It’s time to cancel #Trump ‘s state visit to the #UK this autumn. He repeatedly shows himself to be unworthy.

RTE wins today's prize for headline-writing www.rte.ie/news/busines...

How lax are #Whitehouse procedures that this disgraceful image of #POTUS can be posted on the official website without the #President even knowing? Or is it that after the outrage and backlash, #Trump is once again lying to save his skin? news.sky.com/story/donald...

The British government is to strip sex offenders of refugee protections. But the same government will soon grant one prominent sex offender the honour of a state visit to the #UK. The state visit should be scrapped and #Trump should be #impeached www.gov.uk/government/n...

#Trump is no more than a traitor to any but his own interests. He needs prosecution and locking up.

Only mugs vote for #Farage www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

The game is up for good: there is nothing smart or strategic in #Trump 's embarrassing exemption from tariffs for smartphones and computers, just gross incompetence once again. Trump doesn't think things through. Americans who voted for him have four years to repent and suffer.

#Trump has merely paused his #tariff nonsense for 90 days, not scrapped it. What sensible #business leader would commit to major spending or investment in those 90 days? Even when he is forced to back down on half-witted policy, as now, Trump damages all around him.

Kseniia Petrova, a Russian scientist at Harvard Medical School, was detained at Logan Airport after returning from France and sent to an ICE detention in Louisiana, The Insider reports. A big critic of Putin and the war in Ukraine, she may now be deported to Russia.

We are in a dance towards war with #Putin and #Trump. #EU countrues and the #UK need urgently to ramp up their capacity for world leadership, politically, economically and militarily. news.sky.com/story/putin-...

“Elias Law Group will not be deterred from fighting for democracy in court. There will be no negotiation with this White House about the clients we represent or the lawsuits we bring on their behalf."

Starmer has done an amazing job to secure world peace. Discuss:

"If Roosevelt had told Churchill to sue for peace on any terms with Adolf Hitler and to fork over Britain’s coal reserves to the United States in exchange for no American security guarantees, it might have approximated what Trump did to Zelensky." www.nytimes.com/2025/02/28/o...

Hats off to the London summit participants and to King Charles. They taught vulgar #Trump a lesson. #Trump is isolating the #USA from the free world. Time for a change of policy - but preferably of resident - in the #Whitehouse

Rethinking my entire wardrobe after this right-wing cable TV journalist, Brian Glenn, asked President #Zelensky why he wasn't wearing a suit. What an inspiration Glenn is when it comes to looks.

My goodness -- but it's true that a picture paints a thousand words. Compare and contrast this pic of #Zelensky and #Starmer today with those noxious images yesterday with #Trump and #Vance

Time for a media black-out of the White House. Trump's latest action is fascism at work. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/25/b...

Isn't delivering Russia's agenda Reform and Nigel Farage's raison d'être? And would anyone really be surprised at them getting paid to do it? www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Europe has designated Macron as their moron whisperer.

Takes one to know one. Does Johnson know Trump has lost credibility? news.sky.com/story/johnso...

Why on earth would Europe stand by and let Putin-stooge #Trump snap up #Ukraine ‘s rare metals? Time for Democrats to stand together and oppose these #bastards

BREAKING: The Associated Press sues three Trump administration officials over access to presidential events, citing the First Amendment.

Where is the American opposition in this urgent moment of world need?

🚨NEW: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is planning to fire Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff C.Q. Brown, a 4-Star General and 41-year veteran of the Air Force who flew over 130 hours in combat as a fighter pilot. REPOST if you stand with General C.Q. Brown against Hegseth!

Always wrong.

The community note 🤌😘

I #StandWithCanada. Please tell me you do too. #GetLostTrump

#Trump wanting to annex #Canada makes life easy for @[email protected] for all he needs to do is stop pussyfooting around, stand up to the bully and tell him #WeStandWithCabada @mrjamesob.bsky.social

Keeping up with the #Putins. Is #Trump saying he wants #Canada to be his #Ukraine ? Time for the #Commonwealth to tell him where to go.

With #China imposing US export controls on critically important minerals, including tellurium, ruthenium and molybdenum, shouldn't somebody ask @tomlehrer1.bsky.social for a comment? #TheElements

Nobody will do for #Trump what Gerald #Ford did for Jimmy #Carter

Why aren’t the great and the good now being evacuated from the LA fires referred to as refugees? My heart still goes out to them.

The astonishing cognitive dissonance of a health secretary who insists he'll save the NHS - yet kicks the social care crisis into touch until 2028. 1 in 8 medically fit NHS patients cannot leave hospital for lack of social care. Of course A&E is overwhelmed 🤷‍♀️ www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

It turns out that Farage was right; foreigners were coming for his job.

Fanboy Farage finds a great hashtag . . . From @theindependent.bsky.social today: “Farage was described by the DC source as “an eccentric British fanboy who they indulge but he hasn’t been of much use and think he just wants to bask in reflected glory.” #FanboyFarage
