Two photos. Same room. Same flags. Same astronauts. In one, the President stands with them, smiling, centered, human. In the other, the President sits scowling, rambling, diminished. Four astronauts. Two presidents. And the faces tell you everything.

A tale of 4 astronauts, and 2 presidents, and faces that tell a story.

It should terrify us all how easily our democracy can be manipulated and subverted by those unwilling to play by the rules

Not sure that headline is fully accurate. Border controls have gone. But neither Gibraltarians nor Gibraltar residents have regained Freedom of Movement

Viktor Orbán has threatened to veto any EU budget that links payouts to member states to democratic requirements. But before he can play spoiler, the Hungarian leader faces the toughest challenge yet to his 16-year rule. 🔗 www.politico.eu/article/talk...

Weird to think that Liza Minnelli and Dusty Springfield were respectively only 43 and 50 when they made their comeback records with the Pet Shop Boys. At the time they felt like ancient ghosts of showbiz past. The equivalents now (in age if not in stature) would be Cheryl Tweedy and Emma Bunton.

Apart from Tommy robinxxx no, but what do you think you achieve by posting this except more division in the UK. NI (& 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿) voted strongly to remain. Even assuming all EU passport holders voted to leave, the English would have still had a majority to leave. So it rest solely with you and your followers

So many people fail to understand this, but Britain spread their culture and language across the world, if you spoke only one second language and it was English of course you would want to come to a country where you could assimilate easier

Starmer's prob is that this sounds like a holding speech in the midst of a huge realignment (or, more accurately,a nutter President causing chaos). Fair dos. But ppl will also hear very Starmer-esque denial of the need for agility & imagination. The moment demands v. rare skills (that he hasn't got)

Remember the period of 2017-9 when Theresa May would hold a late night press conference every couple of weeks and then announce that nothing had changed?

What was once a simple journey to the mainland continent is now filled with long waits, bureaucracy, and extra costs. It's time to join the single market.

The I Paper. British tourists face 'endless queues' at post-Brexit border checks. Spain's hotel body CEHAT is pressing the government for urgent action to tackle gridlock at airports serving popular holiday resorts.

Hallelujah! Another new loop in my head. Single market is better than customs union, so Starmer tells to the British public. But please, the single market according to British (emphatically!) conception. Transactional for goods and British services, but please no free movement of people and no ...

Sums up how rubbish Badenoch is that she has been forced into a “You’re dumping me? I’m dumping you!” rather than just sacking and disbarring Jenrick over the many, many things that would have kept him out of any Tory Cabinet since 1968.

Freedom of movement is treated as a political obstacle — but mostly in the minds of politicians. The public has already moved on. People understand mobility as practical, mutual, and normal. The barrier isn’t public opinion. It’s political imagination. #rejoineu #savefom

10 years after the referendum and the ONLY thing the minority who still support Brexit go on about, is winning that referendum (just). Why? Because it is the ONLY win Brexit has. The vote. Nothing since has been a win for Brexit. "Brexit has failed" Nigel Farage

Freedom of Movement is mostly about short term mobility. It is for a finite population in a finite area and it’s fully reciprocal. The entire population of Scotland could move to the Isle of Wight if they wanted to. But they don’t. There’s no need to fear mutual freedom.

Financial services alignment is not a niche technical issue. It is the keystone. Without it: ❌ the EU will not offer deep single market access ❌regulatory trust remains limited ❌equivalence stays fragile and political ❌trade-offs in food, farming, energy, data and services are capped

Without the videos of what happened in Minneapolis, we’d be entirely reliant on an administration that habitually lies about ICE’s use of unjustified force — a situation more akin to that in Portland, where CBP officers shot two people Thursday.
