🇪🇺🇬🇧 Through my first set of meetings in Brussels. The praise for Starmer is overwhelming: “What he has managed to do is not just good for him. It's good for all of us. Absolutely top notch. This is the UK at its best. The UK we have always admired.

Marsh family @marshfamilysongs.bsky.social you guys are amazing! youtu.be/pvT3aQjLxdE?...

Please keep sharing 🙏

👏 What a powerfull speech 💪 by Mette Frederiksen 💙🇪🇺, Danish Prime Minister ! 🇩🇰#StandWithUkraine #SlavaUkraini

Everyone Like And Repost 💯

Reality check. Thank you, Financial Times.

One thing I can’t get out of my head is that zelensky speaks English as a foreign language and then you have these two arrogant men just shouting over him. Really primal, schoolyard bully stuff.

UK Prime Minister Starmer hugs Zelensky as he welcomes him to 10 Downing Street. This is how you welcome the leader of the free world.

Your dignity honors the bravery of the Ukrainian people. Be strong, be brave, be fearless. You are never alone, dear President Zelenskyy. We will continue working with you for a just and lasting peace.

I stand with Ukraine. I stand with Zelenskyy. Defeat Putin. Fuck Trump. #SlavaUkraini 🇺🇦🕊

Slava Ukraini.

We stand with Ukraine. 🇺🇦

Unsurprisingly, this petition is racing at pace. 👇👇

Sums up how I felt. I had a physical reaction when I first heard it

I try hard not to let Trump in my brain but that clip with Zelensky in the Oval Office is genuinely disgusting to witness. If it was the 1940s, Trump and Vance would be mocking Europe and saying Hitler was a strong guy with some good points. Two bullies not worth the dirt off Zelensky’s boots.

Let's get one thing straight right now. President Zelensky is a hero. Donald Trump isn't fit to shine his shoes.

Pope Francis, currently in hospital in critical, shared a prewritten statement for a mass service calling out Russia’s invasion of Ukraine as “a painful and shameful occasion for the whole of humanity.” Boom!

Starmer must stand up to Trump on behalf of Britain. We will gain nothing from sitting in silence. https://buff.ly/3QQRLX7

For three years, the brave Ukrainian people have heroically defended their country against Putin’s war machine. Now, more than ever, we must stand firmly in support of our Ukrainian friends, resist Trump's stitch up with Putin and work with our European neighbours to defend freedom and democracy.

Wow. "The former leader of Reform UK in Wales has appeared in court accused of accepting bribes in exchange for making statements in the European Parliament that would benefit Russia, a court has heard."

On the 3rd anniversary of Russia’s brutal invasion, Europe is in Kyiv. We are in Kyiv today, because Ukraine is Europe. In this fight for survival, it is not only the destiny of Ukraine that is at stake. It’s Europe’s destiny.

“A former senior Soviet KGB spy chief has claimed that Donald Trump was recruited as a spy by Russian intelligence as early as 38 years ago by his department, and given the codename ‘Krasnov’.”

OK, the report is now fully in major media. Media must get an extensive White House response; Congress must investigate (even if it's a minority report); DOJ and the FBI must investigate; the CIA must issue a report on what it knew about this and when.

(📢) MAJOR BREAKING NEWS: The Daily Beast publishes a sourced allegation that Trump has been a Russian spy since 1987 and then—possibly under some form of threat—deletes it. But in an act of unusual heroism, it left it up long enough for Wayback Machine to capture it text. Here it is (please share):

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...

There is still time to go to the SOLIDARITY WITH UKRAINE protest in London on Saturday starting at 12 noon. Please repost to get maximum coverage.

I’ll be speaking at this rally tomorrow. ✊🇺🇦 If you’re anywhere near London - come along! Let’s make some real noise!!

#Krasnov

Those who claim to be fighting to “save civilisation”, as the Nazis claimed, will destroy it. This was the Holocaust. And no one who understands what civilisation is talks of “saving” it (nor wields chainsaws, throws Nazi salutes, praises mass murderers, denies science, steals, lies and rapes).

Absolutely @eddavey.libdems.org.uk

I asked the PM to consider a European Youth Mobility Scheme at his first statement in July. I’m very pleased he’s finally listened to the Lib Dems and moved on a proposal that will bring huge benefits to thousands of young Brits, like Rose, as well as UK employers. www.thetimes.com/article/f5e7...

A show of good faith to that ‘reset’ Starmer to offer EU youth mobility scheme in post-Brexit reset @mikegalsworthy.bsky.social Chair @europeanmovement.co.uk ‘We need to start pulling this country out of the no-growth quagmire of Brexit & start giving people hope for a better, brighter future’

Unapologetically. ✊🇪🇺

Kemi Badenoch actually said "some cultures are better than others" in her speech to the rightwing ARC conference this morning. So much for not saying the quiet part out loud. They're not even pretending any more. www.politics.co.uk/news/2025/02...

Musk weaponised his access to USAID data, with false accusations and clear vendettas. DOGE access to confidential tax details would be the complete weaponisation of the state against individuals. You can read this NYT article for free without a subscription. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/17/b...
