President Zelensky will meet King Charles at Sandringham tomorrow. A spokesman for the King said the purpose of the meeting was "to annoy the fuck out of that dreadful orange shithead"

youtu.be/pvT3aQjLxdE Here's a 🎶 twist on Coldplay's thumping #VivaLaVida we're calling "Puppets on a Kremlin String?" It reflects on the grotesque media spectacle hosted by #Trump & #Vance yesterday at the White House. In solidarity with Zelensky & Ukraine. #SlavaUkraini #Dontabandonthem

Eric got it…

Absolutely @eddavey.libdems.org.uk

Spot on from Philip M Jackson

one of the bravest Republicans of her generation

Zelenskyy knows what it is to fight for something bigger than yourself. Trump does not.

Be a Zelensky in a world of Trumps.

Pass it on. #StandWithUkraine

NEW: A searing editorial in the The Kyiv Independent. “It’s time to say it plainly. America’s leadership has switched sides in the war. The American people have not, and they should speak up. “A president just disrespected America in the Oval Office. It wasn’t Zelensky.” @kyivindependent.com

MAGA are mad at Zelenskyy for not wearing a suit for an official White House meeting. Meanwhile:

Trump & Vance tried to humiliate Ukraine. And ended up humiliating America.

Slava Ukraini.

European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen 👏

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.

Words fail me!

The FAA is close to canceling a $2.4 billion contract with Verizon to overhaul the communications system that serves as the backbone of the nation’s air traffic control and is awarding the work to Musk’s Starlink. Follow the money and see where it goes.

Elon Musk is not the richest man in the world; men who live at home with their partner and children who love them experience riches he couldn't imagine.

Sir Sadiq Khan says a youth mobility scheme “would help aid economic growth across London” while giving under 30s the chance to work abroad. He also argued that closer ties with Europe would help counter the economic impact of threatened US tariffs. ~AA www.bestforbritain.org/sadiq_khan_r...

‘Who is Trump to decide our fate?’: takeover threat adds to uncertainty in Gaza

Why is it unacceptable for a Palestinian family to use the same Asylum Seeker route Ukrainians used?

Great piece on how Europe needs to become a counterweight to both Trump & Putin and their extreme right-wing policies.

Promoting green growth does not make you an ‘eco-nutter’. It’s the only way forward

Funny, but horrifying. The best kind of art. By @stephencollins.bsky.social

Having to fight Elon Musk at DOGE before we’ve even battled Trump feels like having to defeat the forces of Saruman first at Helm’s Deep.

The dove…

Imagine you were the richest man in the world. You could have anything you wanted, go anywhere you wished, do whatever took you fancy. How would you spend your weekend? Depriving the poorest people in the world of food and healthcare and boasting about it?

On the 5th anniversary of leaving the EU, let's take some time to reflect on the benefits of Brexit - OK, finished.

Why is building a third Heathrow runway with all the implications extra air traffic has for net zero targets seen as more of a growth driver than, I don't know, connecting our big cities with proper rail networks?

Public service announcement:

Hi, I’m God. I had nothing to do with saving that guy’s life or making him president.

CAT ADVISORY: Temperatures in the UK could drop to -10c tonight. All cats should IMMEDIATELY find the warmest spot in the house and stay there. Tell humans to bring you snacks and to keep the second warmest spot free in case you want a change of scenery.

I mean it’s sort of amazing that the incoming US President has basically said he’s going to declare war on Denmark, annex Canada and rename bits of the globe to his liking and broadcast news is just rolling with it like he’s delivered a sombre and thoughtful policy announcement. Absolute insanity.

Climate crisis ‘wreaking havoc’ on Earth’s water cycle, report finds

#TheStreet at ebb tide... A unique shingle bank at #TankertonBay, created by winds, tides + estuarine currents but endured for centuries = great example of #NegativeFeedback in a #CoastalSystem. @whitstablelive.bsky.social @metoffice.bsky.social @stormhour.bsky.social @thephotohour.bsky.social

Remember the outrage when Israel first targeted hospitals in Gaza? Now, the last hospital in northern Gaza is destroyed, babies are freezing to death & the WHO Director-General narrowly survived an attack in Yemen. This genocide is fuelled by UK arms sales & Western support.

Interesting
