I wish I didn’t have to share this. But the BBC has decided to censor my first Reith Lecture.
They deleted the line in which I describe Donald Trump as “the most openly corrupt president in American history.” /1

Close to my heart as my father had Alzheimers, I am still Dutch and hope to visit even though living in UK and last but not least this may be my 15th time taking part. See one ☝🏻 of my previous entries.

Congratulations to all the Democratic candidates who won tonight. It’s a reminder that when we come together around strong, forward-looking leaders who care about the issues that matter, we can win. We’ve still got plenty of work to do, but the future looks a little bit brighter.

Very worrying. All my followers should be supporting our EU colleagues, friends and family also following @inlimbobrexit.bsky.social and @elenainlimbo.bsky.social
I genuinely find this very worrying, as someone with settled status! sure, Lam probably won't be home secretary tomorrow, but the mood music is changing, you can feel it, and I just don't trust Labour to fight like hell on our behalf, so unclear where this is going to go
Lam hears "settled status" and "guaranteed by withdrawal treaty" as up for grabs:understood to be temporary "provisional arrangements" which can be transitional and unsettled if and when you want to
That is highly counterintuitive as language of 'settled', as law & as politics of Treaty guarantees.

The Goldwater Rule is an ethical guideline prohibiting psychiatrists from diagnosing public figures w/o personal examination. And indeed, many outrageous, volatile leaders are hard to read. This is where political analysis won't provide answers. Personal insight will.

Canada has become the latest country to announce its intention to recognise a Palestinian state if certain conditions are met. Prime Minister Mark Carney condemned the Israeli government for allowing a catastrophe to unfold in Gaza.

Palestine Action have won their bid for a full legal challenge against the British government's decision to ban it as a terrorist group
The High Court ruled that an internal Home Office process was "not suitable", partly because "many people now subject to criminal proceedings" linked to the ban

I honestly despair that our Govt along with so many others stand by and do nothing as Isreal unleashes its own holocaust on Palestinians, shooting, bombing & starving innocent children, women & men…
They were so quick to impose sanctions on Russia (rightly so) but for the Palestinians nothing 🤷🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️
