Keir Starmer's former Chief of Staff, Morgan McSweeney, says he thought Peter Mandelson was the right man to become Ambassador to the US because the UK was exposed after #brexit and Mandelson was best placed to get Trump to agree to a trade deal.

Security guarantees for #Ukraine must be "similar to NATO's Article 5 with continued United States engagement", insists European Council President Costa @eucopresident.consilium.europa.eu

EU fears sale of Anglo American's nickel business to a Chinese state-owned company could lead to cut to Europe's supplies. Nickel is used in electronics, batteries and for making stainless steel. European Commission has launched an investigation on competition grounds.

EU's climate service now estimates global warming will breach 1.5°C in May 2029. When the Paris Agreement was signed, #Copernicus estimated it would not happen until March 2043. #COP30 #environment #globalwarming climate.copernicus.eu/rapid-approa...

European Council President Costa draws parallels between Russia's war in Ukraine with Trump's threats towards Greenland. The EU cannot accept violations of international law whether in Gaza, Latin America, Ukraine or Greenland, @eucopresident.consilium.europa.eu says

Rutte concedes that he has failed to convince European allies to commit to spending 0.25% of GDP on #Ukraine. But the NATO chief says there is now an open discussion (others would call it an argument) about a few countries "doing the heavy lifting" in support of Ukraine.

Rutte: Iran posed a threat to Europe as well as Middle East. "We are all better off" with Khamenei gone and Iran's nuclear and ballistic threat "beaten and degraded", says NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte #Iran

War in the Middle East will weigh on the European economy, but "we are well positioned to navigate this uncertainty", European Central Bank chief @president.ecb.europa.eu insists. #ECB #Economy #EU #Iran #Trump

“Warrior-focused legal culture” is a phrase worth watching closely. In a healthy system, military lawyers help commanders fight lawfully. In a dangerous system, lawyers are pressured to make unlawful or abusive decisions look legally defensible.

There is no amount of fuel that can be safely stored at the Critical Energy Infrastructure Hub. We need to create a plan to cease operations entirely. I’m running for City Council because we need legislators who are prioritizing emergency preparedness and public safety over fossil fuel corporations.

Images of the future motivate. They unite people around shared goals. They energise teams. But in most organisations, vision statements are vague and inherited. Not lived. Not co-created. What would it take to make vision tangible?

I saw screen grabs of this posted here and thought, "Is that real?" B/c it's repugnant. I don't know why I'm surprised anymore at how grotesque this Administration is, but this is on the official WH site.
