Imagine being a child, separated from your parents, and seeing your last option to reunite with them stripped away by the government. That’s what just happened a few weeks ago.

We won’t let children pay the price — share this video and spread the word.

This is an indication of the kind of political consensus that can be built if Labour makes the right case for breaking its red lines: Uniting right wing concerns about defence & patriotism, left-wing demands for investment & independence from the US, and widely-shared commitments to Ukraine.

Have written about JD Vance’s Munich speech. In what may prove to be the biggest week for European security since 1991, it’s time Europe listened to what Trump and his Vice President are telling us. open.substack.com/pub/goodalla...
We need to listen to what Trump and Vance are telling us.
This may have been the biggest moment for European security since 1991.

This 100%
Writing this with a heavy heart: the refugee citizenship ban is the single most unconscionable policy Labour has proposed since it entered power. It’s the moment that I felt my support for this administration begin to crumble inews.co.uk/opinion/colu...

Returning to my hobby horse of 'don't just say the remarks are offensive, you do actually need to quote them', a particularly bad bit of 'we'll just use this nebulous word offensive' with the Andrew Gywnne stuff is quoting only the PG-friendly stuff explicitly with the rest described as 'offensive'.

Donald Tusk is a true friend of Britain. His dream will one day come true.
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
