By refusing to even consider a customs union, Keir Starmer himself is the biggest block to closer ties with Europe.
Unless he changes that stance, this is all just meaningless blather

The irony of the situation is hard to ignore: the country that has done the most to undermine global efforts to combat climate change is feeling the severest of consequences.
“There needs to be unbelievably harsh, unprecedented cuts” that will affect water users in major ways.....Mother Nature is not going to bail us out.”

Piers Morgan on Ratcliffe. I have to agree.
"Aside from his blatant lies/ignorance about UK population numbers, Ratcliffe is an immigrant tax exile in Monaco, and most of his Manchester United team are immigrants to UK. So he’s a stinking race-baiting hypocrite."

Scratch that, it's an AI made up football result. I'll keep looking.
The last occasion I can find a team coming back from 3-0 down in the second tier of English football was Burnley 4-3 Palace in 1996! First time in 30 years! #SaintsFC

I finally got to the end of Thomas Mann's "The Magic Mountain." A 37 hour audiobook marathon. It's an amazing performance by David Rintoul. But, one of the greatest novels of the 20th Century? I think the guy could have used a decent editor. #NotMuchHappens

#Starmer, speaking about the Epstein scandal, implied that "we do justice better in the UK", We're publishing a passionate refutation of that claim from a Harrods abuse survivor. If you have a Labour MP, please send this to them. @jessphillipsmp.bsky.social where is your support for these survivors?
