The level of ambition and commitment shown here towards Ukraine is unequivocally welcome. The tragedy is that it was absent in 2022, when a swift, united response could have stopped Russia far sooner, far further East. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/m...

"America First" will cost America more than it's saving. Not just in money.

Christiane Amanpour, "Peace is great, the question is on whose terms" "Everything we've heard from Trump says it's on Putin's terms"

What fun. My hashtag #WankerInTheWhiteHouse seems to be trending on X/Twitter.

BREAKING: “They have been invaded by Russia. This is Russian aggression and the quickest way to end this conflict is Russia to stop the aggression and we need to be really clear about that” Prime Minister Keir Starmer 👏

Australian newspaper "The Sun-Herald" opinion piece calls it out. American msm, take notes.

The fact that many Americans cannot recognize fascism unless it looks exactly like Nazi Germany is very dangerous.

The transatlantic alliance and NATO are over. Scotland's future is with 500 million other Europeans. Scotland has nothing to gain & everything to lose by shackling itself to a delusional UK that robs us of our natural wealth & refuses to accept the new geopolitical reality.

Apparently the way to avoid WW3 is to watch dictators invade other peoples’ countries illegally, tune in to see them firing on nuclear power plants, kill 1000s of civilians, and then after a while say ‘OK, have the land you took, don’t do it again though, naughty!’

Any Scot who now doesn't want Scottish Independence, has taken leave of their senses. Better Together, Boris, Brexit, Liz Truss, This. An Independent Scotland would be one of the Richest Countries in Europe. What will it take? Nigel Farage as Prime Minister?

Starmer: “I do not accept that the US is an unreliable ally.” Starmer has to say this. The key is that he doesn’t believe it.

Slava Ukraini

You can’t just “think” chronic pain away. You can’t “trick” your brain into coping better. It’s just shit. And actually accepting this has been the best thing I did. Denial, self-gaslighting, and ignoring things only makes it worse long-term.

If the UK’s immigration rules mean what they say, Trump shouldn’t even be allowed to enter the country, let alone for a state visit ….

Woah - was not expecting to see that from the Daily Mail… …but spot on.

Mike Myers, Canadian legend, on SNL tonight.

The deputy speaker of Israel’s parliament and a leading member of Netanyahu’s party calling for the bombing of food stocks in Gaza just a few hours ago. You won’t see this mentioned by any European or American leaders, or by most western media.

Operation Branchform The UK Unionist Establishment should be in no doubt. That if the case goes to court, there will be thousands of donors who are willing to testify for the defense that - 'The money I donated as far as I am concerned was spent within remit that motivated me to make a donation' 1/

Christiane Amanpour would run rings around Kuenssberg. 🙂 #bbclaurak

Can you imagine what the papers and the Brexiters would say if this was anyone else? How have Nigel Farage and Donald Trump managed to get away with being Russia assets for so long?

Absolutely @eddavey.libdems.org.uk

Zelenskyy and Churchill At the White House In a time of war

Good!

Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer walks Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to his motorcade after their meeting in Number 10

WOW. After yesterday’s Oval Office ambush of President Zelensky, Haltbakk Bunkers, one of Norway’s leading marine fuel providers, announced that it will no longer refuel U.S. Navy vessels, urging other European firms to follow suit. The United States is weaker and more isolated than ever.

Norwegian fuel company Haltbakk Bunkers has announced it will cease supplying fuel to U.S. military forces in Norway and American ships docking in Norwegian ports, citing dissatisfaction with recent U.S. policy towards Ukraine. As usual Trump fucked it up because he's an imbecile.

My latest blog post, the end of the Anglo-Saxon transatlantic alliance, Scotland and the UK's futures lie with Europe not Trumpian neo-fascism. weegingerdug.wordpress.com/2025/03/01/t...

The cowardice of the GOP has been astounding 👇 #TraitorTrump

Do you want Donald Trump to visit Scotland? It's a NO from me.

Yup!

BREAKING: WHO BEARS THE MOST RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE OVAL OFFICE ARGUMENT? WITH 79,312 VOTES 👏

What happened to Little Marco?

Governor Walz has it right. I miss hearing his plain, common sense talk.

Just hours after Ukraine's president and his US counterpart and vice president argued live on TV on Friday, European leaders voiced their full support for the eastern European country.

Per @chrisdjackson.bsky.social on another platform: “It took me 30 seconds to find at least ten postings from Zelensky directly thanking the United States for their support. There are many more. This is pure BS.”

Billionaires aren’t gods. They’re parasites. And when enough people stop feeding them, their whole empire crumbles.

Scotland and Canada: a blueprint for a new Commonwealth Scotland and Canada already share deep cultural and economic ties. In the future, they could become strategic allies, working together to reshape the global role of the Commonwealth. bylines.scot/opinion/hand...

Starmer & Macron knew when they went to the White House this week & tried to befriend Trump. However much they hoped it wasn’t true, because Europe was not in a fit state to cope with America switching sides, they knew. Donald Trump was not just an enemy of the woke but an enemy of freedom.
