Young people in the UK are being denied opportunities because this government refuses to sit down with our European allies to agree on a Youth Mobility Scheme.

@JamesMacCleary challenges the Government on its refusal to act.

World beating UK, energy prices nearly double anywhere else.

Also the UK, every energy firm making 4-10x profits.

I wonder if they are related?

If you’re involved in local government and not following @BearwoodCouncil you’re missing so much joy

[Cllr Ryan Priest 🔶 @Ryaphor]

That's an easy one, he's just not very good at politics and covers it up with the kind of confidence only private education can provide

@ThreshedThought In 1939, with an aggressor nation on the march and no US military assistance (the US had a smaller army than Belgium at the time), UK defence spending increased from 3.75% of GDP to 9%. Do we have the will to do that again?

[Mike Martin MP 🔸 @ThreshedThought]

The UK immediately needs to:

- Increase defence spending rapidly (rather than shrinking its army)
- Focus its military strategy on deterring Russian aggression in Europe (rather than confronting ‘global threats’)
- Work with European allies to defend Europe under a NATO that doesn’t have US support (rather than assuming that America guarantees European security).

Anything less would be a government dereliction of duty.

Lib Dems Ed Davey has taken a stronger line than the PM:

[Cllr Matt Shakespeare 🔶 @PangbourneLD]

@timfarron Yeah well, what about the Muslims he tried for ban coming into US last time round, the women pregnant through rape, the Ukrainian soldier stood in a trench defending Europe from Russian aggression. This is the real world, not some god who allows the horrors we see around us

@CasaReal Unos reyes que acompañan a su pueblo cuando sufre..

Unos reyes que no se marchan a pesar de recibir insultos y barro…

Unos reyes que lloran con su pueblo..

Son unos reyes que se ganan a su pueblo.

Un ejemplo para muchos políticos…

In 1996 Ukraine handed over nuclear weapons to Russia "in exchange for a guarantee never to be threatened or invaded".
