(1/3) It needs repeating: in 1994, Ukraine was persuaded to give up its nuclear weapons to Russia in return for the US, the UK, and Russia guaranteeing Ukraine’s sovereignty, security, and territorial integrity.

Note to Americans - Jim Carrey explaining that the reason Canadians are “nice” is because their government provides healthcare. #cdnpoli #peipoli

I think all of the UK can thank Nigel! He did for the UK what a 34-time Convicted Felon is trying to do to the United States. We should have watched closer & learned from the use of propaganda to the misinformation from his supporters. We kept saying, "It can't happen here." We were all wrong.

It has nothing to do with immigration or fentanyl.

RONALD REAGAN (1988): We should be aware of the demagogues who are ready to declare a trade war against our friends, weakening our economy, our national security, and the entire free world—all while cynically waving the American flag.

A recent YouGov survey showed more people IN EVERY CONSTITUENCY IN ENGLAND, SCOTLAND AND WALES back closer arrangements with the EU rather than more transatlantic trade with Washington. Labour needs to listen if it wants a second term. @labourlewis.bsky.social @stellacreasy.bsky.social

The UK public overwhelmingly say US oligarch Elon Musk is a threat to democracy and trying to sabotage their country. The majority see him as a joke and opportunist. "Musk is a deeply unpopular figure in the UK, with a net favourability rating of -35, lower than Nigel Farage or Tommy Robinson."

Whatsapp, like Facebook, is owned by Zuckerberg's Meta. Signal is owned by the Signal Foundation. And it's more secure. We have a choice.

Liz Truss threatens to sue Keir Starmer unless he "ceases and desists" from alleging she crashed the economy. In other news, here's Liz Truss making the exact same allegation against Gordon Brown

The @nytimes.com should hire whoever wrote this headline. Seriously!

And no question of Labour even questioning the most hardline Tory ideology imposed in our lifetime.

She's truly awful.

This is definitely worth reading. And please donate to or subscribe to independent journalism when you can. The Philadelphia Inquirer still posts factual news.

Give a man a fish, and he will have food for a day. Teach a man how to fish unsustainably, and he and everyone else will starve, as all the fish are gone.

Elon Musk spent $45 million to target Black, Jewish, Muslim voters and others with disinformation ads. The ads had lies tailored to target citizens by race and religion to demotivate thems from voting and turn them against Kamala Harris. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Wise counsel.

I would have preferred to give up my UK passport rather than my European one. I cannot fully describe my hatred of Brexit.

Twitter has lost nearly one-fifth of its daily active user base in the U.S. and a whopping one-third in the UK.  mashable.com/article/elon...

My Ma was born overseas, and has been here since long before this man was even born She’s got more degrees than him, including her own PhD I am her child, and I have served in the NHS my entire life I know Dr Goodwin is trying to suggest my+Ma’s existence here is bad, but really- really, is it?

Now this 👇 is what I call election interference. www.mirror.co.uk/news/politic...

Something should really be done about all these British political activists interfering in US elections.

A fake POTUS doing a fake work !
