🇺🇸 CNN poll shows just 8% of Americans view Russia positively—on par with those who think the moon landing was fake. 61% see Russia as an enemy, and only 4% as a partner. Only 9% like Putin, with the same percentage believing the Earth is flat. 52% support Ukraine using U.S. weapons in Russia.

Brexit started me wondering where the world would end up now that people knowingly vote for policies and politicians that are clearly against their own best interests, as long as they promise to hurt the people they don't like. I suppose Trump shows us exactly where that leads.

If you call Zelensky a dictator, you're insulting the entire Ukrainian people. Ukrainians are literally famous for toppling dictators. This war is happening precisely because they ousted one 11 years ago, and they've been bleeding terribly for it ever since.

UK energy industry made £483bn profit since 2020. OFGEM's marginal pricing rules guarantee profits to the most inefficient/costly producer. 1 in 5 of all deaths are people in fuel poverty – including 110,000 pensioners. No curbs on profiteering. Real wages cut. WFP cut. Cost of living soaring.

Hurrah - Bluesky gets a mention! Turns out Ch 4’s “poll” about 52% of Gen Z asked would support a “strong leader” is, er, opaque to say the least & flies in the face of 8 other surveys in recent years Who knew? Private Eye

Just in case no one knows the UK doesn't have a record number of people on benefits, in fact we have higher employment than France, Spain, Italy, Portugal, Finland and many more. It's all just a lie for the billionaires to blame poor people for their mess.

Trump sank to new depths with his tirade of disinformation about President Zelenskyy. (Fact checker here: www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...) @eddavey.libdems.org.uk is right, all of the UK must stand firmly with Ukraine against Trump's dangerous propaganda, taken direct from Putin's playbook.

If Ukraine is forced to surrender its sovereign territory to Russia, it will be the greatest betrayal of a European ally since Poland in 1945. The UK must lead in Europe in defence of Ukraine. We cannot stand back and watch as Zelensky is bullied by Trump.

Trump has been a Russian asset for 40 years, and the fact that US voters are unaware makes the media complicit.

Last night MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell said Trump was the first U.S. president to “switch sides during a war.” That aptly describes Trump’s betrayal but it can’t begin to convey the depravity of what Trump did in throwing our ally overboard and lying about every facet of Putin’s criminal aggression.
