Happily retired civil servant, now in Somerset. Europhile, saddened by Brexit. Glad to leave the other place.

Don’t recall BBC News leading with any of the myriad marches for Palestine, #PeoplesVote or #Rejoin. How very odd. How very strange. How very expected.

In Romania, the pro-EU candidate Nicușor-Daniel Dan has won the presidential election. He defeated the pro-Russia, extreme right candidate George-Nicolae Simion.

I just want to publicly state that I think Hillbilly Himmler JD Vance, is a truly vile individual. I know it goes without saying; but I want it on record.

What Trump and Vance have done here is galvanised support for Ukraine in Europe.
They both, yet again, have shown themselves to be small men.
Small, petty, weak men. This is how they will go down in history.

Trump & Vance’s treatment of Zelenskyy was a snub to all of Europe.
And the pair of them can fuck right off.
I don’t want them having a single rare earth atom from European soil.
I don’t want their military bases.
I want Europe to throw everything into driving Russia off Ukrainian soil.

There is only one side for democracies to stand on today: Ukraine’s.
The USA have made their choice and stance - once again - clear today.
Thinking of my Ukrainian friends, colleagues and students who live under the bombs; of their relatives and loved ones fighting for their country and Europe.

Privatised vs Public Water
England & Wales: Private firms = high bills, big dividends, underinvestment.
Scotland: Publicly owned = lower bills, reinvested profits, better performance.
Leakage? Less in Scotland. Sewage spills? Fewer. Public ownership works. 💧 #UKWater

Elon Musk opened a UK company in Dec, just around the time he said he was going to donate £100 million to Reform UK
If the Labour govt sleep through this latest threat, & allow British democracy to be openly corrupted, again, they will not be forgiven.

This is important.
'We don’t know what that company is for but if Musk did want to pour £100m into the next UK election, as it’s been reported, this is how he could do it.'
