Labour to hire a lead EU negotiator on a salary which should attract a big hitter, in the drive to move closer to Europe. We have much more of our trade, security interests and climate objectives with Europe than the USA. So, of course we should prioritise that. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Giving up smoking?
Here's how I did it:
Most cigarettes are "habit" (you have them at set times or stuations), ~10% are "addiction" (you need the nicotine).
Start by cutting out "habit" cigs, 1 or 2 each day, over about 3wks.
So, dont smoke at every tea break, or when you get to the lights etc.

An excellent thread by my friend & ally in the tech accountability trenches @moonalice.bsky.social. Technology underpins it all.
We should acknowledge that MAGA and Trump’s victory were enabled by internet platforms whose business models reward fear and outrage. Dems had 8 yrs after FB enabled Trump and never had a floor vote in either chamber on a single bill that could possibly have addressed the harms. 🧵1/x
