Trump berating Zelensky for his hatred of Putin… …from the man who globally shared his hatred of Taylor Swift because she endorsed his opponent.

A timely moment to remember that Donald Trump dodged the draft & JD Vance wondered a few short years ago whether he would turn out to be 'America's Hitler'...

Rejoining the EU just became A LOT more urgent. In a world where you literally can't count on the USA for anything at all any more, grab your friends when you can! And if Labour can play the "circumstances have changed" card to bin foreign aid, they certainly can to stampede back towards the EU!

I think this is the closest many of us have ever got to seeing the real Trump. The only consistent thread in his entire unhinged rant was the love & praise for Vladimir Putin. Zelensky has more courage & dignity in his little finger than every member of Trump's regime & fan club combined.

We're shocked by Trump and Musk's antics because we judge them against the idea that governments should serve the people. But they have no such intention. Government for them is simply about seizing power and wealth. Let's stop being shocked, and build a global, democratic counter-movement.

At PMQs I challenged the Prime Minister to drop his opposition to a new UK-EU customs union. With Donald Trump threatening trade wars, we should rebuild ties with our European neighbours and tear down the trade barriers and red tape hurting British businesses.

The UK needs to lead in Europe again. We can't rely on Trump, and Labour hasn't shown the urgency or ambition to fix our relationship with our closest neighbours. A UK-EU customs union is the first step repairing that relationship. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/brexit-cost-starme…

Keir Starmer and Rachel Reeves claim to be looking everywhere for opportunities for growth but are ignoring the solution right under their noses. A new UK-EU Customs Union would turbocharge our economy, tearing down the trade barriers holding British businesses back.

RIP Hind Rajab. Today is one year on since this little six year old was killed (my daughter's age) - and then so were the two brave medics who came to rescue her, as agreed by the IDF, as she cowered in her family car with her family dead around her. I will never forget this story.
