"As a nation we must stand up to a self-aggrandising and unprincipled president on one side of the world and a belligerent and criminal president on the other." Powerful letter from The Rev Dr Lida Ellsworth in the Times.

No-one could imagine Trump speaking to Putin like that. Which is one of the reasons that just happened.

What sort of country tries to make Zelensky look like a pariah yet welcomes in the Tate boys?

"The risk with Trump is that while he dangles the prospect of a trade deal, history suggests it’s unlikely to materialise. Even if it did, gov't figures suggest it would deliver a mere 0.16% boost to GDP, compared with 2.2% from an improved deal with the EU," our CEO says. 1/2

If Andrew Windsor is invited to the State Banquet, him & Trump could reminisce about their mutual bestie, Jeffrey Epstein.

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.

This is thuggery from Trump and Vance, plain and simple. They are bullying the brave true patriot Zelensky into accepting a deal which effectively hands victory to Russia. Unless the UK and Europe step up, we are facing a betrayal of Ukraine.

The Prime Minister should show British leadership on Ukraine by inviting President Zelenskyy to address Parliament on Monday. I'm proud that the UK has been Ukraine's staunchest ally from the start. We mustn't falter in the face of Trump's bullying now.

I want to send my best wishes to Muslims in the UK and across the world at the beginning of Ramadan. This holy month is a special time for reflection, prayer, and coming together as a community. Wishing you a peaceful and blessed Ramadan.

I think today might’ve been a setback for Trump’s Nobel Peace Prize candidacy.

I think this is the closest many of us have ever got to seeing the real Trump. The only consistent thread in his entire unhinged rant was the love & praise for Vladimir Putin. Zelensky has more courage & dignity in his little finger than every member of Trump's regime & fan club combined.

I know I shouldn’t cross post from a hot bed of neo-Nazism. But this is mad. Imagine the implications for sport for starters if this was true. You can play for a British team, but not for England. that’s for whites.

No point engaging in further rhetoric. The truth of the matter is now plain to see. America has sided with Russia and against Ukraine. It is on the side of tyranny. The fundamental questions from this point out are practical, not political.

Trump and Vance needed to create an incident to provide a justification for their pre-planned abandonment of Ukraine now, then separation from NATO in the near future. That’s what that was all about, and that was always the way a second Trump term was going to go.

Russian Lawmaker Predicted the Trump-Vance Ambush of Zelensky State Duma member Oleg Morozov said the meeting would be a lesson in humiliation, designed to condition Zelensky to capitulate to the US—and later to Russia. Me for @thedailybeast.bsky.social: www.thedailybeast.com/russian-lawm...

If the market continues to trend down, and the Atlanta Fed turns out to be right, the midterms will be very interesting. The battle between republican self preservation and MAGA will be intense

He really is the definition of a true leader. This man's balls can be seen from space.

Word of the day is ‘huff-snuff’ (16th century): a hectoring bully or braggart.

When you've lost Karl Rove.

‘European officials were aghast at the scenes from the Oval Office, with one senior diplomat concluding that “we are on our own” and describing the Trump administration as “unhinged”.’ www.ft.com/content/2108...

He is not just appeasing Putin, he is aligned with him. And every single client journalist, political shill & public/online cheerleader on both sides of the Atlantic is too. Against Zelensky. Against Ukraine. Against freedom. Against the most basic tenets of decency.

European leaders are stepping forward to tonight to show their support for President Zelensky 👏

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.

Oh Good God what is Truss up to now? All these people talking about being prevented from free speech on every platform there is! They don't even see the funny side of it because people on the far-right have NO sense of humour. That's one of the reasons they're so scary!

Allowing the Tate brothers to hide from justice in Florida is ignoring the rule of law, ignoring our extradition treaties and is deeply wrong.

Was the "error" disabling the company's automated content moderation systems last month?

Not sure why everyone seems so surprised that Starmer handled the Trump meeting so well. He was DPP for five years. He's used to dealing with criminals.

Nothing says transparency quite like redacting most of the Epstein files including the most damning evidence that can connect to the orange felon.

Meanwhile in Russia: state TV pundits thanked Trump for his revolutionary policies that greatly benefit Moscow. They claimed that the American president is ready to give Russia as much of Ukraine as Putin wants. www.youtube.com/watch?v=dd07...

The cost of reaching net zero in the UK by 2050 is now predicted to be just 0.2% of GDP (about £4 billion per year). Spread this far and wide. It reveals Reform and the Conservatives' opposition to net zero for being 'too expensive' as just plain wrong.

If Trump had any history of consistency, honesty or keeping his word then you’d have to say that Starmer has played a blinder.

Asked if he still thinks Zelensky is a dictator Trump replies “Did I say that? I can’t believe I said that” Yes you did👇

As America seems to be welcoming the likes of the Tates, Brand, and C. Robinson, perhaps they could also take Fox, Wooton, Grimes, and Yaxley-Lennon and have a complete set.

The Lib Dem strategy: say incredibly obvious and popular things that other parties refuse to mention and speak to the vast number of voters other parties ignore. Hey, it just might work. economist.com/britain/2025...
