Closer cooperation with Europe is essential if we want to become more resilient and better able to respond to crises. A deeper and more structured UK–EU defence partnership is not simply an advantage, it is vital.

Alex from our time working together, while he was in nursing school. Later, he moved to ICU, working as a nurse to support critically ill Veterans. He had such a great attitude. We’d chat between patients about trying to get in a mountain bike ride together. Will never happen now

Darren Jones saying repeatedly the Labour Government won't comment on a hypothetical.
It's not hypothetical - Trump is saying very loudly repeatedly what he's done and boasting about it.
And yet the UK Government won't even say it's a breach of international rules. Shameful.

Muting a Black woman to claim the vote was unanimous is so incredibly on the nose
The White House claims the vote to rename the Kennedy Center was “unanimous.” That is false. I was muted on the call and denied the opportunity to speak or register my opposition. That is not consensus. That is censorship.

That's exactly what happens in places like Finland: Cities are tapping the vast amounts of waste heat generated by data centres, and feeding it into district-heating networks.
