“An appeaser is one who feeds a crocodile, hoping it will eat him last.” — Churchill Trump now takes Putin’s side. Europe must choose again: appeasement or our values, imperialism or freedom. Another moment of truth for our Union.

We have lost too many people around this time of year to not say it: reach out to those you haven’t heard from in a while, ask them how they are really doing, grab a coffee a walk or a hike. Chances are, someone you know is in despair. It can make a difference.

Trump (and Witkoff and Kushner) is tragically acting like Putins agent again. This is not America First. This is Russia First.

I live-tweeted Nathan Gill's sentencing & this was the singular moment of the hearing. The defence counsel's first comments to court were *not* about HIS CLIENT, Gill. Instead he focussed in on "speculation" about a "leading figure" aka Nigel Farage. Riddle me that 🧐
@thenerve_news Counsel for Gill now speaking: "In order to quell a degree of speculation to any unnamed 'leading figure in the party' featured in these messages, may I say, we would submit clear was never the subject of any proposition." 29/

60% of the world’s best solar resources are in Africa. 💡Sadly, 600 million Africans still live without electricity. Today in Johannesburg, President von der Leyen announced mobilising €15.5 billion for clean energy in Africa. 🔗 https://t.co/7nQgRppVS0

The US is pressuring Ukraine to capitulate, using the 'peace plan' written in the Kremlin. Europeans need to ask themselves: have they done enough to prevent this from happening? Has their strategy to flatter Trump and avoid challenging him on his cozying up to Putin paid off?

Only 37 per cent of the electorate voted for Brexit after a campaign shaped by misinformation. The real way that Britain can strengthen its national interest is by rebuilding trust with Europe and restoring the protection of jobs, trade and stability.

The ECHR is embedded within the Good Friday agreement, stating that it is a legal requirement of the UK government that the ECHR applies to Northern Ireland. Leaving it would be catastrophic for our human rights.

Every generation understands how important freedom of movement is for young people. It's time for the British Government to rejoin Erasmus+, to empower students with invaluable opportunities to study, work, and experience life across Europe.

Texas gerrymandered first. California responded by letting voters decide through Prop 50. The difference is Texas politicians drew illegal maps, and California voters approved theirs. This is a perfect example of fucking around and finding out.
The gerrymandered Texas map has been struck down in court, but California's Prop. 50 map remains. At the last minute, Newsom and the Legislature took out language saying California will only gerrymander if Texas does. We need to end this senseless redistricting war.

Brexit - a whole lie!
The Right can never be trusted with immigration again. In my Cambridge debate, I explain how the Right's migration politics gave us Brexit, as well as racists like Farage & Matt Goodwin, whose politics only ends in violence. The LEFT must take back control!
