Headteacher Katharine Birbalsingh tweeting "ethnics can not be English". Few white headteacher would make sweeping racially exclusive comments. Her belief every single ethnic minority person identifies as "British not English" is a sincere misperception, but educators could look at the evidence!

You stupid, opportunistic, traitorous bastards. You’ve all done such unforgivable harm to our country, risking our safety, prosperity and wellbeing in your nasty, populist cravings for power. You stink of him. Shame on you all forever.

Projection is often so revealing - since all of Trumps acolytes are amoral, corrupt grifters who would sell their granny out for a dollar, they struggle to believe anyone else wouldn't.

I misheard an earlier news report on the radio referring to Trump and the "Evil Office". Seems somewhat more appropriate.

He was being told his own soldiers were fleeing the battlefield and he was forcing them to fight. How would it have looked back home if he had let that go unchallenged?

This has to be the approach, not for party electoral purposes, but because Farage is a threat to our democracy and freedoms.

Impartial journalist does job, gets criticised by a Trumpist, gets put on leave. Looks like Voice of America, the nearest thing the US has to the BBC World Service, is being turned into a propaganda agency

There has been a lot of chatter today about Zelenskyy's meeting with Trump, some regarding this moment when White House correspondent Brian Glenn asked if the Ukrainian president plans to wear a suit. I want to address idea in this thread. 🧵

I would go further and say this is just Mason being bad at his job. I don't know how you can write this paragraph seriously after we've had threatened invasions of the Panama Canal, Canada, Mexico, Gaza and the reinvasion of Afghanistan. Trump is not a secret pacifist, he just hates Ukraine.

Your dignity honors the bravery of the Ukrainian people. Be strong, be brave, be fearless. You are never alone, dear President Zelenskyy. We will continue working with you for a just and lasting peace.

Thank you Eric Swallwell for the most straightforward response. "Absolute admiration for President Zelenskyy. The guy has balls. He went into the Oval Office and stood up to Russia’s best negotiators," wrote Congressman Eric Swalwell.

It's worth keeping tabs on the super pro-Ukraine Republican senators like Jim Risch and Bob Wicker. Risch has been silent and Wicker deleted a tweet about meeting Zelensky. I think we're seeing how much their support is worth.

Not for Putin - it was his key foreign policy objective at the time. Johnson, Gove and Farage all knew who they were serving with this act of self sabotage.

Starmer may be the one of the only world leaders left that both Zelensky and Trump would accept an unplanned call from after the events of today. Highly recommend that people who have been tracking leader tweets for the last several hours go outside for some air.
