MPs are going to vote on Friday for an #assisteddying/#assistedsuicide bill they have never seen. It will be amended and rushed through at the end of the day before anyone has had a chance to digest what has happened. This really is not good enough. independent.co.uk/news/uk/politi…

"It’s done. We have our trade agreement with the European Union.” @tompeck showcases that most special of relationship and Starmer's poise thetimes.com/uk/politics/ar…
Great satire that captures the mood and centrist dismay very well
Nie dorośliśmy do demokracji. Przepraszam państwa, ale jak my mamy spojrzeć demokratycznej Europie w oczy. Kraj który tyle przecierpiał zmienia swe barwy na czarno- brunatne. Najgorsze jest to, że nieświadomi prości ludzie po podstawówce zdecydowali za nas. Dramat!
Palais de Justice was Hitler's favourite building as he passed through Brussels in June 1940. A vile edifice - quite literally rotten. Knock it down ft.com/content/0b7273…

Germany has voted 🇩🇪🗳️ - What's next? "Game over for Centrists" @BrunoBrussels "It's hard for Social Democrats to redefine themselves" @spornschlegel "AfD didn't get into to power, but their ideas managed to do so" @kimsmouter Watch #BrusselsMyLove all weekend on Euronews
9 out of 10 people in England don't agree with Braveman. It is fine for Braverman to not identify as English. She should also respect the English identity of those born in England who identify as English & are accepted as English in a growing English consensus for > 30 years
I’m a proud British Asian. And of course, I’m not English. I never thought that was contentious. But then I saw the exchange between @FraserNelson and @KonstantinKisin on @triggerpod and realised that too many people are nervous about asserting English identity for what it…
"The most radical position of all continues to elude her. Sarkar just doesn’t seem to get that the Left is never going to win the enthusiastic votes of millions... until its representatives start to take all of their priorities seriously. This includes the inconvenient ones,"…
