Question:
What would this unity look like if Reform, the AfD and RN win the next general elections?
This has been Vance, Musk, Bannon and Trump’s plan all along — undermine the democratic unity of Europe by promoting populists to divide and conquer.

This phenomenon and how to help bees over the #winter I will cover in a separate thread.
Hope this has helped increase your understanding of #bees a little.
Thread is a generalisation and there are variances between species and regions.
Please #share among your crew.

My daughter hurt her wrist at the weekend, did an e-consult with the GP on Monday morning, was seen on Monday evening, given a walk in x-ray appointment which she attended yesterday (literally walked in and got it done, no waiting). The NHS is amazing and does seem to be getting better.

Only as a last resort would I suggest expanding the litigation with a counter-claim. Doubles at least the time and complexity and expense and potential for things to go wrong.
Priority must be to shut down case and extract BBC from litigation, not get bogged down.

What small-minded nasty little people the Tory party are now. As if improving workers’ rights means just cost and damage to the economy. What if treating people better, rebalancing the mismatch in power improves productivity and retention? In the end, being decent costs far less than being an arse.

Reading @chrisgrey.bsky.social 's blog today, it is important to address the quality of the work overall.
When the history of Brexit is written in 50 years' time, I have no doubt that this will be one of the must widely used sources
Consider this. It has been weekly/fortnightly since '16

The photos of Starmer greeting Zelenskyy in Downing Street go beyond partisan politics.
They're a reflection of our decency and the respect Zelenskyy enjoys in this country.

So Starmer is doing a deal with the EU to align with food standards, climate targets and accepting ECJ rulings.
He has also agreed to a scheme for 18 - 30 year olds to be able to go live and work in EU countries.
I keep telling you, this is how it will happen.
Trust in the process

Reeves is tangentially related to Labour's Europe problem in exactly the same manner as the rest of the party.
Nothing significant can change without going back to the electorate.

Born #OnThisDay in 1627 was Robert Boyle FRS, Royal Society founder and regarded as one of the first modern chemists. Boyle also wrote a wish list of what he hoped could be achieved through science, including things like 'Attaining Gigantick Dimensions'. What would you like to see science achieve?

Just a week ago the UK media was speculating that Reeves was about to be sacked and who might replace her, all because of largely global movements in interest rates. How and why did the media get things so wrong?
