Why are the people who accuse those talking about reversing Brexit of "living in the past" never asked about their own plans to rip up an international agreement that was first signed by the UK some 75 years ago?

He's not upset with Norway because it didn't give him the Nobel Peace Prize or because he's an authoritarian and it's a successful social democracy etc. He's upset because his followers expect him to be upset about something and will get bored of him if he isn't. It's just so rote.

“Humanitarian” russians hit a university, a medical facility, and a bridge in Kyiv. One person was killed and 14 were injured. Most of those injured are students. The attack was sponsored by Trump and his supporters.

Every election he and his allies win is totally legit, any election they lose is obviously rigged. 🙄

⚡️ The Trump administration has proposed former Hungarian PM Viktor Orbán for UN Secretary-General, a decision backed by Russia and China, according to The Wall Street Journal. The US State Department estimates Orbán could secure at least eight votes in the UN Security Council.

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."

They called the cops on this 3-year-old Black boy because he was kickin the white kids' ass on the soccer field.

Genuinely I don't know that it comes across to people who haven't been here to watch how almost unbelievable this was, just people taking something that looked impossible and dragging it kicking and screaming all the way to inevitability.

I wonder if Nigel Farage is having the same problems but just not telling us, just as he won't admit to the almost complete non-appearance of all the promised 'Brexit benefits because then he might have to #ApologiseForBrexit "Crazy set of circumstances." via Joshua ABD

Burnham is correct to imply a de facto link between free movement of people and Dublin/Eurodac - all of the non-EU countries agreeing to free movement with the EU are also associated with the Dublin rules. BUT they are all also associated with Schengen. Would the EU insist on it for the UK too?

Matthew Holehouse@matthewholehouse.bsky.social

A possible Zeitenwende from Burnham to Ben Riley-Smith: open to freedom of movement, no to the euro or Schengen

First Orban, now Vučić. Both fundamentally undone by rank corruption of their regimes. Which is so often the reality of the authoritarian right in power. Really worth paying heed to in Western Europe right now

Wow. Vučić has conceded Serbian election. Massive moment for the entire Balkans

The same man who recently decided to condemn hundreds of Ukrainian civilians to die from Russian attacks by disabling Ukraine's ability to counter Russian drone and missile attacks has now been given the role of regulating all satellites in orbit. No bid. No law. Just a gift from Trump and Hegseth.

Internet friends from abroad Meta is known for interfering in many places and we in Brazil are having to fight Mark's Influence Machine that wants us to vote for a candidate that doesn't respect our country's sovereignty (and an alleged criminal) We're doing our best, but pressure Meta as you can

Every election these days seems like an IQ test for humanity. The rainforest is at stake if Bolsonaro wins, and ultimately the future of the entire South American ecosystem. Please Brazil, don't fail this one

Making a throat cutting gesture as a goal celebration. Grotesque, particularly given the amount of knife crime. Will the tabloids go after him the way they went after Raheem Sterling, demand he apologised and gets a 3 match ban? Will they fuck.
