Atrocities against civilians have been part of Russia's war on Ukraine from the start. In attacks ranging from "human safari" drone attacks on individual civilians in Kherson to missile strikes on a Kyiv children's hospital, to shootings in Bucha, they have murdered more than 12,000 civilians.

I see it. I have lived it. 83 years ago, the U.S. government turned upon a group of its own citizens and residents and sent them to internment camps without due process. I was there among them. American fascism is back. It is here. It is now.

Let's be clear, any trade deal with Trump's USA would come with unacceptable risks to UK food standards, and Trump will seek to rewrite it as soon as his mood changes. Far better for the UK to build a stronger trade relationship with our real allies in the EU. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

As Hungary under Orban becomes ever more autocratic, and sides with the dictator Putin's Russia against democratic Ukraine, it's hardly a surprise to learn that Orban is the Trump regime's favourite European Political leader. Autocrats of the world are uniting. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Key to understanding the new autocrats is that they're not motivated by ideology, but by corruption and a desire to crush any accountability. That's why we see self-described socialists, imperialists, Islamists, communists and nationalists working together. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/a...

Actually, 37% is very low. NB how it compares to the same Q about a closer relationship with the EU. Not to mention that, given competing trade offs, when asked which deal gov't should prioritise, 46% said the EU should be the top priority for trade, with only 21% opting for the USA. ~AA

The US has completely derailed from reality. Despite Russia’s deadliest missile strike this year killing 35 civilians in Sumy — including children — the White House blocked a G7 statement condemning it. All to “keep talks with Moscow on track.” Disgraceful. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Trump has diverted media attention from Russia’s invasion of Ukraine to his fake "peace" process. In fact, American weakness enables Russian aggression as a new offensive looms. Useful corrective here. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

The UK should be very careful when negotiating a ‘trade agreement’ with the US given that normal trade obligations such as the WTO or other FTAs seem to have no relevance for the current US Administration. You make deals with lawless actors at your own peril. bbc.com/news/article...

"UK political culture seems to be fixated on maintenance of the ‘special relationship’ just as much as it is on treating relations with the nearby European Union with scepticism". That has implications for UK trade policy. My latest blog. ecipe.org/blog/trumps-...
