Calling Zelensky a “Dictator” must be where the line is drawn. It is my sincere hope that the whole political spectrum in the United Kingdom will speak with one voice in opposition to Trump’s lies.

One of my experiences as a government official was that when the UK and France agreed on something, joint progress could be made pretty quickly. Reading between the lines, this is happening with regard to Ukraine and Trump. A small ray of hope in an otherwise bleak day.

Putin says Trump must go further before he’ll even agree to meet. Putin is entirely in the driving seat. The US has alienated its own allies, given Russia nearly all of what it wanted, bought Putin’s warped view of reality, and can’t even guarantee a meeting. The art of the deal, indeed.

It's annoying how clearly this is going to play out. They gut the FAA. Therefore, the FAA can't do its job well because it was gutted. Therefore, they say "The FAA sucks, we have to privatize it." which is what Project 2025 wants to do. They're manufacturing the crises for their end goal.

The flying public needs answers. How many FAA personnel were just fired? What positions? And why?

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general. If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

President Zelenskyy: “At the Munich Security Conference, I emphasized that European policy must not just be promising — it must make America want to stand with a strong Europe. Europe must decide its own future with confidence in its strength so that others have no choice but to respect its power.”

To the right-wing pundits crowing over Vance's speech: if you are really "less worried" about a dictator-state that's invaded its neighbour, killed tens of thousands of people, reduced cities to rubble & engaged in mass rape and child abduction, than you are about "wokery", then you are truly lost.

Incompetence in Washington puts every American at risk, no matter how you voted. No one should be happy that the DOGE team - the same folks who randomly published classified U.S. security information online today - wants access to your bank account & Social Security numbers.

I wonder if JD Vance is planning to lecture his boss’s buddy Vladimir Putin on democracy and free speech. 🤔

The German defence minister Boris Postorius just told JD Vance where to shove it! 👏👏👏 He basically said Vance's comments in a previous speech about a supposed lack of democracy in Europe were "inacceptable". The applause was loud and long, though it fades out here due to length limit. #MAGAmerica

Most of Britain won't be taking any lessons in British values from Trump/Vance It is a British value to oppose dictators in Europe, not to reward them. It is a British value to accept it if you lose. To turn up & congratulate the winner, not to sulk + incite violence to try to overturn democracy

SCOOP: The top US election security watchdog has frozen all of its efforts to aid states in securing elections. The move represents the first major example of the country’s cyber defense agency accommodating Trump’s false claims of election fraud and online censorship.

I made a decision long ago to not react to every thing that Trump says, because him saying anything doesn't mean something is going to happen. But for the avoidance of doubt, if you think a surrender deal can be imposed forcefully on Ukrainians, then you don't know Ukrainians.

When people ask what Putin has over Trump, remember the Spycraft acronym MICE which describe the four key weaknesses which allow someone open to be being recruited M - Money I - Ideology C - compromising material (Kompromat) E - Ego All four are probably factors in Trump’s subservience to Putin

Lying liars and the lies that they told. There is no question that the leave campaign lied through its teeth. Legally, that means nothing now, of course: Brexit is settled under European law. But is there a moral case to say the British electorate were innocent? Let's look at the lies A 🧵

Lewis is right. I have been dismayed by how little coverage Musk’s adventure has garnered in British press. Is there a better story than world’s richest man and his gang of 20 something interns take control of world’s largest country’s computer systems?

Kemi Badenoch saying "he had materials about white genocide" on BBC appears to be inaccurate. She may be conflating two things. 1) he had extensive materials about various genocides + colonial violence (Hutu/Tutsi, native American, UK/Mau Mau). No material on "white genocide" in public domain.
