So this is a big deal, and perhaps even *the day Brexit delusions die*. For the EU threatens to restrict automotive sector access unless the UK follows its trade and investment rules. And China threatens to retaliate if the UK does what the EU wants. politico.eu/article/china-th…

The director of the Musk biographical documentary is cooking. I might watch it, even though it’s 3 hours and 52 minutes long. He’s definitely fuming, especially since he threatened the director before it came out. It also features his baby, who’s already messy on TikTok.

This is insane.

That classic phrase, if you aren't at the table you're on the table. Maybe the UK can avoid the collateral damage of being a plaything of the major powers. Or maybe this is the case the prime minister will be making for rejoin, that independence is a mirage.

As I have tweeted so many times the UK has moved from being a (collective) rules making leading member of one of the three biggest (combined) economies, to being a genuine rules taking vassal state to either the EU, the USA (Trump's bitch) or China ... Just a matter of how much to each

We are past the point of political disagreement. We are witnessing a catastrophic collision between unchecked narcissism and obvious neurological decay. It is the most dangerous intersection in American history: a man with the absolute power of the Presidency and the absolute cognitive failure of a person no longer tethered to reality. x.com/atrupar/status/2112623…

Goes till nov 18th … come on Canada !!! Please sign as we have to get rid of this piece of 💩

A Canadian parliamentary petition calls for removal of US Ambassador Pete Hoekstra, often referred to as "Hoekkkstra" has 279,306 signatures and counting. The petition calls for Hoekstra to be declared persona non grata over US interference in Canada. ourcommons.ca/petitions/en/P…

With Trump's removal of Starlink, Russians are now hunting cars full of people in Kyiv, using jet drones for which Ukraine's interceptors no longer function to stop. Three people murdered an hour ago in southern Kyiv, with six others injured, three of which are children.

Sandro Gozi, “Brexit has been a disaster. 10 years on, the verdict is clear.” “Prime Minister Andy Burnham is right to reopen the debate.” “The November summit must deliver real results, fewer barriers, more trade, greater support to Ukraine, and more opportunities for our young people, but we must go further, much further.” “Every option must be on the table, from a special partnership. To a full EU membership." "Colleagues, remember 2016.” “Marine Le Pen, Giorgia Meloni, and other nationalists celebrated Brexit at the beginning of the end of Europe.” “10 years later, Brexit stands as a historic defeat for nationalist propaganda. It sends a powerful message. History is not condemned to move backwards. Nationalism is not our destiny.” “Brexit divided us.” “Our future demands that we come together, not as rivals, but as partners, shaping Europe's future.” My view: Ten years on, the argument for Brexit has not been vindicated. The promises of an easier, more prosperous Britain have given way to years of division and a more difficult relationship with our closest neighbours. The people who sold Brexit as a nationalist triumph should be asked to answer for the consequences. That is why the November summit must deliver practical progress: fewer barriers to trade, stronger support for Ukraine and more opportunities for young people. But a reset cannot succeed if politicians rule out the destination before the conversation has even begun. Every option, including full EU membership, should be open to debate. Brexit showed how easily nationalism can turn neighbours into rivals and complexity into false promises. The answer is not to pretend the division never happened, but to learn from it and choose cooperation. Britain’s future should be shaped with our European partners, and the public deserves an honest debate about how close that relationship should be.

Trump Open to a 3-way With Putin & Xi #ABlueView🧵 In the same call where Trump agreed to illegally buy Russian diesel, Putin "proposed that he, President Trump & Chinese leader Xi Jinping meet next month to talk about Ukraine in an attempt to negotiate an end to the 4-year conflict..." 1/3

The way Zelensky has handled this war, the relationships he has built, how he’s handled people, how he has played his position politically to ensure Ukraine receives continued support even through the frustrations has been incredible. Not many people see how he handles situations when Ukraine is screwed over, when promises aren’t met, when Ukraine needs more support, but the hands he plays are something of an art-form. He handles different leaders, personalities and political systems individually and in the different forms they are required, this man is playing 100 games of Chess at the same time and making incredible moves with each turn. Zelensky may have short falls but one thing is for sure, without Zelensky, Ukraine would have never survived. He is a Hero along with many of the Ukrainians helping their war efforts to defend themselves. Zelensky’s name will go down in history with the Churchill’s of the past. His story, is every bit as magnificent, his determination is every bit as brave. His resolve is absolute. Long Live Ukraine.

If you just heard @BBCRadio4 #wato, you'd be unaware of Reform docu on ITV last night. Why is @BBCNews silent about extreme racism, misogyny & neo-nazi views of Reform elected reps, candidates, activists? Most odd given BBC's usual practice of giving unlimited airtime to Reform.

BBC impartiality. The ONS says unemployment has fallen, but BBC Breakfast runs with the headline that job vacancies are down. It's time Lisa Nandy did her job, got a grip on this organisation, and cleared out the Tory henchmen @lisanandy @Ofcom @BBCBreakfast @BBCPolitics @BBCNews

We know that the Pentagon is withholding the delivery of missiles for which our partners have already paid. New missile shipments are awaiting Hegseth’s signature. Our partners in Europe are waiting for U.S. authorization to transfer their Patriot interceptor missiles—Zelenskyy confirmed media reports regarding delays in the delivery of surface-to-air missiles, attributing these delays to the United States. Europe has paid—Trump is not delivering—Ukrainians are dying—Putin is pleased.

Trump has got until the mid-terms to help Putin If he looses Congress & the Senate it’s game over They will set in train an investigation into Trump’s corruption and, more importantly, his relationship with Putin & any investigation into Russia is bound to include Farage

Janis Berzemnieks, another Reform UK Councillor in Sunderland that hasn't declared employment. Reform UK's Janis Berzemnieks, a Sunderland councillor elected in May 2026, declared "None" under employment on his official Register of Interests. Yet his LinkedIn profile reportedly identifies him as a Team Leader at GXO Logistics (he also has another LinkedIn profile also saying he works for GXO). linkedin.com/in/janis-berzem… Sunderland Council's rules require councillors to declare paid employment and identify their employer. Failure to register a disclosable pecuniary interest without reasonable excuse can constitute a criminal offence under the Localism Act 2011. Was Berzemnieks employed by GXO when he submitted his declaration, and if so, why wasn't it disclosed? @SunderlandUK's Monitoring Officer should be asking @ReformUkWear and @CllrChrisEynon, why they are failing to declare employment? This is the 4th councillor we've identified that has conceiled business interests. Heather Finlay still hasn't updated her ROI with the 3rd business interest.

If proven this could be grounds to ban the AfD.

Wow, the US truly has the most incompetent president in history. Just listening to how clueless this man is, it’s no wonder we have been humiliated in Iran. Trump: “The Russians had a thousand tanks riding up a concrete highway. They would have been in Ukraine in four hours, going maximum tank speed, which is 48 miles an hour, to be exact. Nothing to stop them. The war would have been over in one day. And this very stupid general - I have no idea who he is. I doubt he’s still with us. I doubt he’s still living. He decided to hang a right onto the farmland and then take a left and go up to Kyiv, rather than staying on the highway - the concrete highway, perfectly good highway - where they were doing very nicely. It would have been three and a half, four hours, and the whole war would have ended. He ended up getting stuck in the mud.” Does he understand that Ukrainian troops destroyed all the bridges and cut off the retreat points, so the only option left was to go off the highway? I mean, if you have the IQ of a 10-year-old child, you should be able to get it. I am honestly shocked at the basic level of ignorance. And this is the man who is in charge of the US Army.

Make muscovy small again. #NAFO #Fellas
