When Notre-Dame burned in 2019, the world stopped.
Today, Russia damages Kyiv Pechersk Lavra, a monastery nearly 1,000 years old and older than Notre-Dame itself.
A thousand years of history deserves the same attention, the same sympathy, and the same protection.

10 years ago my wife, the mum of our kids & the MP for Batley&Spen was killed by a far right extremist.
At anniversaries I try to be optimistic about the future. But not this time. In the ten years since she was killed we have gone backwards & I fear our democracy is now at risk

Hague is right that Burnham must act fast but the real urgency is rejoining the EU Single Market to fix the Brexit damage hitting farmers, food prices and growth.
Slashing welfare isn’t the answer and won’t fly with Labour MPs or the public. We need investment in British industry, domestic food production (rooted in the 1947 Agriculture Act), reopened fertiliser plants, and an end to decline.
@AndyBurnhamGM has the platform in Makerfield to deliver that reset not more austerity or denial.
Time is short. Mandate the change.

“This is a sign of things to come.”
We are firmly in a multi-party politics era, esp with our broken electoral system. Parties need to become more comfortable with collaboration and more focused on delivering for residents than indulging in tribalism.

🚩 Philip Rycroft, the top civil servant who helped deliver Brexit, now says:
“Brexit is not done.”
He’s calling for a proper national debate on Britain’s future with Europe, including the possibility of rejoining. Ten years on, with a 4% GDP hit and a changed world, he believes our long-term interests lie in closer ties.
Even the people who made Brexit happen are questioning it now.

🇬🇪🇪🇺 Our choice is Europe!
My people made this choice centuries ago based on our values, beliefs, principles! We continue on this path today.
For 563 consecutive days, we have been protesting against rigged elections and the rollback of democracy. There is no doubt that we will keep fighting until we achieve:
1. New, fair and free elections
2. The release of all political prisoners
We will not stop until victory!

America wants to destroy the EU. Russia wants to destroy the EU. China wants to destroy the EU.
Why? Because without the EU, European countries are economically and geopolitically powerless.
The EU is far from perfect, but it’s the only way for European sovereignty.
America wants to destroy the EU.
We cannot let them win. We have to believe in ourselves, and build independence.
