Joanna Wilkinson @wmlj.bsky.social · 16/02/2025Why have we continued to rely on US and failed to creat our own European forces? Yes Brexit has happened but that does not mean we cannot cooperate with our allies and neighbours to protect our values. The money is an issue but must be found. Why does it take a lecture from Vance to motivate us? 000
Reposted by Joanna WilkinsonRachel Wight @rachelwight.bsky.social · 20/01/2025Is there any interest in starting a #booksky book club? Does one already exist? If not, I'd love to host! We could have people vote for the monthly book. Then we can discuss it in the comments of a different post. Thoughts? 📚💙 #booktok #bookclub #goodreads #reader #writer #authors #writingcommunity 190165846

Joanna Wilkinson @wmlj.bsky.social · 05/01/2025I listened to Alastair Campbell (RIP podcast), talking about trying to understand far right, populist voters. We who claim to be liberals, need to try to understand why people who believe they are suffering, vote for billionaires who are unlikely to serve their interests in the long term. 120
