greenland for providing emergency medical care to a US sailor on board the submarine, since we did not have adequate resources in the area to treat him. I’m sorry that our president felt the need to cover up our shortcomings with a deranged ghost hospital ship post.

Tactical voting groups say greens - not labour - will stop Reform in byelection.

On Thursday only Greens can beat Reform in Gorton and Denton. And we will beat their hate with a message of hope.

On Thursday help us make hope normal again.

Trump has suffered major losses recently — in both federal courts and the court of public opinion.

It's why he lashes out at the media, spreads lies, attacks his political enemies, and tries to rig elections.

These are the actions of a tyrant with his back against the wall.

Be warned.
