Europe 🇪🇺 - Canada 🇨🇦 summit on 29-30 October. One topic is to build US-Bypassing Subsea Cables: build secure, direct subsea telecommunication cables connecting Europe, Canada, and Asia, intentionally diverting critical digital traffic away from US networks.

After the hottest and driest summer on record, environment is not a big issue… Because no political party is taking the issue seriously.

Important: Finnish President Alexander Stubb and Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre held a phone call with Vladimir Putin to discuss Russia's invasion of Ukraine and the ongoing peace talks. The call was "frank and substantive".

Looks like they are leading the negotiations from the civilised world.

Lock 🔒 him up forever.

Repeat after me: Russia has no legitimate security concerns; only its neighbours do. Russia has been the only one invading others.

⚡️ BREAKING: UN report recognizes Russian strikes on Ukraine's energy infrastructure as war crimes and crimes against humanity. The Independent International Commission found Russian commanders ordered the attacks fully aware of the severe impact on civilians.

For those who want to impose the China model on us. 👇

Left: President Trump insults Norway calling it a sh*thouse country Right: Visit Norway, the tourism board, trolls President Trump, displaying some of their best toilets on their Instagram 😅

Trump will choke on the fact America is named after an Italian from Florence who sailed for Spain.

Brazil: defeated Flávio Bolsonaro ordered to surrender passports

I was having conversations with journalists just a few months ago about whether democracy was doomed. Look at this year: Orban defeated. Vukic defeated. Bolsonaro Jr defeated. Trump heading to likely defeat in midterms. That’s the beauty of democracy. Voters can respond. Don’t count it out yet.

EU & Canada 🇪🇺🇨🇦 Building an alliance for the future Montréal, 29-30 October 2026

“The case for Rejoin must be a case for Europe as our home: a continent…prepared to take on and defeat Russian imperialism, an economic union which can shelter countries from the storm of a global trade war” A team we want to belong to. Because it strengthens us all. www.arguably.uk/p/europe-is-...

This is happening twice a day.

Was this on BBC News LIVE as the Farage comments?

Leaving aside whether £ could ever usefully meet € convergence (and do go spend some time in the archives for extensive debate about this in the 1990s), the Commission would be obliged to note in its opinion on an accession application that the UK did not appear to meet Copenhagen 9/

Very good thread. 'We'd like to rejoin - we've changed!' 'How much have you changed?' 'We want our biggest opt-out back...'

Elon Musk has spent more money on American elections in the last two years than George Soros has in his entire life.

Funny how referendums are mainly around matters that deal with Europe, but never on the Monarchy, the role of the Church of England, on water privatisation and so on. Anyway, I’m not sure even what the question would be as freedom of movement is reciprocal. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Feels like we've been here before again and again but Ireland won't let us have Schengen is new to me.

So many shops close at 17.30 so why would someone even consider it?

2/ But don't start celebrating just yet. This is what Serbia is - a house of dying lies and a republic of desolate minds. The media, both foreign and domestic, when they reported on Serbia, focused on issues like corruption and crime, but it is much worse than you think. ⬇️

📊 Research estimates that Brexit has led to shortfall on annual tax receipts of about £40bn. 🤔 Imagine what that money could do for our schools, our new generation of council housing, or for our armed forces...

'Leaving the European Union was the biggest act of economic self harm any country has ever committed' Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, told #BBCBreakfast Andy Burnham 'is spot on' about having an "honest discussion" ove the prospect of returning to free movement between the UK and European Union

Richard Tice honeymoon ruined

Lula: "We had to overcome foreign interference through digital platforms, which we will have to regulate. A crime in the digital world must be treated the same as a crime in the real world. We cannot have monstrous companies earning millions... not paying taxes... wanting to steer elections."

Cc France

This isn't hyperbole or a joke. Parents actually called the cops and got the black boy and his family removed and the league claimed they were trespassing because he was "putting on a show" and wasn't playing "fair."

Thing is, like the previous vote, the anti-Euro feelings are not based on rational considerations, arguments or expert opinion. It’s all sentiment. There are arguments for and against, but we could ‘work towards joining’ conceivably for 50 years, so in practice it’s an *option* for 🇬🇧.

Seven years as an elected politician in English local government, nine years before that as an unelected political activist. So naturally the one and *only* time a post of mine goes viral and gets me followers it's about the politics of a country on a different bloody continent 🤦‍♂️

🧵 on Lula victory in Brazil. Read and learn folks.

After 16 years of budgetary and financial disasters under Viktor Orban, Hungary knows that anchoring their currency to the € is the only viable long term answer. www.euronews.com/2026/10/23/f...

Doesn’t matter how you voted if you were front and centre in a Brexit government, actively overseeing the shrinking of our economy, our influence and our opportunities, while you rolled around in the trough. We’ll be disregarding everything you now say, thanks.

Congratulations to my friend Lula on his electoral victory. Democracy and multilateralism have won in Brazil. Europe’s partnership with Brazil is thriving. We will remain by your side for the years to come.

Vucic out 😜 Albania in flames 🔥 Donald Trump JR former fiancee just lost her ambassadorship in Greece. Trump is not welcome in the Balkans www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Brazilian media has now called Lula’s victory.

ha ha ha ha Wait when Trump finds out Carney is meeting EU’s leaders this week in Montreal for the Canada 🇨🇦 - EU 🇪🇺 summit 😂😂😂

Vucic and Bolsonaro losing in the same day 🤞😜

Lula projected as having the best chance of winning (though Congress is already won for the right in the first round)

Tangible relief in Brussels after Vučić's defeat in the polls. Serbia's democratic backsliding and Russian tilt had become a political liability for the accession process. Serbia has been stuck while other candidates marched ahead. Political change can turn the page.

Ha ha ha ha What a loser

In the wake of events in Belgrade tonight, Americans on here should keep in mind that there are enough signs from Minneapolis to Chicago to South Texas that such civil society mobilisation is possible in the United States too

So among Putin and Trump-backed candidates in Central and Eastern Europe we now have Orban as well as Vucic driven out of power by the kind of popular mobilisation that Putin and Trump do not seem psychologically equipped to understand

This is what the hard right is doing: destroying media freedom. And funny how the BBC doesn’t report on this protest. Only on protests organised by the far right or by the far left.
