President Zelenskyy has been one of the greatest leaders of our time, guiding Ukraine through the darkest period of its recent history, rising up to Russia’s unwarranted aggression, being an inspiration to the Ukrainian people and ensuring that Ukraine’s voice is heard on the world stage.

Brilliant! At least we in the UK have a leader who will stick up for Ukraine and fight for what is right!

A great article on why Europe must unite & step up to support Ukraine & resist the threat to destabilise the world posed by Trump, who can no longer be considered an ally of Europe or the West.

Donald Trump has reportedly spent an estimated $10.7 million worth of taxpayer money to play golf since his inauguration. This is happening as Head Start programs have struggled to access previously approved federal funding due to the Trump admin's illegal impoundment. Hello?

I like his take on this. I was feeling very depressed about the whole Trump/Putin/Zelensky situation but now I feel better about it. I think he’s right - Trump has now shown his hand & totally blown it! Zelensky has delivered a master stroke!

Who else thinks that Donald Trump is totally out of control? I’m sorry but I’m seething about his horrible, untrue comments about Zelensky & really think he has crossed a red line! I worry about where this will all end. #Trump #Ukraine

Zelenskyy press conference: “The war cost Ukraine $320 billion, of which $120 billion was paid by Ukrainians, and another 200 billion by the US and Europe.” Figures Trump is bandying about are false. Europe contributed more than the US.

Van Hollen: "Can you imagine FDR in the middle of WW2 saying to Churchill, 'you know, we're not going to continue to help you until you turn over half of your coal and mineral reserves.' That's not how you behave when you want to support a friend who's under attack by an authoritarian like Putin."

Europe really needs to think about what it will do if Trump lines up with Putin - tries to give him east Ukraine & then get a mining deal with Putin in east Ukraine. We should be thinking about trade sanctions, X ban, UK pull out of 5 Eyes - encouraging Canada to do same, etc.

He’s absolutely right & we can’t let Trump get away with this. Europe has to show him that we won’t be cowed by a bully!

It’s shocking but totally believable that Trump would wish to take advantage of Ukraine’s situation & make the country totally indebted to America. He’s not a friend to Ukraine, just a twisted, opportunistic chancer.

All my life I have studied democratization and autocratization. My 1st field trip was to newly democratic Argentina. I then added autocracies to my portfolio: Cuba, Ven, etc. I think I can recognize the stages of transition to authoritarianism. Here are the boxes Trump has already checked off.

I think this is true. Our Labour government is doing some good stuff, but it doesn’t get reported. We only hear about the bad stuff.

We cannot ignore how shockingly abnormal it is for a private citizen — who himself has contracts with the federal government — to dispatch a private army of executives, data experts and recent high schoolers to dictate policies to federal agencies. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/elon...

Trump has just cut off Biden’s security clearance and intelligence briefings. So there is now no scrutiny.

This is not a drill. We’re witnessing a meltdown of America. While America goes rogue, fires its most dedicated officials, replaces them with juvenile delinquents, and pisses off every ally, its enemies will take advantage. The crisis is real. This is not hyperbole. This is not a drill.

It’s true, but since the Republicans control the Senate & House, the Democrats are pretty powerless & the Republicans just bow to Trump. It’s a nightmare scenario & we can just hope they get wiped out in the mid-terms if Trump continues with his colossal f**k-ups! # Trump

i will say that we have never experienced anything like an administration trying to essentially freeze the activities of the entire federal government while making a series of illegal power grabs. genuinely unclear to me what kind of response, if any, these guys are generating against them

Punchy stuff from @octopus.energy on the UK's £22bn investment in CCUS - saying it would be better spent on renewables. “Some of the stuff we’re doing is the equivalent of trying to defend the abacus industry once calculators had been invented." www.telegraph.co.uk/business/202...

It feels so refreshing and cathartic being on BlueSky compared to the toxic, far-right Musk machine that Twitter/X has become. Maybe I’m just not used to normal posts & discussions without feeling traumatised anymore. It’s great!
