@NoContextBrits Trans-fusion

Describe this area in one word.

It's inspiring

@PolitlcsUK I like it. Costly perhaps but it's inspiring and motivating.

🚨 NEW: Andy Burnham chairs the first meeting of the National Economic Council at No 10 North

@theiaincameron Great story!

And here is the strangest part. Rain falls in Angola months earlier, so the flood reaches Botswana during its dry winter, just when water is becoming scarcest. 5/n

The Okavango is one of Africa's great rivers. But it never reaches the sea. Instead, it flows into the Kalahari Desert, spreads across the sand... and simply vanishes. Why? 1/n

@clashreport The thing Minister is, that it takes more than a dozen soldiers to run a modern army.

Greek Defense Minister Nikos Dendias: By 2030, our country will have the strongest and most modern armed forces in its history—and, I dare say, among the most modern armed forces in Europe.

@clashreport Dear Cyprus🇨🇾 Is FM Kombos talking with a Cypriot voice? You have this ally who hypnotises you that your tested diplomatic skills are rubbish. Warmongers you, even though you kept the balance with🇹🇷. An ally who now has armed 'enclaves' on CYP & pushes you to be his front line...

Greek Cyprus Foreign Minister Constantinos Kombos: The Türkiye we have to face today has nothing to do with the Türkiye of 10 years ago. What exists right now is a very different Türkiye. I also don't see the national consensus that corresponds to the level of danger that exists. I've been accused of fearmongering when I've said this before. It's not about fearmongering. It's about looking very simply at facts and data. I can refer to and present numbers. That is not the purpose here — but they exist.

@Artemisapphire @Londonist Sure. But the new buildings are 'rat proof'. There is no need for wire-wool to block every new crack that appears.

@CBuhayer @Londonist It's going to be deuced hard in London to build much that isn't along the banks of the Thames.

If you could demolish one building in London which would it be and why? 💥 (We asked this one a few years back, but would like to hear from you again, as we're making a video!)

Labour were going to get 15% in a general election with this man. 🤣

@Artemisapphire @Londonist The building is by the Thames which hastens its deteriorating infrastructure and also provides endless entry points & hiding spots for rodents from the embankment. It costs a fortune in upkeep and restoration works will cost more than re-building. We can do better.

@CBuhayer @Londonist Slightly perplexed by one reason you think it should be demolished is "it's beside the Thames"

@kos_data Or just perhaps, Tesla was born into a family of ethnic Serbs in Smiljan, a village in the Military Frontier of the Austrian Empire & now in Croatia. His father Milutin Tesla was a priest of the Eastern Orthodox Church. But was he in fact an Eastern Orthodox from Kosovo?

He was Kosovar 🥱

@Olszewski_RJO @CamdenLabour @NanoucheU @hstplabour Indeed. You put it in a nutshell.

Labour GAIN from Green! Huge congratulations to @CamdenLabour's Nanouche Umeadi for winning the Regents Park by-election. Great to see her back on Camden Council, after defeating the relentless negativity and posturing of Camden Green party.

@craoft @BrilliantMaps @MaritimesCrimes A claim is illegal in very specific cases. Regarding Turkey, its claim has no basis in international law, it is contrary to international law. As an ancient maritime nation Greeks know a thing or two about the law of the sea.

@Al_Stoyanov Of course the region was far more integrated than this map shows. Contemporary eyes reach contemporary conclusions.

@Young_Turk_Cyp Power was always with Turkey and ancient links were always between Greece and Turkey - that is the only alliance that really matters. The Greek Cypriots have not backed any horse, usually the 'horse' just gallops through Cyprus to conquer.

Is the balance of power shifting - in the region, and in Cyprus? 🇹🇷🇬🇧 Türkiye and the UK have signed a Security and Defence Partnership on the sidelines of the NATO Summit in Ankara, following a meeting between President Erdoğan and Prime Minister Starmer. It deepens cooperation across defence, cyber and space, building on the Eurofighter Typhoon programme - and Britain still holds its two Sovereign Base Areas on the island. 🇹🇷🇺🇸 It comes alongside President Trump’s announcement that the US will lift its CAATSA sanctions on Türkiye, with F-35 jets back on the table. Türkiye, the guarantor and backer of the TRNC, is being courted by Washington and London alike. 🇬🇷🇨🇾🇮🇱On the other side stands the Israel–Greece–Greek Cypriot axis. But the Greek Cypriots have pinned their hopes on an Israel that grows more isolated by the month - losing favour in Washington and making enemies across the region over its bombardment and slaughter of Gaza and its strikes on its neighbours. 📌 So we ask: is the tide turning in Cyprus - and has the Greek Cypriot leadership backed the wrong horse?

Δώσαμε τα πάντα στην 🇺🇦κατ εντολήν των🇺🇸,όταν η 🇹🇷 έπαιζε ταυτόχρονα με 🇺🇦και 🇷🇺και μεσολαβούσε για την παράκαμψη όλων των εμπάργκο. Και έρχεται η ανταμοιβή μας,τώρα,πριν από τη σύνοδο του ΝΑΤΟ,στην πρωτεύουσα του απρόβλεπτου γείτονα..Εκείνη με την Μονή της Χώρας του Αχωρήτου.

Parliamentary Legacy for Burnham

@Costas_Melas Το θέμα ΔΕΝ είναι η εγκατάλειψη της γης. Αλλά η πώλησή της. Να την κρατάμε υπό ελληνική κατοχή. Κανείς να επιτρέπεται να την αγοράσει. Μόνο να την μισθώνει για 10 το πολύ 20 χρόνια. Ξέρουμε όταν ξένοι αγοράζουν για πάντα τεράστιες εκτάσεις γης, κατακτούν, μας αδιάζουν.

Επιτέλους κάποιος τα ειπε Η ελληνική επαρχία ερημώνει. Απαιτούνται άμεσα και δραστικά μέτρα ανάταξης της ελληνικής υπαίθρου,σχέδιο αποτελεσματικής αποκέντρωσης.Αποτροπή της επιθετικής εξαγοράς ολόκληρων οικισμών και περιοχών και μάλιστα στην παραμεθόρια ζώνη,από ξένα συμφέροντα

@KarlTurnerMP @UKLabour I remember clearly how the top priority was 'to be re-elected in 5 years time.' Not the now, but sail by to be re-elected.

Still very probably the best PM we never had followed by John Smith. My political hero by a big margin. Why? Becuase Neil did the heavy lifting to make @UKLabour electable. 🌹
