We sent NHS staff into a deadly pandemic wearing bin liners. Hundreds of them died. Separated from their families for months, they worked unimaginable hours, and saw thousands drown in their bed. And these worms DARE judge them for doing something silly for 5mins to boost morale and keep sane? WTAF

Amidst the devastation of Russia's war, Ukrainian servicewomen fight for their country and the future of their families. Their strength stands as a testament to the enduring spirit of Ukraine.

A friend included this anti-acknowledgement section on her PhD thesis. She also added the proposition: “Systematic bullying and undermining of girls and women in STEM starts early on and is the reason why they do not stay in science and related fields.” Absurd we still need to go through this 🧪👩‍🔬

Trump on NATO: “If the US was in trouble and we called them. You think they're going to come and protect us? I’m not so sure.” This already happened, after 9/11. And every single member state backed the US. He really does talk a load of old blathering shite.

"Some random country that hasn't fought a war in 40 years..." Over 500 dead British and French personnel (more than 1,000 total European fatalities) and c10,000 injured in Afghanistan 2001-2021. The only time Article 5 has been invoked. 'Disrespect' does not reside in lack of a suit, Mr Vance. ~AA

Trump never had a peace plan for Ukraine. He had a plan for Ukraine's surrender, with a colonial resource grab. As Zelenskyy rightly refused it, or to cooperate in Trump's TV spectacular, the US has now cut Ukraine off. That's what blackmail looks like. That's what the world is up against.

So now, because Zelensky didn’t wear a suit or agree to Trump’s extortion, Trump freezes support to Ukraine… He wants Zelensky on his knees and Ukraine to suffer further hell, in order to pander to his grotesque ego. Presumably he also expects us all to thank him for this murderous betrayal.

This is the problem with the timidity and fake balance of BBC political coverage. A historic betrayal of Ukraine to Russia by Europe's former ally is boiled down to an utterly superficial row about a man's clothes www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

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.

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 think this will go down in history as one of the most disgraceful moments ever in the Oval Office. Trump is shocking but Vance has somehow beaten him for disgraceful behaviour. Zelensky’s restraint was admirable, I don’t know how he didn’t just walk out.

Jeez. This is absolutely appalling & shameful from Trump and Vance. President Zelenskyy is the democratically elected leader of a sovereign country who is bravely standing against the illegal invasion of Ukraine by a murderous ACTUAL dictator called Vladimir Putin

Starmer did his best with Trump and while unpalatable I completely understood his approach. But what just happened in the White House blew a massive hole in all of that. The tectonic plates of global security are shifting from day to day right now. A terrifying moment to live through.

We can all pretend Trump and Vance are some sort of inspired geniuses. Or we can see two soft bullies haranguing a man who has been fighting a war to save his country for three years.

have said for a month that Ukraine must look to Europe and elsewhere for support. This proves it. It is time for Ukraine to do this without the US. We are no longer a country that stands by our stated values and ideals - we are now morally small, vicious, and petty.

I genuinely have no sense how this might look to Americans watching - or any US allies around the world. I hope that some will see it for what it is and feel just as nauseated.

This is beyond fucking despicable. Threatening to shut off Starlink to Ukraine, a raped pillaged country (invaded by a dictator that this headcase and his bitch president refuses to condemn) unless they give up their natural resources is the most grim act of coercion I’ve seen.

This to me is the most striking finding on the depth of UK support for Ukraine. We know there is strong support for Ukraine in general but the fact that it even persists traded off against maintaining relations with for the US is a testament to how deep that support is.

Yes, Donald. The USA has fallen to tyranny. You’ve collapsed the Constitution. Torched American soft power. Allowed a drug-addled menace to trash any and all govt departments. Risked the world’s health and safety. Betrayed your citizens and your allies. Hand claps don’t come any slower than this.

Winston Churchill was right: "Democracy is the worst form of government except for all those other forms that have been tried.” Too many Americans have fought and died defending democracy. We must stand with our European allies against the authoritarianism of Putin and Trump.
