President Zelensky said it plainly: Ukraine did not have cards, it had people. Smart, brave people. That is the truth Europe must never forget. Putin counts weapons, Trump talks deals; Ukrainians are defending a nation, a democracy and the security of our continent. Their drones, resilience and courage are not bargaining chips. They are Europe’s front line. As European Democrats, we stand with Ukraine: peace requires strength, freedom requires solidarity.
£90bn lost to Brexit.
That's 1.5 million nurses. Or 3,000 schools. Or free meals for every poor child for life.
Johnson-Farage disaster.
Rejoin isn't hope. It's arithmetic. 🇪🇺📊💷

If the Michelle Mone yacht worth £10 million is confiscated and the £148 million owed to taxpayers is 'paid back' that's £158 million right there in the defence pot.
Oh and let's not forget the £500 million owed in taxes by M'Lord Bamford.

👋 Welcome to Ireland to the Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney!
A warm welcome to Prime Minister of Canada Mark Carney and the delegation from Canada as they arrive in Dublin Airport. Taoiseach Micheál Martin greeted them on arrival ahead of a full programme of engagements.
To think that once @ZelenskyyUa used to do comedy; now he has little to smile about ever. Many doubted him as a politician when he first ran, but in fact he turned out to be a man of unbelievable strength & courage, serving his people. I pray one day Ukraine smiles again 🇺🇦
🚩 Lord Heseltine sounds the air raid siren on Brexit crime:
Brexit was a “heinous crime” against the British people, led by Boris Johnson, Nigel Farage and their allies.
“Never have so few done so much damage to so many.”
The promises have turned to dust. A majority now wants to rejoin.
The guilty men should hang their heads in shame.
🚨 Pope Leo XIV has sent a WARNING to migrants, telling them how to behave when they arrive into new countries:
'Learn its language, to respect its laws, to get to know its customs, to participate in communal life and to offer your gifts with gratitude'
The liars of Brexit are suddenly being exposed
They have got away with it for so long - sooner or later it was going to catch up with them.
Is this yet another reason Farage is in hiding
The strength & sense of duty shown by Keir Starmer are exceptional. To be a PM when the world is filled with so much immorality, selfishness, & hate would be hard for anyone, yet he consistently demonstrates a higher standard. He’s dignified & resolute, no matter the situation.🙌🏼
"I’ve heard so many comments that Europe is close to collapse. It’s not true..
It’s still the best place in the world."
- Donald Tusk
Prime Minister of Poland
Say what you like, I stand with Keir Starmer.
100%
Quite simply, he is by far the best Prime Minister this country, the UK, has had for decades.
He is solid.
His motives, his ethics, are to be admired immensely - even in the face of such opprobrium from the MSM
Carry on Keir, I say.
All power to your elbow.

Mark Carney, "Together we - Canada, Ireland, and the EU - are one of the largest economic, cultural, technological, financial blocks in the world"
"But to what purpose? Well, we are and can be a force for good because we safeguard the values of human rights, of dignity and pluralism that are people hold dear"
"Just as Irish monks centuries ago preserved, copied and taught classical knowledge amid the Dark Ages. We must preserve and defend our values, our traditions, our interests. During this rupture"
"Building true sovereignty cannot be achieved in isolation. It requires diversification. It requires partnership"
"Coalitions that work issue by issue with partners that share enough common ground to act together"
"And that's why Canada was the first non European country to join the EU's Safe Defence Procurement Program"
"It's why we're championing efforts to build a bridge between the Trans Pacific Partnership and the European Union"
"Something that would create a trading bloc of one and a half billion people, a rules based trading block of one and a half billion people"
"With these shared values, we have developed a unique worldview, transatlantic worldview, if you will, rooted in a simple but profound conviction that we are stronger when we are connected, that our prosperity grows when it's shared, and that we are the stewards of our lands"
"Canada, Ireland and Europe can be pivotal, powerful and purposeful, a force for good."
"The EU maintains preferential access to over 80 partner countries, making it the top trading partner for 80 nations globally"
"Together, we are powerful because we have the capacity to act together"
"Combined, the population is more than twice that of the United States"
"We have a larger cultural export industry and a more diverse one, I might add, a similarly sized GDP, comparable R&D spend"
🚨 Mark Carney says Canada is “the most European of non-European countries” and that the new world order will be built with Europe.
As countries around the world move closer to the EU for security, trade and stability, Britain remains outside looking in.
