I still occasionally dip back into the other place, but that may now stop. Keir Starmer's brother died over Christmas, and while most comments were respectful, several consisted of inhumane bile. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but the man has just lost his brother FFS. Glad to be on Bluesky.

A compelling argument from @jonathanfreedland.bsky.social . "It's not ideology or idealism, but hard-headed, practical common sense to say our place is in Europe"

Brexit makes no sense in a world dominated by Trump. Britain’s place is back in the EU | Jonathan Freedland
