There's a rumour that Nigel Farage is keeping his head down because he's off to a Trump cheerleading conference over the weekend. I’m afraid I’m being proved right- Farage is far more interested in Trump's success than British security. He is a bootlicker and a plastic patriot.

Donald Trump is a Russian asset; it no longer matters if it’s witting or unwitting. He routinely spreads disinformation that originates in the Kremlin and the FSB, and does it to hurt America and our friends. If you support Trump, you have—morally speaking—betrayed your country.

As a member of the Scottish Parliament, I’m a signatory to the ‘Safe access’ law which created buffer zones outside Scotland’s abortion clinics, because no woman should have to cross a picket line to access reproductive healthcare. No letters were sent to homes about silent prayer.

Tomorrow, the annual Munich Security Conference will start. Munich will briefly become the global capital of diplomacy, but I think it’s worthwhile to remember - especially right now - that Munich was also the site of one of the biggest diplomatic failures of 20th century.

Ukraine and Europe must actively participate in peace negotiations, not merely be informed about the agreements. Peace can only be achieved through joint efforts—together with Ukraine and the Europeans. Does President Trump want to help achieve peace for Ukraine?
