Finally a UK politician willing to tell the truth about #Brexit impact on the economy. It’s a start, I suppose www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
Nothing else has worked – so Starmer and Reeves are finally telling the truth about Brexit | Rafael Behr
It is the right way to go, but taking the long way round to such an obvious point has cost Labour precious time and credibility, says Guardian columnist Rafael Behr

Commentators slagged off chainsaw wielding President Javier Milei as ‘the crazy’. They did the same for Elon Musk’s antics. Yet it seems magazine editors can’t get enough of the saw wielded

Privatized UK utility companies aren’t just greedy. They’re insensitive too. My late mother’s gas and electricity provider keeps writing to her, handily putting ‘(deceased)’ after her name on the bill. I asked them to use my details instead and they said ‘only with the account holder’s permission’.

Listened to this press conference, I heard a fantasist describe an alternate reality with no basis in fact. So Ukraine is to blame for being invaded? Quite wrong. As the article states, every US President for the last 80 years would have disagreed. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/18/u...
Trump’s Pivot Toward Putin’s Russia Upends Generations of U.S. Policy
As peace talks opened in Saudi Arabia, President Trump made clear that the days of isolating Russia are over and suggested that Ukraine was to blame for being invaded.

My mother died in 2024. She had a long life, well lived. But often when I see or hear something she’d be interested in I still find myself thinking ‘I must tell her’.

Proud to be helping these guys with comms support as they row the Atlantic from Dec 10. It’s a tough thing to do, as I know. They’re raising money for Dementia UK, which helped our family when Dad fell ill. If you’ve got any spare cash, please check them out: oarmightymates.co.uk
