This proposed mineral deal with Ukraine is outright extortion. Trump isn’t offering protection for Ukraine and it will of course be rejected (as it should be). I imagine Trump will then blame Ukraine for not being willing to negotiate and walk away. He may also walk away from NATO at the same time

You know, J.D. Vance wasn't there to inform the defenders of Kyiv in 2022 that Ukraine couldn’t win, so they fought bravely and fiercely and eventually defeated the Russian onslaught to take the Ukrainan capital, thus totally derailing Putin's blitzkrieg.

I had not realised they had done this, this is not good at all. I've looked into HB to see what would happen if we could no longer afford rent. They expect you to find a 3 bed house for about £1,100 a month in my area where most houses are between £1,600 and £1,800 a month.

👀 It’s 36F and Ukrainians are forced to live without heat, hot water, electricity, etc. Tonight many 🇺🇦 could freeze to death as the temperature drops below 0C. This is the harsh realities of their everyday lives. The west must wake up and do something before it is too late!!!

I hope the irony of a Brexit cheerleader like Badenoch telling the CBI that "Labour doesn't listen to business" and indulges "political ideas that result in cost and red tape" is not lost on people. Does she really think she can gloss over the fact she rode that very economic vandalism to the top?
