Any article referring to @ChaunceyGardner is worth a read. @JosephH00281274 nails it again with his trademark Irish wit.

Handing over unoccupied territory is a travesty. Having Ukraine coerced into it by the US - & then being forced to disarm to boot - would be a disaster for European security. Ukraine would prefer slowly losing a war of attrition than consigning itself to defeat after re-invasion.
Ending a complex and deadly war such as the one in Ukraine requires an extensive exchange of serious and realistic ideas. And achieving a durable peace will require both sides to agree to difficult but necessary concessions. That is why we are and will continue to develop a list

Denmark protecting cigarette sales like Peter Schmeichel protected goals!
Denmark and the Commission are pushing an EU wide ban on safer nicotine products in Geneva. Member States rejected this. Denmark is defying Europe and the evidence. @Statsmin @FCTCofficial @OliverVarhelyi #FCTCCOP11

An article in which the @Telegraph suggests the UK Government should spend 45% of its budget on the State pension benefit. Reminder that we are not a serious country and will default with fantasy thinking such as this! @iealondon

I came to Germany in 2016 to start my PhD. Germany then was a hotbed of scientific and engineering activity. And now in a span of 9 years I have had the incredible opportunity to witness a first world country on the cusp of becoming a great superpower systematically decimate
NOW - Germany has just blown up the cooling towers of another decommissioned nuclear power plant. This time in Gundremmingen, Bavaria.

Master thread on all the community notes I could find. Franciscan Health kicks it off by receiving the first note that showed up. They show that a rising trend means a decline. https://t.co/fwqR8ztHeb

Good news that @DHSCgovuk will tell COP11 vaping is less harmful than smoking and helps adults quit. But saying it in a conference room is not enough. They need to say it loud and clear here in the UK too. 🧵

At #COP11 decisions could be made behind closed doors that could take away the very flavours that helped Leo quit smoking. Have you told your story to your MP at https://t.co/mY33Q0MDGX

Carl Stanton MBE, a great man, showed me how to fix engines as a wee nipper. The kind of man we need more of.
Everyone loves Carl, he was even honoured by Queen Elizabeth II with an MBE for his community work but he also quit smoking after 70 years through vaping. Tell your story to your MP @ https://t.co/aNwK8jmIsd

👉 Jacob’s right. The @FCTCofficial needs to hear from consumers across the world, and @DHSCgovuk should carry the voices of British vapers to #COP11. #BackVapingSaveLives
