"He parades as a strongman, but in fact he’s weak, weak, weak. In the face of America’s adversaries Donald Trump is, as he might put it, a patsy, a sucker, a pushover. He folds like a pack of cards. He’s a human doormat. A loser." www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Zelensky is perhaps the defining figure of our age. Brave, ingenious, pragmatic and defined by his convictions. They hate him because he kills fascists.

Libs: 71 MPs. Davey's narrative is the UK as a leader, and a call for national and continental unity in the face of fascism. Reform: 5 MPs. Farage's narrative is the UK as an irrelevance, and pushes Russian misinformation in support of fascism. And our media platforms traitorous Lord Yeehaw-Haw.

Once more, Farage is claiming that he stood up in the European Parliament in early 2014 and predicted the Ukraine war. In fact, he stood up in September 2014, AFTER the annexation of Crimea, and blamed Europe for Putin's actions. I kept the receipts. Listen here 👇🏽 open.spotify.com/episode/77cz...

“It’s time to make a stand. Trump is wrong; the world must say so. He’s taking the US down a disastrous path…favouring Putin’s gangster state over the democracies of a free Europe. He’s standing alongside murder & tyranny against democracy & liberty. His is a historic inversion of America’s destiny”

Russia’s intentions are clear; if the opportunity arises they will attack our allies, unless Europe has a credible military force to act as a deterrent. The US’ commitments are now entirely down to the whims of a President spouting Kremlin propaganda, we have to immediately prepare for the worst.

Of course, the former. Prime Minister of the UK went a different way and blamed Europe for Russia's invasion of Ukraine. The Tories failed utterly when they made Johnson leader.

So Nigel Farage has chosen to explain away Trump’s outrageous remarks about President Zelensky instead of doing the right thing and condemning them. Deeply disappointing but not at all surprising. He sounds like a spokesman for Trump. He certainly doesn’t speak for Britain.

Where did Trump get the 4% number from? That’s what Putin told him in their recent phone call. The American president takes lies about our allies directly from Putin and asserts they are true to the American people without telling them he got those lies from Putin.
