Fascists rewrite history. Trump says Ukraine 'should have never started it' in comments about war with Russia. Claims it could have “made a deal” to avert war i e. handed over territory. Ukraine's biggest mistake was to give up nuclear weapons in 1994. US, UK, Russia guaranteed its security.

“Oh it’s too simplistic to say he’s a Russian asset”

Trump has now asked Elon Musk to examine US defence spending. Elon Musk’s companies have multi billion dollar contracts with the Department of Defense and are seeking more. The BBC’s Today Programme just reported the first part, without mentioning the second. Unacceptable

Two things I’d suggest Starmer do. 1. Reverse Brexit. 2. Take a moral view about Gaza, arms sales and RAF surveillance missions. The first will transform the economy and the second will make us feel better about ourselves. And at these levels, what has he to lose?
