I've not been logging onto Bluesky, recently. I am suffering
with the heat, but I'm thinking of and praying for all those
living with the threat of continued violence; who don't have
shelter, food and water. May the leaders of the world act
now.

Petition: Commission a public inquiry into the impact of the UK exiting the European Union
Given that it has stated its aim of growing the UK economy, we think the Government needs to quantify the effects of exiting the European Union as soon as possible by setting up an inquiry.

Trump's administration will be unstable long term. If Starmer has tied his colours firmly to the mast of non-EU re-entry & feels he cannot reverse his position in the face of world changes, then he must step aside.
But, he can change course in the national interest. Not a u-turn, just necessity.
