@wanderingarou17 @josephkazUK We’ve all had ‘traditional architecture bad’ drummed into us and we’ve all learned these thin, easily countered, 1960s arguments defending the clearly ridiculous consensus that it’s only practical to build ugly, barely functional, short life span infrastructure and public spaces

[Sam H L @Sam_H_L]

@Simon_Nixon Not sure. @mehdirhasan, who I’d previously always liked, showed really ugly identity politics around the Iran war. Seems tribe is more important than humanitarianism. I hope Zeteo won’t pump even more divisive identity politics and polarisation into our national discourse

Ooooooooh hello, looks promising

[Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan @MayorofLondon]

A historic Victorian icon, reimagined for modern London. 

The £1.3 billion transformation of Olympia isn’t just one of the most spectacular regeneration schemes London has ever seen, it’s also a symbol of our city’s creativity, imagination and unstoppable ambition.

@CaolanReports Fantastic work

@Disc_light @Keir_Starmer @EmmanuelMacron @_FriedrichMerz I’m not disagreeing with you on getting the economy back to being sustainable. Ukraine is different though. Imagine we stopped supporting them, they collapsed, Russia attacked say the Baltics. Suddenly we’d need to spend 10x as much urgently.

[Sam H L @Sam_H_L]

Fantastic fun fact (even better with a Grok elaboration)

[Further or Alternatively @FurtherOr]

Trinity Square, SE1.

Fun fact: the statue (King Alfred) is made out of a Roman statue of Minerva, topped in Coade stone. It strikes me that there is a pretty good cross-section of London history in these photos.

@Disc_light @Keir_Starmer @EmmanuelMacron @_FriedrichMerz There are other places govt budgets can and should be cut but not here

[Sam H L @Sam_H_L]

@Disc_light @Keir_Starmer @EmmanuelMacron @_FriedrichMerz I love your work David but pay a pound today to save a hundred pounds in the future

Also those guys are heroes – they’re fighting for their survival. We should stick by them like we stuck by Poland and Europe in WW2

[Sam H L @Sam_H_L]

‘Ironclad’ is waffle. Announce some extra cash

[Keir Starmer @Keir_Starmer]

Our support for Ukraine is ironclad.

We will stand with Ukraine for as long as it takes. Ukraine’s security is Europe’s security.

Slava Ukraini.

@TomTugendhat @GrahamEvans Frog Bikes went too didn’t it? We are killing off our manufacturing industries systematically

Ireland: this is dirty, shameful, a betrayal of the values you claim to retain from your own historic struggle against my country

[Dan the “Shadow Tanker Bonker” @realLangerDan]

🚨There’s currently 2x Estonian owned Ships from Hansa Shipping at anchor in the Shannon Estuary, waiting for a free berth on Aughinish pier where they will on-load Alumina before sailing for Russia

Between them, enough Alumina to smelt approx 7500 tons of Aluminium #Alumina21

Doesn’t matter if you have a nice green cardigan and a friendly voice. This man is morally bankrupt and is looking the other way as families are blown apart in playgrounds with Irish support. Thank god we on this side of the Irish Sea have a better sense of European solidarity

[Caolan @CaolanReports]

I asked a local councillor if the russian refinery here in Ireland should be sanctioned.

He said yes, if it was supplying Israel.
But Russia? No.

This is Ireland’s sanctions hypocrisy in 90 seconds.

[Chris A.🇦🇺🌻🇺🇦🦘 @ChrisAn73782393]

Australia banned the export of alumina, bauxite, and related aluminium ores to Russia on March 20, 2022.
We're looking at you Ireland.

[حنانیا نفتالی @HananyaPersian]

زنی در داخل ایران همین حالا جانش را به خطر انداخته تا این پیام را به جهان برساند: «ما را مسلح کنید.»
توجه کنید که برایش مهم نیست چهره‌اش محو شده یا نه؛ او فقط می‌خواهد این پیام به گوش دنیا برسد. مردم ایران بی‌باک هستند و به کمک ما نیاز دارند.

(اعتبار ویدیو: @ArminNavabi

[Caolan @CaolanReports]

Every sign at this refinery in Ireland is in russian. The official website is a .RU domain.

There’s no reason to hide it because local politicians are openly doing it for them.
