Why has Trump eased sanctions on Russian oil - and will it help Putin? The US said easing sanctions on Russian oil would provide only a limited financial boost to Putin.

#Trump helping Putin. Well played 🤦🙈https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cm2871wyz9ko

Hi @martinnutbeem.bsky.social
Hope all’s well. You’re obviously using Bluesky (rather than Twitter/X)?
Is your TEL team using it (rather than Twitter/X)?

Hi. Do you still use Twitter for these chats, or have you moved to Bluesky? Thanks.

Europe on the Edge with Katya Adler - Series 1: Episode 1 Katya visits Italy and Germany to explore how they’re changing in the turbulent new world. She attends the Palio in Siena, joins a Nato exercise and meets a family building a nuclear bunker.

Hugely enjoyed Katya Adler’s #BBC series: ‘Europe on the Edge’. An interesting trip through Italy, Germany, Spain & France assessing how these states are adapting in a changing world & the issues they are grappling with (economy, immigration, climate change…) www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/epis... #Europe

Are there any HE or FE #TEL #DigitalEducation teams here on #Bluesky (who’ve possibly moved over from Twitter/X)? Uni of Reading TEL thinking of doing this. Interested to hear from others who are using Bluesky - please get in touch ☺️

The White House Posts Video of Iran Strikes Mixed with Video Game Footage YouTube video by Late Night with Seth Meyers

Gamifying the American & Israeli strikes on Iran & mixing with movie footage is disgraceful. This action is not a movie or a game - its real life & people are being killed. An indictment of the mentality at work in the #WhiteHouse

#BBCLauraK Genuinely wondering why #ReformUK rep on the show this morning… Is this related to polling?

Trump accuses Starmer of seeking to 'join wars after we've already won' The remarks come after a public back-and-forth between Trump and Sir Keir Starmer over UK involvement in the US's joint offensive with Israel against Iran.

#BBCLauraK Trump & his team can’t articulate a coherent rationale for their action in Iran. The British PM’s responsibility is to act in the UK’s national interest, just as Trump’s is to act in America’s. Trump is a bully who doesn’t like being told no. Well done, Kier.

Starmer:
"Late to your illegal war, General BoneSpurs? What a cheek."

"It took America 3 years to join us against Germany in WW1, and two years to help fight the Nazis in WW2!"

"By the way, where are those #EpsteinFiles you promised?"
