We had an excellent meeting with President Zelenskyy
in Cyprus today.
Ukraine's brave resistance against Russia is unwavering. So is Europe's support.
In light of Ukraine's sustained reform effort, accession talks should start without delay.

Love to know which Tory donor via what oblique investment vehicle, had an interest in this firm.
And who were among the central figures in this contract? Suella Braverman and Robert Jenrick. Both now bleating about tHe cOrrUpT eStAbLiShMeNt from Reform's ranks.

Beggars belief that Met Police is in talks with #Palantir about giving them access to highly sensitive data, when there’s already such concern over its links with ICE & Israeli military. Palantir already has UK contracts worth over £500m, incl. with NHS. We should be scrapping them not signing more
Lots of "commentators" are rewarded for spreading lies and convincing you that everything is getting worse and you should be afraid. The good news is it's not: homicides at their lowest level in 50 years and killings involving a knife are at their lowest recorded level

Marcus Rashford grew up relying on breakfast clubs. Without them, he says he would not be a footballer. His story is powerful, but it is also a proof of concept. School meals are not a cost. They are an investment in human potential that delivers returns across health, education and the economy.
Politicians just seem to have given up trying to explain the world as it is to people. It's a huge problem.
The fuel shortage has left me depressed about British politics in a way I never have been before, in that not a single party has avoided either saying or doing something incredibly stupid and completely removed from how anything actually works.
Their friends, richer.
None of them seems to have an idea about where we fit in a changing world as a mid sized power with a legacy ageing infrastructure, and a political system designed for the 18th century.
There’s a huge gap, for someone.
If ever there was a moment for a British politician to set out their vision for the future of the country, it is now.
Do we hear any of them even try to do it?
We get a mess of proposals to manage and tinker with what we have now. Some contradictory, some coincidentally likely to make them and…
I think we’re at the stage where we need two separate governments. One will be there to deal exclusively with allegations relating to Peter Mandelson. This will be the main British government. And then there’s a secondary administration that does all those little things like running the country.
The Earth doesn’t need saving. We do.
The planet will survive us. It’s run 4.5 billion years without humans. Earth Day is about saving the conditions that keep us alive: stable climate, clean water, breathable air. Protect your home. #OnlyOneEarth

Meta is logging its workers’ every keystroke to train the AI that will replace them.
Extract what workers know. Model it. Cut the workers.
This is happening because governments are letting it happen. On this. On Palantir. On facial recognition.
Inaction is still a choice. And someone is making it.

🚨 The UK is unprepared for the growing impacts of extreme weather. That’s exactly why the Climate and Nature Crisis Caucus is putting adaptation firmly on the political agenda. We can’t afford to keep reacting after the damage is done. 👉 thecncc.org
RFK Jr talking about the need for doctors to know how to treat measles for those who are unvaccinated.
“Only very sick kids should die from measles.”
No. They shouldn’t. That was the point of the vaccine. We eradicated the virus so children didn’t die.
Sick & disabled kids are not expendable!
She warned the world before it was ready to listen.
Rachel Carson exposed the dangers of pesticides and helped launch the modern environmental movement.
Scientist. Author. A mind behind the science that saved lives.

A mum and a child sit on a brown leather sofa. The child holds a stuffed elephant. A news headline on the image reads: "Breaking News: Temporary accommodation linked to deaths of 104 children in England in six years."
This is absolutely harrowing.
The housing crisis is pushing families into dangerous housing that's putting their very lives at risk.
The UK government MUST take urgent action, by making sure people can access safe, truly affordable homes and unfreezing Local Housing Allowance.
The chief executive of @wildjustice.bsky.social
said: “While #NaturalEngland dithers and ‘reviews processes’, irreplaceable wildlife sites are being trashed, damaged, and even built over. That is not a technical failure, it’s a dereliction of duty.”

Trump is having an annus horribilis: the presidential illusionist is no longer so spellbinding and losing his power to create Trumpian alternative realities.
open.substack.com/pub/historyn...
Trump's rantings ask us to suspend any basic understanding of the laws of war, including what it means to have a ceasefire and to operate a blockade.
The US appears to suggest one can have a cease-fire and a militarily enforced blockade at the same time. It is worth reminding everyone of the Definition of Aggression (1974): the blockade of another state's ports is an act of aggression.
