Freedom of speech is the foundation of our strong and vibrant European democracy.

We are proud of it. We will protect it.

Because the @ec.europa.eu is the guardian of our values.

Why is the far right triumphing across the West?

Because ordinary citizens are told they're trapped in a zero-sum game - competing with migrants for scarce resources.

This is a lie.

A failed economic order is to blame:

Since 2008, struggling communities have been told they are in competition with migrants. Only a model that gives them hope will halt the populists, says Guardian columnist Owen Jones

Europe only has itself to rely on

If the continent is to survive a future attack by Russia, its big players must behave in a way they haven’t done before. They must be joined at the hip.

This is why @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social needs to go all in on street safety, bike lanes, bus lanes, pedestrians plazas and more. The Post – and the Right in general – is going to call anything he does a “war on drivers” no matter what, so why not just do what’s right and go for it?

Doesn't the Bakerloo look like shit because the Tories wouldn't fund new trains?
Are there any other countries whose "patriotic" publications pay foreigners to write about what a hellhole they think their country is?

Rachel Reeves says this Labour Governments decisions are "necessary."

Why is it always necessary to hit the living standards of the 99%?

When are we going to make the necessary decisions about extreme wealth?

Airstrikes don’t “test” a ceasefire. They break a ceasefire. Language isn’t that hard, media. Neither is professionalism and bravery.

Recently there's been a coordinated effort by some to talk down London, because it suits their political agenda. The truth must hurt for them - because London has once again been crowned the greatest city in the world.

If, like me, you love London, then my message is this:
London proves progressive cities work. No wonder some politicians hate that, writes Sadiq Khan | LBC

The Republican president is a pedophile who has doubled my healthcare costs and let scores of violent criminals out of jail. But a Democratic mayor-elect wants to make busses free in a city I don't live in. I have never felt more politically homeless.

And today it's the turn of The Times to try and patronise us all.

Every single day the right wing establishment tries to close ranks.

What you’re witnessing is a populist assault on the BBC.

This is not an institutional scandal in any meaningful sense of the word. It is an attack on public service broadcasting.

the thing that upsets me about this the most is that Dems had all the momentum, republicans were reeling, and we were getting intra-GOP fighting over the filibuster, all while voters were blaming republicans for their incompetence

this destroys all of this. just a total gut punch
