Dark irony reaches a new, low as Trump parrots Putin in calling Zelensky “a dictator.” In today’s News Agents we answer: why does Trump want to regurgitate Kremlin talking points? Why is a Russia/US axis emerging? What is really going on here? Listen now. podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/t...

So called ‘British patriots’ really are a confused bunch… Imagine siding with a Russian tyrant who invades sovereign countries and poisons British people on British soil Whatever next?

Musk, Vance & Trump all misrepresent democracy. When they say “democracy”, they mean a free-for-all with no rule of law, where the winner takes all. When Europe says “democracy”, we mean proportional representation, collaborative politics, citizen rights, and agreed guide rails guaranteed by law.

A bit of good news: NHS England hospital waiting list falls for 4th month in row. The lowest figures since April 2023. Considering the “quademic” and winter months, this is an achievement for both the NHS and Labour government. So it’ll obviously be all over the news, right?

"One of the great tragedies of mankind is that morality has been hijacked by religion. So now people assume that religion and morality have a necessary connection. But the basis of morality is really very simple and doesn't require religion at all." Arthur C. Clarke

This isn't a surprising but it is devastating. The great betrayal of Ukraine begins. We, in Europe, are in a place of danger. We all owe Ukraine & its people a debt of gratitude for its extraordinary courage. 😢

There should be a special award for parents who put up with the early stages of musical instrument practice by their kids.

What about a prize for children having to put up with their Dad in the early stages of learning the Uilleann pipes? I speak from experience. Goose strangling as my brother put it at the time.

OTD in 1940, while still allied with Nazis, the USSR began 1st of 4 waves of mass deportations from Poland to forced labor camps. In this wave, 140,000 Poles were sent to Siberia. Imagine forced deportations happening today..

And yes, a 10-year-old really did write this piece. It went through an editor, of course, but this really is the power of citizen journalism- giving a voice to all. We do have a lot of students write… but of course 10 is exceptional.

Danish activists have a petition to buy California from the US for $1 trillion. 200,000 signatures so far. That big theme park there would be renamed Hans Christian Andersenland.

Exactly this. Just 2% of Musk's wealth could feed the very poorest and most desperate people in the world. He could use his money to do extraordinary things - and could go down in history as a hero. Instead he has deliberately chosen to be an evil, villainous dick
