I didn’t write the headline, which implies (wrongly) I think Starmer is an idiot. I do think he should act w courage and conviction; not be pushed around by Trump, continue to stand up for Ukraine, and make sure UK brings something concrete to the table.

US officials are reportedly threatening to revoke Starlink access for Ukraine if they don’t give us 50% of their mineral rights. That’s not diplomacy, it’s extortion. We’re also pushing them to kill a UN Resolution that blames Russia for starting the war. Facts matter.

Judith Butler: "Once you decide that a single vulnerable minority can be sacrificed, you’re operating within a fascist logic, because that means there might be a second one you’re willing to sacrifice, and a third, a fourth, and then what happens?"

Starlink should be banned from European markets on national security grounds. Anything requiring Starlink should be shut out of the European market, and sanctions should be considered against all relevant actors. kyivindependent.com/us-threatens...

We need facts as never before. 3 years after Putin invaded Ukraine, I spent 24 hours with combat medics on the Ukrainian frontline. Their courage, compassion, dedication & skill are astounding. Please read & please never stop standing up for Ukraine. 🇺🇦 www.theguardian.com/world/2025/f...

This is a remarkable turn of events. Farage going is going to do him and reform a lot of harm. Which is great news, obvs!

Sorry for making you look at him but yet again, as with Peterson, Musk, Montgomerie and so many others, the turn to the hard/far right begins with obsessive transphobia. It might be the primary driver of rightwing radicalisation over the last decade. They always bring it up.

US has come a long way since days of genocide, slavery, racial segregation. Trump delivering: sackings of judges, military commanders, public servants; opposition to diversity/equality; censorship of books, scholarly journals, silencing of journalists. Won't have a happy ending. What will UK do?

"During the meeting, Ukraine was told it faced imminent shutoff of the Starlink service if it did not reach a deal on critical minerals, said the source, who requested anonymity to discuss closed negotiations." Astonishing betrayal of an ally. www.reuters.com/business/us-...

Let’s hope those planning on voting for far right AFD pause for thought and change thier minds. Trump’s antics could well be a turning point. In England, Farage is already behaving very cautiously and polling has stalled for reform.

Demanding $500 billion worth of minerals in return for just over $110 billion in “aid” is a hell of a rate of a return. Presumably the phrase should now be “beware Americans bearing gifts”.

Well there goes the worst kept secret in UK EU relations, as I've been saying since June 2024. Of course the UK was going to respond to the EU ask over youth mobility. Might have been easier to say from the start that of course we'll look at EU asks?
