Agree, one of his best.
More than a bit 'ick' to say so, I know, but I think this is one of the best, and maybe one of the most important (in terms of the issues involved), of the 460+ posts I've written on this blog over the last 9.5 years.
The new global divide makes Brexit an anomaly. New post on my Brexit & Beyond Blog on the choices facing the UK, what they show about the realities of sovereignty, how they're already changing domestic politics, and what they mean for Brexit:

Been a good day today. From morning to evening, European leaders standing up, all around the world, one after another, and speaking clearly against the Trump/Putin agenda.
President of Finland Alexander Stubb speaking in Kyiv today:

▪️ It’s not Russia who decides on EU membership,its the European Union who does that
▪️ It’s not Russia that decides on NATO membership,it’s the alliance itself
▪️ It’s not Russia that decides on what Ukraine has by its border,when,where&how

On the fifth anniversary of Brexit,

2016: We'd be better off with Brexit
2016: The sun has risen on an independent UK
2023: Brexit has failed
2023: We were more competitive in the EU
2024: Our democracy feels dead

End this economic self harm, rejoin the EU

Donald Tusk: "I am aware this is a dream: that instead of a #Brexit, we will have a #Breturn. Perhaps I am labouring under an illusion. But I'd rather be an optimist and harbour these dreams in my heart. Sometimes they come true in politics." ~AA

Rapprochement doesn't have to be transactional exceptionalist.

It can be positive, European, warm. Even exceptional.

Like Mr @mikegalsworthy.bsky.social

Watch. Hits the target. Outstanding. This is how campaigning should be.
