I think people would be a lot more accepting of closer ties with the EU if proper sequencing is followed. in other words: 1. General Election 2. Labour put proposals in manifesto, 3. Labour elected with majority. Otherwise, we just have Makerfield's MP pushing a personal agenda.

Greenpeace abandoned X last year. This was their final UK post. It should be pasted on a billboard somewhere. 😢

I wonder what Putin's next task for Trump will be? Kill the hydra or steal a golden apple?

Breaking: There is a new energy ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine. I haven't told the leaders yet, but whoever breaks it first, it will be Ukraine's fault. Anyone fancy nominating me for a peace prize?

Trust is easily broken but much, much harder to restore. The next #USA administration are going to have a lot of work to do to undo Trump's betrayal of its allies.

Wow, what an absolutely horrible platform @brevo_official has become. From upgrading and taking money without permission to closing accounts with no explanation. I presume there are lots of decent alternatives now #AI has evolved. Feel free to recommend 😊

Why would @StarlingBank go #crypto hostile and hand their main competitor @monzo an edge? Talk about an archaic #TradFi decision from a bank that is otherwise cutting edge.

Apparently @Fly_Norwegian were going to launch an ad featuring a grumpy, money-grabbing bastard but they were worried about exploiting @Erling's personality rights 😏

Seems bizarre that Jordan Pickford can allegedly ignore give way lines, drive 50 in a 30, fail to stop for a cop and then be given a ticket for careless driving by said cop. Surely that's dangerous driving?

The fresh data comparisons make this a must-use website for promotion. #bsv
web3co2.com/ Every Proof-of-Work transaction has a real carbon cost. WEB3CO2 measures it from live network data — and reveals how radically that cost differs between blockchains. It's 5,832 × more carbon-efficient to transact on BSV than BTC. @SmartLedgerTech

They used to teach the 5 Ws of basic journalism, including 'Who'. How the BBC can fail to mention the names of the 5 outlets (#ABC, #NBC, #Fox, #CBS, #CNN ) that are boycotting Trump in an article titled: 'Major US outlets boycott shared Trump coverage...' is beyond me 🤦

What is the logic @udemy in taking away (or hiding) the wish list function on courses? I've been impressed with a tutor and wanted to put a bunch of her other courses on a wish list but just getting aggressive 'you can't access this course' messages and Premium hard sells.

Best way to overcome #emptynestsyndrome is for me to start my #100daysofcode today methinks 😅

FAO @carla_denyer @ZackPolanski HELP! Time to earn your student votes! Rents are rising sharply in #Bristol while wealthy landlords in Clifton mansions are playing the system: holding deposits hostage with false claims knowing that #students can't afford a lengthy dispute process

Nope, I have no idea why the Netherlands have removed $11b of gold reserves from America 🤷‍♂️

What's the point in getting seats in parliament when you stay silent? Plenty of talk from Conservatives and Labour today about the changing #climate and its effect on wildfires, but not a peep from the @TheGreenParty

A lot of talk in parliament by Louise Haigh about ruthlessly driving forward the PMs agenda by streamlining the engine of government. As a reminder, this PM has won a byelection in Makerfield. It's hardly a mandate to bulldoze through a personal political agenda across the UK.

Why is it “Lake Ontario (Lake America)” for the rest of the world? This Executive Order applies only to the US. So let the US see this delusional falsehood alone. It’s Lake Ontario for the rest of the world!

Deliberately driving the wrong way down the motorway has to be a life imprisonment offence going forward. RIP the police officers killed today.
