Please. No more speeches in the Senate about “freedom” until one Republican has the guts to stand up to Trump’s lies about Ukraine & Putin. Ukraine did not start this horrific war. Russia did. Zelensky isn't a dictator. Putin is. The US must not enter into an alliance with Putin.

President Zelenskyy has been one of the greatest leaders of our time, guiding Ukraine through the darkest period of its recent history, rising up to Russia’s unwarranted aggression, being an inspiration to the Ukrainian people and ensuring that Ukraine’s voice is heard on the world stage.

If Trump wants to see elections in Ukraine, all he has to do is use the power he keeps talking about to get the Russian invaders off Ukrainian soil. Then martial law in Ukraine ends, and elections will follow.

🔥 @carladenyer.bsky.social: "Until Labour are brave enough to deal with forces draining money out of us, people will look for someone to blame. "The ultra-rich siphon off more & more, landlords hike the rent, & Farage will continue to sell the lie that migrants are the cause" t.co/oU9z5QdWYN

If the UK was really, really smart, it would now plough tens of billions into research centres and take in all the American academics fleeing the US. Spoiler: the UK is not smart. 🇬🇧

🔥 This. “Labour cannot simply manage the status quo. To defeat Mr Farage’s sham politics, it must offer more than technocratic governance. Without a compelling vision, including one for Britain’s place in Europe, it risks being outflanked” Perfectly put in @theguardian.com

NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO! Reform do NOT get to dictate where other political parties go...and certainly not when it takes them into nasty places. FGS. Grow a pair, Labour. And get a flipping BlueSky account. Now. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Keir Starmer take note; stand with our EU allies - do not cosy up to the new unreliable & malign U.S. administration. Urgent and changed conditions mean your so called “redlines” need to be scrapped ASAP. Leadership needed now!

Britain has become a world-leader in cracking down on climate activism & right to peaceful protest is under attack as never before. Solidarity with brave #16 who are appealing their draconian sentences today. Big Oil should be in the dock, not peaceful protesters. Me for @guardian👇#DefendourJuries

None of these rightwing blowhards believes in British sovereignty. They just want the UK to become the 51st state of America. It’s what Farage and Jenrick believe in their hearts too. From ‘take back control’ to ‘sell Britain to Trump.’ Put that slogan on a bus.

Literally all they had to do was calmly condemn Musk’s dishonest & inciteful attack on their parliamentary colleague, Jess Phillips. And they couldn’t even manage that. Absolutely shameful.

In the days of the paper reviews on BBC News, I took to googling any contributor I didn't know and/or where their employer/affiliation wasn't stated. 9 times out of ten they were from a right of centre think tank.

It took the last government about five minutes to legislate to stop foreigners buying a national newspaper. How long will it take for this government to close a loophole that allows a foreigner to influence the next UK election by sloshing millions the way of one party?

This is a terrible example of "party brain" at work. The question isn't "how do you beat Reform?" - which would be a wholly illegitimate way to make this decision. It's "how do we stop foreign (& indeed domestic) money from subverting our democracy?" That's much bigger than the fate of one party

This mess is entirely of Labour’s own making In opposition they promised to end sleaze and tighten money in politics. They could have laid out plans for this as soon as they got into office Instead they prevaricated. And this is the outcome. So depressing www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

If you ever fancy a glimpse of what privatised healthcare looks like, try taking a pet to the vets without insurance. General examination, antibiotic eye drops, anti-inflammatories, and two sets of blood tests: £511.

Views differ about why BlueSky migration matters. For me it’s this ‘There is such a thing as truth There are facts and we can know them.’ If we can keep a large, shared space truthful it’ll count for a lot in the face of what’s coming. @carolecadwalla.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
