What is it that San Marino, Taiwan, Uruguay have that appeals more to the #UKGovernment than the EU? Just 23,000 people came to UK last year on youth mobility visas ⁦@DavidLammy⁩ ⁦@bphillipsonMP⁩ . More power to the EU Ambassadors! theguardian.com/politics/202…

This is very well deserved. Stephen is a gem, and has done so much for the community of at risk scholars around the world. Congratulations @CARA1933 and respect to @EdinburghUni
Very honoured that @EdinburghUni VC Prof Peter Mathieson this week awarded Cara's Director the degree of ‘Doctor honoris causa’. Provost @profkimgraham paid tribute to Cara's work to rescue academics from many countries including Afghanistan, Sudan, Palestine, Syria and Ukraine.

🇫🇷Quelle surprise ! Sitôt élu, Bardella rejoint le groupe de Viktor Orban et soutient la Russie. Ils utilisent nos institutions européennes pour combattre la Liberté et défendre la guerre d'un dictateur qui déteste tout ce que notre civilisation représente et souhaite nous détruire. Puis il passera sur les plateaux pour expliquer pourquoi il n'a plus aucun lien avec la Russie, mais nous ne sommes pas dupes. Et il se rêve Premier ministre de la France... Pour une fois qu'il vient au Parlement européen en plus. L'Histoire se souviendra de vos votes @J_Bardella et vous serez jugé en conséquence.
Au Parlement européen, Jordan Bardella vote contre une résolution de soutien à l'Ukraine l.bfmtv.com/C3ku

Congratulations @vonderleyen. Resetting the UK’s relationship with the EU is one of our top priorities. There’s much we can do together, and the UK looks forward to working with you as the closest of allies, partners, and neighbours.
Congratulations @vonderleyen on your re-election as President of the @EU_Commission. I look forward to working closely with you to reset the relationship between the UK and the European Union.

The Department for Opportunity- a branding to live up to.
Getting my feet under the table at @educationgovuk - the department for opportunity. From here, we’ll work to give every child the best start in life, drive high and rising standards and ensure that background is no barrier to getting on in life.

There's something quite psychologically appealing about French two-round voting isn't there. Round One: Vote with your heart. How's that working out? Pretty scary isn't it. Round Two: Let's vote with our heads this time.

today we are celebrating the second year of an extraordinary project which has brought more than 100 UK Universities together with Ukrainian universities to support them to continue their teaching and research during the war. For info see link: twinningukraine.com/

Unlike the Conservatives, Labour will fund, rebuild and modernise Charing Cross Hospital. But if you want change, you have to vote for it. Please vote for a Labour MP who will work with a Labour government and deliver results, not petitions. 🌹🌹

From Guardian 22/06 - first time I have heard ⁦@keirstarmer_⁩ ⁦@stellacreasy⁩ mention education. Is this a youth mobility programme for study and work experience ⁦⁦@EUErasmusPlusMa⁩ style?

David is a former Conservative party branch chair in Fulham. He's just resigned his 40-year membership to support me on the campaign trail. Thank you, David, for believing that Labour can deliver change. If elected as MP for Chelsea & Fulham, I'll be on the side of all residents.
