The Prime Minister should show British leadership on Ukraine by inviting President Zelenskyy to address Parliament on Monday. I'm proud that the UK has been Ukraine's staunchest ally from the start. We mustn't falter in the face of Trump's bullying now.

And to think we could have had a sane, serious government run by an intelligent person who would have acted in the best interests of Americans, and not Vladimir Putin.

This is what should be on every front page right now. What's happening in the US right now is an illegal power grab by a private citizen. IT'S A COUP. It's a digital coup. It's Musk who's leading it. The consequences are terrifying. And it's coming for us next. 1/ open.substack.com/pub/broligar...

Elon Musk, that avatar or arrogance, is trashing the US Constitution. Trumpers, is this what you voted for? An end to America?

1/ Starmer really depresses me. Democracy is under greater threat than at any time since the early stages of WW2, and he is just carrying on with politics as usual. Politics as usual is dead. We are now faced with a converted kleptofascist attempt to destroy democracy, freedom and human rights.

Even GBNews is saying 60% want to Rejoin. Labour’s refusal to acknowledge the depth of the change is a betrayal of the people isn’t it @stellacreasy.bsky.social @labourlewis.bsky.social @sarahhall-labour.bsky.social Feel free to re-post and include your Labour MP.

It’s not wrong to call a President a felonious malignant narcissist. What’s wrong is calling a felonious malignant narcissist a President.

Having done a Bob and Terry yesterday and pretty much avoided the news it's back to normal, sadly. The sight and sound of Trump and his apologists still makes my skin crawl.

A café in Galashiels, Scotland, where you pay as much as you can. Or, if you can, as much as you want. There are grocery stores & restaurants that do this as well. And they all prove there are still many out there who believe in & live community spirit. #GoodMorning, everyone.

Good on Heather Knight for using her voice in this way. We absolutely need to keep in mind that there is a group of women cricketers at the heart of this, whose hopes and dreams have been wrecked by the evil of the Taliban. www.theguardian.com/sport/2025/j...
