Dear American friends, Europe is your closest ally, not your problem. And we have common enemies. At least that’s how it has been in the last 80 years. We need to stick to this, this is the only reasonable strategy of our common security. Unless something has changed.

Lord Offord was an enthusiastic backer of Kemi Badenoch’s leadership bid. “A kick in the bollocks” is the reaction of one senior MP to his move to Reform: https://t.co/bG9RlhBIjM

It is worth remembering that Offord enthusiastically backed Kemi Badenoch for leader.

(If I was conspiratorial I might assume that there is a considered action here on behalf of Labour in knowledge it is extremely unlikely that they will lead next Welsh Govt and that allowing Labour UK Govt to go around/over them as a campaign tool for 2029.) #Senedd26

Cracking tenacity from @ConorGogarty here as both FM & PM try and talk out a question they don’t want to answer Ultimately, the FM’s party loyalty is blinding her to the risks of accepting UK Govt overreach that will undermine any future Welsh Govt’s democratic mandate #Senedd26
I tried to get an answer from Keir Starmer yesterday on Labour Senedd members accusing his government of attacking devolution. He avoided our question then shut us down from pressing First Minister Eluned Morgan on the same issue. We weren't allowed to film so here's the audio

Meanwhile in Russia: state TV host Vladimir Solovyov called for assassinations of Ursula von der Leyen, Kaja Kallas and others. Solovyov rejoiced that Trump is echoing Russian rhetoric and expressed hope he'll imprison former US Ambassador Michael McFaul. https://t.co/ck5E5SeSnG

J.D. Vance's intervention in Germany's election, on behalf of AfD, was not a one-off. It is now ingrained in the U.S. National Security Strategy. "Cultivating resistance to Europe's current trajectory." Europe is be treated as enemy terrain to be destabilized by America's

In one of the most pathetic and humiliating moments in history, Trump just received the new inaugural FIFA Peace Prize. They literally invented a “peace prize” to keep him happy after he didn’t receive the actual Nobel Peace Prize. Beyond parody https://t.co/I1ahYRCz85

My piece for The Guardian about why I am far more concerned about Reform's aversion to scrutiny than I am about them calling me a c***. https://t.co/0yvbtkOWnB

The leaked exchange shows how much the party dislikes scrutiny – which reveals a lot about its approach to governing, says Guardian columnist Will Hayward

Fair to say there is some unhappiness in Welsh Labour over Jo Stevens' admittance that she only communicates in English – despite Welsh being an official language: https://t.co/Gw1KaTAXTS

The delusions within are quite something.
Trump's national security strategy is out and some of the Europe sections are shocking. "...the growing influence of patriotic European parties indeed gives cause for great optimism." https://t.co/dkPu5xypFQ

A reminder of the last time a World Cup finals draw took place in the USA in December 1993, when Robin Williams stole the show by pissing about on stage and repeatedly making fun of Sepp Blatter. FIFA hasn’t invited a comedy genius to help out since. https://t.co/IZJimCXCM0
