Pay for a disabled parking bay outside your house, but don't expect Bolton Council to enforce it. "We expect motorists to be courteous" | Chris Gee @northwestbylines.co.uk

Fujitsu told to pay up by Post Office campaigners over ‘ghastly fraud’. Fujitsu supplied flawed IT system, gave false evidence to the courts to convict innocent postmasters, landed public purse with £1.8bn compensation. It has faced no prosecution/fine. Still gets public contracts.

"While last week’s gatherings of the Alliance for Responsible Citizenship (ARC) and Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) were both conservative in nature, dual-attendee Nigel Farage looked more comfortable among the Americans."

One of the UK’s largest pension funds has pulled £28bn, in a high-profile example of an asset owner pushing back against the retreat from ESG by big US asset managers. "we have chosen to prioritise sustainability, active stewardship and long-term value creation" Good for them! 👏 on.ft.com/43oe8u6

All of the major U.K. party leaders have now issued statements about the Trump-Zelenskyy fallout except for Nigel Farage. He has been tweeting tonight but not about this.

The Mini-Musk

When something happens that is not expected, do not dismiss the hypothesis that what has happened is what the more powerful player wanted from the start.

In an extraordinary display of public support, heads of state, heads of government, and foreign ministers from all over Europe and Canada are posting in support of Ukraine in response to the Oval Office meeting with Trump, Zelenskyy, and Vance.

Unsurprisingly, this petition is racing at pace. 👇👇

For two men who have professed such hostility towards taking the knee, they are surprisingly happy to do it for Putin, in the Oval Office, in full view of the world’s media.

President Macron: We all know the situation. The aggressor is Russia. Ukraine are a nation under attack. I think we were all right to help Ukraine and sanction Russia three years ago, and to continue to do so.

Thought I couldn't be shocked by this channel, but it just keeps coming 🤯

From 🇫🇷 President Emmanuel Macron.

And still no plan to scrap the two child benefit limit

Jessica: I thought the most shocking part was that Trump says, Putin went through a hell of a lot with me.. Are you comfortable with an American president saying Putin went through a hell of a lot with me? Are they buddies?

"yes, working in CAMHS can be tough. But I genuinely love it. The field is complex, varied, and important. If you can help a child to recover at this stage, you can alter the trajectory of the rest of their life for the better." ❤️

Krasnov has paid off.

🔴NEW: UK police forces dodge questions on Palantir After Leicestershire Police quietly removed details of a contract with Palantir, three quarters of UK police forces refuse to say if they have contracts with them. Me, for @goodlawproject.bsky.social goodlawproject.org/uk-police-fo...

"What an utter embarrassment for America. This whole sad scene” www.huffpost.com/entry/donald...

just keeps getting worse

Jeez. This is shameful from Trump

That wasn’t about a mineral deal (aka extortion and blackmail) or “peace” it was about alienating Zelenskyy so Trump’s mate Putin can install a puppet and make Ukraine a second Belarus. This isn’t just Russian aggression, it’s US aggression and all of Europe (UK included) needs to cut them out.

Another great achivement by this Labour government. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

What the holy fuck does this massive moron expect?

I'm coming at this late. Just seen this. It might be the single worst moment in intentional politics that I have ever witnessed.

The British press has given Nigel Farage’s party a free ride for too long bylinetimes.com/2025/02/28/r...

No Elon Musk you have destroyed any illusion of independence you had. All 3 of you are just puppets for Netanyahu and Putin.

www.theguardian Fears have grown that Russia is seeking to fuel social unrest in Britain and other western European states via covert digital campaigns aimed at exploiting ethnic and religious tensions.

🚨The European Union foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas : “The free world needs a new leader” The United States is weaker and more isolated than ever.

If Trump wasn’t on Putin’s side before, he definitely is now.

How reassuring it would be right now for the UK to be a member of some kind of supranational political and economic union…

Luc Frieden Prime Minister of Luxembourg 👏

This is brilliant...what a fabulous good news story.🙂 www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Trump tried to ‘bully’ Zelenskyy, says Alastair Campbell www.channel4.com/news/trump-t...

Russia seems pretty pleased with what it witnessed in the Oval Office today.

ZELENSKYY: Putin broke the ceasefire. What kind of diplomacy, JD, are you speaking about? VANCE: I think it's disrespectful to come into the Oval Office and try to litigate this in front of the American media

Trump and Vance’s shameful behavior has embarrassed their country. President Zelenskyy is a hero. He should have been treated as such

European leaders are stepping forward to tonight to show their support for President Zelensky 👏
