PINNED TWEET: It’s a cat. That panther you saw, that wolf, that yeti, that ghost, that strange light in the sky. Cat. It’s always a cat.

Almost 20 European leaders, incl Emmanuel Marcon & Friedrich Merz, plus VDL, have posted in support of @ZelenskyyUa after White House showdown. Notably, Keir Starmer has not. No 10 is referring reporters to PM’s comments this week on a just & lasting peace, with Ukraine at heart of talks.

Trump cannot be given a state visit to the UK. It should never have been offered. The invitation must now be withdrawn. You might as well hand it to Putin.

This is thuggery from Trump and Vance, plain and simple. They are bullying the brave true patriot Zelensky into accepting a deal which effectively hands victory to Russia. Unless the UK and Europe step up, we are facing a betrayal of Ukraine.

For two men who have professed such hostility towards taking the knee, they are surprisingly happy to do it for Putin, in the Oval Office, in full view of the world’s media.

Beyond belief. Is this really the man we’re going to fawn over with a State Visit? It’s time for our PM to pick a side

the treatment of zelenskyy today just makes starmers grovelling approach of yesterday seem even more misguided

BREAKING: There has just been a huge argument between Zelenskyy, Trump & Vance in the Oval Office. Trump calls Zelenskyy disrespectful and says he “is no position to dictate” to the US. Trump raises his voice to Zelenskyy. He can’t stand someone standing up to him. This is unbelievable.

its not a new or original thought but trump and vance are both a fucking disgrace

BREAKING: US voted against Ukraine's UN resolution which branded Russia the "aggressor" & demanded withdrawal of its troops. US on list of 18 nations also incl Russia, Iran and North Korea to vote against. UK & most European nations among 93 states to back Ukrainian resolution. China abstained.

"It’s mixed. It needs mastering. It sounds really good. It’s floating somewhere between Sing to God and Guns, with lots of call backs to Little Man and a House. It's a real out of the ashes. I’m really, really proud of it.” Jim Smith of #Cardiacs on their forthcoming album, LSD buff.ly/4kc0dNL

liz truss should stay in america, she fits in so well at the moment

each and every grovelling fuckwit at the white house press briefing deserves an unpleasant fate. it'd be funny if it wasn't so fucking shit. fuck the lot of them. the uk really really really needs to distance itself from the us in a big way

This is real. Unbelievable but real.
