‘I felt nothing but disgust’: Tesla owners vent their anger at Elon Musk The tycoon’s links with Donald Trump and Germany’s far-right AfD have slammed the brakes on sales and put the car’s owners in a spin. www.theguardian.com/business/202...

I object to @reform-uk-official.bsky.social being here. This is a great forum and doesn't need to be sullied like this.

Well done France! UK next please!

“Blub blub blub a Mr Macron came into the nursery yesterday, slapped me on the arm and told me I was a naughty baby for telling lies. I want nanny Musk.”

🚨🚨 This is bloody fucking insane. I do generally desist using foul language but the spineless, shameless traitors of the Trump administration deserves a special place in hell for this action. US is no longer a supporter but (I thought I was never going this) rather a threat to the global order. 👇

Well done France! 👏👏👏👏👏 We are crying out for this here. In this country there is huge disparity between the richest and the poorest.

Trump has called Zelensky a Dictator.. but refuses to say Putin, his bestie/boss, is a Dictator 🥴👇🏼 Much like calling Ghandi a mass murdering architect of a holocaust, but refusing to say Hitler was 🤷🏼‍♂️

93 countries supported the eEU-Ukrainian resolution that named Russia an aggressor state and called on it to remove its troops from Ukraine The US, Russia, Belarus and North Korea voted against Read that again, the US sided with Russia and North Korea 👀

Why America Should Be on Ukraine's Side and Not Putin's Side, explained in 8 minutes. open.substack.com/pub/michaelm...

FACTS: Zelenskyy is a hero. Putin is a war criminal. Russia has killed civilians. Russia started the war by invading Ukraine. Russia has been losing the war the entire time. Russia has had >800,000 casualties in the war. Europe has helped Ukraine >2x as much as the US has.

The lack of social housing means councils have spent at least £1.6 billion on temporary accommodation, including hotels and B&Bs, over the past five years - The huge cost of not building council houses!

Great news but can't help feeling just a tad envious.

Macron setting bold example for Starmer.

Macron made Trump “the first president in history who had to be interrupted and corrected by an ally when the president of the United States was lying and lying about that ally” www.huffpost.com/entry/lawren...

Tesla starts 2025 with sharp drop in sales in Europe https://www.ft.com/content/cdd0b5c8-2703-4fd4-9ebf-26087cac8523

🚨🚨 Welcome news: @vonderleyen.ec.europa.eu on Monday opened the door to #Ukraine joining the European Union before 2030 — within her current term as @ec.europa.eu president. 🧵 www.politico.eu/article/vdl-...

Is this because Conservatives were or self obsessed they didn’t do anything so sensible for us? “The Conservatives say the plans have been "copied and pasted from the last government's announcements".” www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Three years on, we should all still stand with Ukraine. "Russia doesn’t have the resources to fight indefinitely against that kind of organization and determination ... Putin can’t win on the ground, but he can win in his enemies’ heads—if we let him."

In 2019 Nigel Farage's Brexit Party voted against plans to tackle Russian propaganda, calling claims of Russian interference "scare stories" One of his MEPs was Nathan Gill, who has just been accused in court of taking bribes in exchange for defending Russia in the European Parliament

Reform in bed with Russia.. 👇🏼who’d have thought it from such #PlasticPatriots 🤔

Well what do you know. Reform UK's former leader in Wales has just been accused in court of accepting bribes in exchange for making statements in the European Parliament that would benefit Russia. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

🚨🚨 All of this by Anne Applebaum. Some excerpts here in 🧵

⚡️Spain to provide Ukraine with military aid package worth over $1 billion in 2025. "We are ready to continue to provide military assistance and equipment with even more determination than we have in the past," Spanish PM Pedro Sanchez said.

www.bbc.com/news/article... Well, would you believe it? The former leader of Reform UK in Wales has appeared in court accused of accepting bribes in exchange for making statements in the European Parliament that would benefit Russia, a court has heard.

There will be more of these letters from America in @bylinesnetwork.co.uk publications. In a time when billionaires and oligarchs own most of the media and democracy feels fragile, we will give US citizens space to tell it as they see it, feel it, fear it. We champion those who speak truth to power.

Three years on from Putin's barbaric and illegal full-scale invasion of Ukraine facts and truth matter more than ever youtu.be/HpmDquOkSCY?...

European movement chair, Mike Galsworthy said: “This is welcome news. We need to start pulling this country out of the no-growth quagmire of Brexit and start giving people hope for a better, brighter future.”

www.theguardian.com/world/live/2... The vast majority of the people ( if not ALL) in the U.K. want to support Ukraine 🇺🇦

This is very good news - if even Trump’s most slavish propaganda outlets call him out over Ukraine.

The US President's attempts to extort Ukraine for its natural resources, while abandoning its fate to Russia, is a return to the worst imperial politics of the past bylinetimes.com/2025/02/21/t...

Lie after lie has been told this week about how the Ukraine war started, from the Kremlin and the White House. Here's our News Agents video essay which explains the truth, and spells out why Trump clings so close to Putin and lives in his warped reality. www.youtube.com/watch?v=cufM...

“Trump is wrong; the world must say so. He’s taking US down a disastrous path…favouring Putin’s gangster state over democracies of free Europe.He’s standing alongside murder & tyranny against democracy & liberty. His is a historic inversion of America’s destiny” www.independent.co.uk/voices/edito...

So #Starmer is doing a deal with the EU to align with food standards, climate targets and accepting ECJ rulings. He is talking with the EU about a scheme for 18 - 30 year olds to be able to go live and work in EU countries. WELL DONE KEIR!!! Anyone else really happy about this direction?

Sinn Féin say they will not attend US St Patrick's Day celebrations

This was just shared with me on Twitter. I 💯 support this. #TreasonousTrump

All I can say at this stage is… FINALLY! 💥

Nathan Gill, former leader of Reform UK in Wales, charged with bribery following an investigation by counter terrorism police. news.sky.com/story/nathan...

Holy shit! You’ve got to see this town hall. Republicans are starting to get torn apart by their own constituents. Rep. Rich McCormick: “You don’t think I’m going to stand up for you?” Woman in the crowd: “You need to stand up.” Another woman: “Don’t bend over.” 🔥
