Every single one of the astronauts who went to the moon and back on Artemis II was educated at a public school.
Thinking of the teachers who poured into Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch, and Jeremy Hansen tonight. You helped send a kid to the moon!

Absolutely remarkable statement from Pope Leo today.
One for the history books

“We want to live in a free, European Democracy. After 16 years of sorrow, corruption and Russian influence. We have had enough”
The organisers & singers at the massive Budapest concert told me why Orban has to go.
Tens of thousands chant “Russians, go home!” at tonight’s anti-Orbán concert in Budapest’s Heroes’ Square ahead of Sunday’s Hungarian election.

This is russian “truce.” Always has been.
Just to remind the world that a ceasefire agreed with a despot* is worthless and in the case of #ukraine it’s imperative that Europe (incl. the UK) provide air cover NOW!

Bruce Springsteen is making me a fan... Opening his concert in Los Angeles yesterday, worth the wait to see the transition to the opening song 90 seconds in. ✌️❤️🇺🇸 #Resist
russia’s attacks last night were launched right before the so-called Easter Truce should’ve came into power.
But the only power russia knows is terror. And everything russia promises is a lie.
The only way to stop these attacks is air defense:

I love when he accidentally tells the truth!
Viktor Orban is waging cognitive warfare on a scale no one else has tried before. "Emotions are high because the stakes are high. If he succeeds, he will once again blaze a path that others will follow. And if he loses, an era comes to an end."

I've just signed a petition calling on the UK government to give British businesses a better deal with Europe. Add your name: www.europeanmovement.co.uk/single-marke...
Matt Goodwin said in a post on X: “Welcome to the UK. Where you go to prison for 18 months for anti-immigration tweets. This is insane.”
No. What is insane is shrugging off incitement to racial murder.
Put this man in the bin, not the House of Commons.

Good meeting with Keir Starmer in Munich.
Europe and the UK share similar challenges.
it is natural that we work closer to protect our people and common interests.
We had a successful summit last year - let's keep the momentum and deliver at the next one.
The Government is sending King Charles to the US to celebrate their 250 years of independence. There’s little cheer though for Americans (unless you’re part of Trump’s kleptocracy). Will you add your name to the petition to cancel this state visit?

Rubio just made a speech to the European defense community in Munich that did not mention Ukraine. Or democracy. Or US business deals with Russia. Or the administration's plans to support the European far right. But there were lots of nice words about our common civilization.
Screenshot of Tommy Ten Names, claiming he's afraid and fleeing the UK.
Just checking, it's now ok to flee your homeland, because you're afraid for your safety, and seek refuge in another Country?
Glad we've cleared that up. Let's hear no more about immigration and refugees then.

“apricity This is one of the many words in the Oxford English Dictionary that were recorded only once before fading away like a linguistic mayfly. Apricity, from 1623, means the warmth of the sun on a winter’s day. The word is as beautiful as the sensation it describes. @susiedentwords.bsky.social !
