🇪🇺🇺🇦 No deal without Europe will work and Europe will continue to support Ukraine, — Kaja Kallas.

“Quick solutions are dirty deals that will not stop the war. A concession before the start of negotiations is an appeasement that will not work. If Ukraine resists, Europe will increase its support.”

"No, I meant outside the vessel."

My local library has some book called something like 'Captain Tom's Little Book of Wisdom' prominently advertised on its ebook service, and I die a little every time I see it.

1/ 🚨 Conspiracy theories about the 2024 election miss the bigger picture.

The truth? It wasn’t one night, one hack, or one fraud. It was a system rigged in plain sight – right in front of us. The playbook was out in the open for years. But hardly anyone paid attention.

Here’s how they did it... 🧵

Parliament today passed the Government Bill to bring the British railways back in to public ownership

This is a fantastic move to bring a once thriving network back in to public ownership after years of decreasing standards under private ownership

Now... Do water.... 👍
