I repost a lot. Partly because unlike when Twitter was healthy, things die here if you don't. I mean they already die but they'd die a quicker death without collective reposting [as none of us follow enough other people... measured by what's needed to keep the site growing].
Yes while it is nice to have a more natural communicator the stunts make me very nervous.

So, the new input from Burnham was a microphone and no lectern, to be closer to people… Please, please, can we get less PR stunts and more serious politics! (Politics is dying by 1000 PR stunts, one limping after another😢)

I don't post much on here, or anywhere else for that matter. In the past, I posted so much on Twitter that I now wonder how I managed to find time for anything else. Nowadays, I feel drained just thinking about actively using social media. 1/16
This should say: The Independent copy-pastes Politis newspaper, adds some very obviously Turkey/Turkish Cypriot UBP party spin, and everyone knows this but pretends it is something new.

Trump has reduced the presidency and its power to shape the world through its wishes to such an extent that Spain's response to an announcement of a full trade embargo by the world's most powerful state is "We note that statement with calm and normality." elpais.com/espana/2026-...

V useful paper on how to build European defence institutions in the short/medium run which realistically function without the US. Deterrence requires pre-delegation of authority (military/economic), allowing automated planned responses in a crisis w/o EU members having to agree under pressure. 1/3
Jana Puglierin@jpuglierin.bsky.social · 2mo agoEuropeans face a kind of “Schrödinger’s NATO”: the US appears both committed to, and absent from, the alliance at the same time. Instead of keeping NATO fully reliant on America, Europeans need to create a security architecture underpinned by Europeans themselves. 1/3

I see unionists in Northern Ireland are working again to bring a hard border back to Ireland by claiming they are being inundated with asylum seekers who came through the Republic. The truth is that the vast majority of the flows are in the other direction. www.rte.ie/news/2025/09...

Minister for Justice Jim O'Callaghan has said that "very close" to 87.66% of people claiming international protection are crossing the border from Northern Ireland before claiming asylum here.
