Could not agree with you more. Mr Farage you must be cooking up a stew of something unpalatable out there in your land of Reform. Charlatan Casserole anyone?

monkey666.bsky.social•2 days ago

What do Reform UK and their Quisling leader Nigel Farage have to say about the betrayal of Ukraine?

I’m sure Nigel will be staying as quiet as possible in case he upsets his Fuhrer.

Ein Volk, Ein Reich, Ein Führer! Eh Nigel?

try one voice aiming for justice and fairness. peabrain and his lies will be gone for ever

The planet will collapse before we finish debunking Trump incessant lies--there are millions! Rhetoric, a fine human thing, is good. But time's up! End-game buzzer is ringing. Time to revolt.

Farrage and the rest of the far-right tories will agree with trump.

Badenoch and Farage definitely won’t…🤮

econorfolk.bsky.social•3 days ago

@Ed Davey is still posting on Twitter? He is right in what he says but still supporting the very government he is decrying. Can anyone else see the problem with that?

humzas-brain.bsky.social•3 days ago

He’s right, but the nutty Reform and Tory loonies will still struggle to actually voice a criticism of Trump, so they’ll deflect instead

It's easy to be the opposition, and then accuse the government of wasting money.

james-lowry.bsky.social•3 days ago

The US must be called to answer for the insidious statements made today. It’s beyond unacceptable, If Zelenskyy is a dictator, so is Churchill and Franklin D. Roosevelt.

jimhigham.bsky.social•3 days ago

Quite. Actually Churchill left the Labour leader in charge of government whilst he ran the war. I’m no fan of Churchill but that’s how to do it. True leadership and integrity.

james-lowry.bsky.social•3 days ago

That’s fair but Parliament did suspend elections until the end of the war. Ukraine however have in their constitution that there cannot be an election while in a state of war. What Trump is proposing is for their parliament and Supreme Court to suspend their constitution.

jimhigham.bsky.social•3 days ago

He’s trampling all over the US constitution

james-lowry.bsky.social•3 days ago

He’s beyond that now, we’re now in unprecedented territory with the United States. I don’t even think they have a government or constitution anymore

I would have hope for that if it wasn't for the not so small fact of Nigel and the likes of him being on the rise in the UK

christhecatsmum.bsky.social•3 days ago

Starmer will need to get off the fence and denounce Trump.

bettertimes69.bsky.social•3 days ago

Hard to argue with Ed’s sentiments there. Unfortunately, impossible to see the likes of Kemi and Nige entertaining any thoughts of doing what is right.

evanitamushroom.bsky.social•3 days ago

And yet Kemi did

maestroc.bsky.social•3 days ago

Very belatedly. Perhaps she just read the YouGov poll showing how unpopular Trump is with the British public. Politically expedient not to hitch one's wagon too closely to his...

evanitamushroom.bsky.social•3 days ago

True. I’m no fan, but she did say it.

tippingpoint24.bsky.social•3 days ago

Kemi will probably be wondering what to say, and as usual say the wrong thing tomorrow

drboabrahamsen.physician.dk•3 days ago

Exactly how I felt. This is essentially where it ends for Trump. Zero credibility and doomed to have the legacy of a nonentity. Build him a pyramid and pay to have his name read out in perpetuity, he is still gone and forgotten.

croesfrid.bsky.social•3 days ago

Exactly. And gone with what credibility he may have had is any hope of a Nobel peace prize. Anlwcus.

I think Kemi did put out a statement

One would hope so 🤞

imageplotter.bsky.social•2 days ago

Yeah, but I agree overall, it’s a sad picture.

tonero72.bsky.social•3 days ago

Trump and Putin hold all the cards. Trashing Zelenskyy is to replace him with a pro Russian regime. In return US gets mineral rights and an end to weapons supply. Drawing a line is like King Cnut. Unless Europe can make wider coalition this is end game. Z tried as war criminal and taken to Russia.

mehero.bsky.social•2 days ago

Which cards?
Russia has subordinated its whole economy ( which is massively smaller than Europe's) to conquering Ukraine.
USA had rolled over and surrendered to Russia. If USA won't spend their money on us, they have no leverage.

tonero72.bsky.social•2 days ago

Russia has possession of a significant part of Ukraine and is gradually gaining territory. Ukraine can't win without US weapons.

mehero.bsky.social•2 days ago

Well, Ukraine can't win with US help either, since US is not willing to help.

This is no different to Russia and Germany sharing out Poland, except USA wants Ukraine's minerals, not its lebensraum.

tonero72.bsky.social•2 days ago

Exactly.

mehero.bsky.social•2 days ago

Yes, but I think Europe (plus UK minus Hungary) can call Trump's bluff.
We have made ourselves used to taking from USA, but when nothing is on offer, and we get used to managing our own defence, what cards does the US have?

thecatsuncle.bsky.social•3 days ago

One can but hope.

spanogroats.bsky.social•3 days ago

Tories will be too busy gargling on Trump's balls to voice opposition.

davidstevomonkey66.bsky.social•3 days ago

I hope so but i doubt it, its a good time to put farage on the spot.

angrypusscat.bsky.social•2 days ago

He won't. Because he's declining to speak to the press. Not because he's a #russianPuppet and a #traitor to the west, Europe and the UK, oh no, not at all. @eddavey.libdems.org.uk

I genuinely can't quite work out whether Trump is a power-crazed sociopath, thicker than a whale omelette, or simply just mentally ill. And I'm not sure which of those scenarios is the worst.

maestroc.bsky.social•3 days ago

Both are true, surely?

ukcougar.bsky.social•3 days ago

That was three things...?

maestroc.bsky.social•2 days ago

I read "a power-crazed sociopath, thicker than a whale omelette" as one statement.

Not sure how well that's playing for them now, given how unpopular Trump is. JHB's evisceration of Tice at the weekend was marvellous, and I think it struck a chord with Reform voters.

He calls Zelenskyy a dictator because he can only see as far as his own reflection for insult material. It’s all he’s ever had.

Sadly, I don’t think that will happen. The voice of opposition will be loud but firmly in the minority.

cricketnut.bsky.social•3 days ago

Sorry. Can’t see the Tories nor Reform saying anything bad against Trump. Mind you I don’t think our MSM will either. They will either make excuses for the all the fascists or get their traitorous reporters to invite them to come here & take over the UK.

Trump and Putin expect the West to buckle and roll over for the new political alliance.

The sooner Canada cuts off US access to oil, gas, electricity and the EU reinforces Ukraine the better.

glenntheplummer.bsky.social•3 days ago

The UK and Europe must step up and replace America as the lead defender of Ukraine. The war is in Europe’s backyard and you are lazy cheap and chicken. Putin is Europe’s criminal and as Trump tries to sell Zelensky out, only the EU and UK have the money and power to defend Ukraine and end the war.

Can it be quickly written in English law that all politicians must refer to him as that?

Definitely. But probably not on Twitter where Musk algorithms suspend you for less. But he says free speech is his thing. He’s a lying charlatan.

As for Farage be good to see him squirming over his brown nosing of Trump , shame his friends in most of the media never take him to task
