🇪🇺 🇬🇧 Today we have reached a political agreement in principle with the UK on a new way forward on the Protocol on Ireland and Northern Ireland.
The ‘Windsor Framework’ will allow us to begin a new chapter that will work for all people and businesses in Northern Ireland, with long-lasting solutions that respond directly to their concerns and protect our respective markets.
Most importantly, it protects the peace gains of the Belfast Good Friday.
We can now build a stronger EU-UK partnership.
These two ex-leaders are at best pathological liars & at worst, corrupt criminals.
So how is it that they are still on the world stage, apparently being allowed to seek power again?
This indicates a major fault with US & UK democracy that urgently needs fixing.
How can we lecture Putin & Xi-Jinping if these charlatans represent democracy’s moral high ground?
Proven liars should be barred from seeking public office.
And politicians should serve their people, not themselves

No surprise here then.

@ChrisMayLA6 @davidallengreen and 7 is also unacceptable. Northern Ireland is the perfect over-constrained problem. (Which was obvious before Brexit, if anyone in government had cared one ι) The only solution was not to do Brexit - there was no form possible that didn’t destabilise the settlement there.

Despite feigning outrage when P&O sacked 800 workers last year, the government just voted to water down plan to tackle P&O’s unlawful job cuts. Too little too late for seafarers, meanwhile Govt merrily attack the right to strike in another bill -obvious where their sympathies lie

Another day, another fossil fuel giant announces record profits. Firms like BP are climate criminals, polluting our planet & escaping with billions. Rather than make them pay for climate-wrecking damage, Govt has designed massive windfall tax loophole worth billions. It must stop

Infuriating everyday sexism.
Email from a publisher via my website addressed to...
...my husband "Stuart" aka Wally, asking if he'd submit photos from the site for publication in a book.
OK- the site mentions us both, but my name comes FIRST on every page, including the bio page, plus the correspondent had to SCROLL PAST ME on the bio page to even discover his real name as elsewhere he's just called Wally.
All the photos are mine. https://www.arranwildwalks.com/
A medical degree gave me working enjoyment , the Open University allowed me to develop maths and physics because we know the rest is (essential) stamp collecting .A lifelong learner , it’s fun .We need less men in suits in charge.
