Bishop of London: "The best safeguard is the current law. I urge Parliament to reject this Bill. It is neither safe nor compassionate. We should be focusing on providing the best possible palliative care services. Dying people should be offered hope, not fear." www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

As for "we don‘t want him until he makes a clear choice“. Grow up. Cooperation is a choice.

So, looks like Keir Starmer is going to the meeting in Paris on Monday. Also, looks like Weimar+ rather than entire EU. It is very good news that he is going and I wish people would focus on that and not on the clichéd way he talks about it. We need the UK for Europe. So I will take this, thank you.

Vance was right on just one thing: Europe lacks a clear positive vision of what it wants to defend. The answer must be "the things Vance rejects": truth, science, liberal democracy, rule of law, resisting dictators, climate action. It will have to do that without, & sometimes against, the US Govt.

*Incredibly* positive news for Scotland's northeast, as the energy transition brings *£30 billion* in investments. Remember: as powerful as the far-right looks right now, they have nothing to offer but a retreat into the past borne along on a current of scientific and economic illiteracy.
