Sorry UK, I'm all for deeper UK-EU security cooperation at this moment, but forget about this bridge illusion. The EU will speak for itself. And you cannot pretend to speak 'for Europe' and at the same meeting call for tariff carve outs playing on being 'not Europe'. From: on.ft.com/4gLuvnQ

Just want to say how pleased I am to be here! Lots of meaningful, interesting articles and comment. Thank goodness for Bluesky.
Another pleasing thing - keeping this poinsettia alive for over a year, and getting it to ‘flower’ again. Small things, but good. Xx

This practice of engineering Commons votes purely to generate gotcha comms attacks against the other side's MPs - when did it start? Can remember it going back to 2010s but is it much older.
