Excellent news. As we had called for, the agreement allowing the UK to rejoin #Erasmus+ from 2027 is now in place. A concrete step to rebuild people-to-people ties. Congratulations to @NickTorfaen and @MarosSefcovic. Political will delivers results!
Shadow Home Secretary Chris Philp chose to side with Trump over the BBC today.
True patriots should be united in standing up for Britain against Trump's bullying.
BBC
Bias is often in the eye of the beholder
So let’s stick to measurable facts

Harris or Trump? Some claim that the future of Europe depends on the American elections, while it depends first and foremost on us. On condition Europe finally grows up and believes in its own strength. Whatever the outcome, the era of geopolitical outsourcing is over.
7 October was a terrible atrocity against Israeli civilians. But it does not justify the apocalypse unleashed on Gaza, killing tens of thousands. Nor bombing a neighbouring democracy, fuelling the hatred that created Hezbollah in the 80s. Real security will only come from peace.
This is very good indeed. The previous UK position went against rulings at international courts, which in turn opened us up to charges of hypocrisy when we spoke about upholding the international rule of law. Well done @FCDOGovUK and all involved https://t.co/fxlvBpIkAA
“The Dutch cycling networks are carefully planned with a fine-grained mesh, making it possible to cycle ‘from anywhere to everywhere’ in their city.
These grids connect where people live, work, shop, and play—offering a practical alternative to driving.”

A Youth Mobility Scheme is a win-win-win.
🧑🎓It would give young people the opportunity to live and work in Europe
🏦provide a much-needed boost to the UK economy and our hospitality sector
🤝and help rebuild the ties of trust, trade and friendship with our European neighbours.
Looking for comfort is a human instinct. The goal of cycling policy is to make cycling a pleasant experience.
To guarantee a comfortable situation, it is imperative to minimize stops and nuisances in the network.
