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...

America: how it’s changed. The 46th President of the United States called Vladimir Putin “a murderous dictator.” The 47th President called Volodymyr Zelensky “a dictator without elections.”

Dear PM, I understand your early reticence to not reopen the post-Brexit debate. Not withstanding the mess that is Brexit, we now have a new world order. USA is unstable vWe need to strengthen our relationship with EU countries. can I make a plea for your Govt to open negotiations with the EU?

We must now regard the #USA as a rogue state, and #Trump himself as a security threat, not only to his own country but to #NATO and Europe.

Hang on. The Felon has just blamed Ukraine for starting the war? Putin must be laughing tonight.

Really, BBC News? You’re leading bulletins on a story that on her LinkedIn profile, Rachel Reeves exaggerated- by 9 months - her time at the Bank of England. As an ex BBC man, I’m not one of those BBC bashers, but this story has got “so what” written all over it. Media. Let’s focus on the big stuff.

Catching up with new series of #Virdee on BBC. Set in my home city of Bradford. Gloriously shot, with great performances. Some have moaned about it portraying conflict & crime, but this makes for good drama and it reflects some of the issues this city - in common with other big cities - faces.

Peak Freddie. When Ed Gamble asked him what his friends and family thought about being on #TheTraitors #TheTraitorsUK he said: “I told them I went on an MI5 internship. #TraitorsUncloaked

I hold no brief for #PrinceHarry, but his is a famous victory against #Murdoch and his empire. I hope #TheSun follows the News of the World into the dust.

The obscenity of #Trump talking about “freeing the (January 6) hostages” while the families of the Israeli hostages stand behind him. Ghastly.

So you’ve seen #Musk deliver not one, but two Nazi salutes at the #inauguration, and you’re still prepared to use his platform Silence is compliance.

I would urge you to watch @fergalkeane.bsky.social ’s report for BBC News from the Israel-Palestine border. Haunted faces in destroyed places.

If you’re criticising the media for covering the #inauguration of #Trump, you don’t quite understand how stuff works. By all means, don’t watch/listen/read about it, but aim your anger at the incoming President.

Respect to #MichelleObama. In a show of sisterly solidarity it would be great if Laura Bush, Hillary Clinton and all the ‘Second Ladies’ did a no-show for the convicted felon’s #inauguration. #FOTUS

Tears of a clown. In these difficult times we can ill-afford to lose people who make us chuckle. I hope #TonySlattery knew how much he made me, and others, laugh.

Most of this bunch of faithfuls are totally clueless. If Linda had a tattoo saying ‘traitor’ on her forehead they’d still pick an obvious faithful! (Just a game, folks, be nice). #TheTraitors
