They need to release the Russia report urgently. Who do we need to send to prison immediately?

He also said " It must have strong US backing ".
Well so far we've seen none of that strong US backing, if anything, it's back-tracking.
So, no US backing means what exactly ?

The simple fact is America has become my enemy. They have aligned with Russia, Belarus and North Korea, they are a gangster state without a moral compass. Britain is now leading the free world.

That approximates what Zelensky tried to say to Trump, that his country feels the war now and the U.S. might feel it later, even with an ocean--at which point Comrade Trump went ballistic & screamed don't tell us how we'll feel--we have the cards--you have no cards--we made you powerful..

Surly it's only parliament who can declare we will be at war?

speccypaula.bsky.social•1 day ago

That's great that we care about lost lives and the longer term consequences of war. So, what about Palestine? We'd be fools to think that won't bite us in the arse in the future.

FFS is Keef trying to go all out Churchillian. 🤔🤣🤣

Starmer has done well. Credit where it is due. He’s a good and serious man.

june-mitchell.bsky.social•1 day ago

Better, Keir is being himself.

alisoncitrine.bsky.social•1 day ago

Can you imagine Johnson or Truss in charge,,,I thank god we've got Keir !

bill6750.bsky.social•1 day ago

He’s really been impressive throughout this whole, tumultuous week. A statesman.

alisoncitrine.bsky.social•1 day ago

100%

elk1984.bsky.social•1 day ago

He's doing a better job than Bozo ever did.

stuart-moss.bsky.social•1 day ago

Definitely! It's good to see number 10 staff working hard setting up this vitally important international meeting rather than dancing about getting pissed.

Amen

Perhaps we could have Peace Bonds, like the war bonds for WW’s but to enable peace.

I’m loving the sound of planes in the air. Close the skies, stop the massacre….

It is for starmer. He supports and helps Israel to continue its genocide against Palestinians.

How much precious metals will Britain get? I wonder

bmacken.bsky.social•1 day ago

Just spitballing but maybe we could call this coalition we are part of the European Union.

archdukeofgloom.bsky.social•1 day ago

Better action than inaction. With a little bit of additional support Russia may even get pushed back.

sanharan30.bsky.social•1 day ago

Yep, more sanctions, freeze assets, close the skies, we can do this.

archdukeofgloom.bsky.social•1 day ago

The frozen assets need diverting to the Ukrainian defence fund as a matter of urgency. Enough to make a difference not just hold the status quo. Paying Russians to defect would help.

ticgran45.bsky.social•1 day ago

What about Palestine ? 🇵🇸

wurzle.bsky.social•1 day ago

Jesus wept, it's not an either fucking or moment. You do realise WWIII has just fucking started right?

Do people realise we are tracking Russian undersea cable threats off the coast of the UK? The threat is that clear and present. https://www.gov.uk/government/news/joint-expeditionary-force-activates-uk-led-reaction-system-to-track-threats-to-undersea-infrastructure-and-monitor-russian-shadow-fleet

When are you people going to start the conversation about trump working for Putin? Quit this bs about needing to have “strong backing from the US”. It’s not going to happen. Start approaching the situation as tho Russia has now captured and is dismantling the US. And will soon steal or own us.

finite187.bsky.social•1 day ago

Good news, time to bring an end to this. Russia is running out of money and weponary, they're getting desperate.

fergie19.bsky.social•1 day ago

Thank fuck a grown up is in charge

taormint.bsky.social•1 day ago

They need keyboard warriors as well. The massive amounts of disinformation being pushed through platforms like Facebook are appalling. People are quoting talking points from Russian propaganda. Russia got Trump in office through social media.

alexgav11.bsky.social•1 day ago

Do we know why the Baltic states weren’t at the summit??

elk1984.bsky.social•1 day ago

Cock up by the sounds of it. Apology given and they'll be at the next meeting from the BBC reports.

alexgav11.bsky.social•1 day ago

Good good, I hoped it had been something like that, rather than a deliberate decision.
