This incredibly poignant song is made even more horrific by images in this video.

Oh our Minneapolis, I hear your voice
Singing through the bloody mist
We’ll take our stand for this land
And the stranger in our midst

Trump’s speech at @weforum.org today is a series of mind blowing rants of a deranged and unhinged POTUS, built on lies and historical distortion used to support a warped political narrative.
Time for US Leadership to invoke the 25th Amendment of the U.S. remove Trump due to incapacity.

Will the next Pope build on Pope Francis' legacy of a more open, liberal and inclusive leadership of the catholic church or will the cardinals vote to go backwards with a more conservative Pope?

Great to be involved in this conversation yesterday, delving into the impact of cancer in the workplace and why it's such an important topic that needs far more attention and action.👇
4️⃣ An EU study shows that most countries lack legislative frameworks to support cancer patients and survivors to #ReturnToWork.
The impact of cancer in the workplace can no longer be ignored, explains @veronicafoote.bsky.social (@workingwithcancer.bsky.social).

Incredibly shocking news, especially as yesterday Pope Francis attended Easter Sunday mass at St Peter’s.
Pope Francis was an enlightened individual within a conservative community, who championed acceptance and embraced all. RIP 💜

Scarily accurate in its Trump predictions, even from the last few days. Although there is a sense of foreboding, we are beginning to see some form of checks and balances will kick in, from the US institutions and private sector

Take US's goods trade deficit with X country, divide it by total amount of goods imported from that country. Cut % in half equals US's
"reciprocal" tariff rate.”
Eg. Bangladesh: US imported $8.4bn in 2024, giving it a $6.2bn trade deficit with the country. 6.2 divided by 8.4 is 0.738. Tariff is 37%

Very respectable half time score for Italy when you consider they are playing away at Twickenham, putting pressure on until the 40th minute. Great game of rugby so far! Could Italy been in for a landmark victory? 🏴🏉🇮🇹

President Zelensky, a war time leader & hero, has defended Ukraine & European eastern flank from an aggressive invader for three years with dreadful loss of life.

Almost 20 European leaders, incl Emmanuel Marcon & Friedrich Merz, plus VDL, have posted in support of @ZelenskyyUa after White House showdown.
Notably, Keir Starmer has not. No 10 is referring reporters to PM’s comments this week on a just & lasting peace, with Ukraine at heart of talks.

Zelenskyy has been completely disrespected and is being expected to kowtow to Trump and his extortionate expectations. Trump’s lack of knowledge of international affairs and history is palpable.

The coming weeks will tell but based on what we saw, Starmer passed a very difficult diplomatic challenge today. He was able to walk a tight line between standing up for UK/UKR/EU interests whilst doing what is necessary diplomatically to keep the embers of the ‘special relationship’ alive. Bravo!
