Dear @mark-carney.bsky.social, we want to bring the relationship with Canada to the highest level possible.
I would like to work with you on opening the door for Canada to being the first associate member of the EU.
And create a common prosperity and economic security space.

As Andy Burnham makes his 1st Commons speech as PM today, I thought this worth a repost.
Eleven months ago, I was invited to speak at the @politico.eu Labour Party conference fringe event and asked why the govt was so unpopular, & what I’d have advised them to do. Perhaps they were listening?

I caught two strikes and a Bluesky community guidelines violation for jokingly wondering how his story will end. We are all held to incredibly high standards while the president is held to zero.

Back to Withnail's (should it be Marwood's, he's the one who calls...?) phone box.
Anyway, saw Crow Crag from a distance, Uncle Monty's. All orderly white bell tents for some commodified Withnail experience.

So, a joke MP with 5 houses bought for cash, links to criminality and a £5Mill ‘gift’ in his bank… is so enraged at being held to account… that he resigns from the MP role he never did anyway…and demands a “people v the establishment” by-election to vote him back in.
What an insufferable wanker.

England team doing well. Farage getting vigorously cunted. New progressive PM on the brink of entering Downing Street. Have we entered the other timeline? It's sketching me out.

The joy today is that hatred lost. Doesn't matter what you think of Burnham. Farage tried to invite a race riot. He dealt in explicitly racial rhetoric. If he'd won, many journalists would have considered it a vindication of his approach and branded our outrage evidence of how out of touch we are.

The President of the United States is threatening to commit war crimes and wipe out a "whole civilization" — all because he started a disastrous war of his own making and had no plan and no strategy for how to end it.
This is abhorrent, and the American people do not support this.

I predicted someone like Trump many years ago, in THE DEAD ZONE. So now I'm saying this--in the next 12-16 months, we're going to find out if the two machines for the removal of a man unable to fulfill his duties actually work. They are impeachment and the 25th amendment. He is deeply unwell .

Just back into London from a trip through JFK.
America has truly become a 3rd world country with a paramilitary of cos-play soldiers with no uniform, ballistic vests, huge bellies and ridiculous tattoos searching my bags.
How the mighty have fallen.
