This cartoon even more apt today. By Tim Campbell.

Love it.

By suspending all military aid to Ukraine, Donald Trump is pulling the rug from beneath the courageous soldiers fighting for Ukraine’s survival - and Europe's freedom. The UK and our European allies step up and redouble our support for Ukraine before Putin takes advantage of this dangerous move.

📸 No one follows more etiquette rules than the Royal Family—but notice how King Charles didn’t make any smart-ass or demeaning comments about Zelensky’s attire today. Why? Because respect isn’t about clothes—it’s about character. And that’s something money can’t buy.

‘Guantánamo on steroids’: Inside a prison for suspected Islamic State members in Syria A prison administrator said “that’s correct” when @sallyhayd.bsky.social asked if many detainees had died from tuberculosis, and “no answer” when she requested the exact figure. www.irishtimes.com/world/middle...

A pro-Ukrainian crowd gathered outside a Tesla dealership in Manhattan, passionately chanting "Zelenskyy is a hero" in a show of strong support for the Ukrainian president. 🇺🇦 The demonstration emphasized solidarity with Ukraine in the face of the current conflict

HERO vs ZERO I'm in a state of shock & still trying to process yesterday's shameful, traitorous debacle in the WH: A DAY THAT WILL LIVE IN INFAMY. Our standing in the world has plummeted overnight, but the repercussions will be felt forevermore. #SlavaUkraini🇺🇦 #ShameOnUS🇺🇸

Ben Gvir refuses to apologize to hostages who said his rhetoric led to torture

🇬🇧🇺🇦 "Did you hear people cheering you on the street? You can see the support. And we will support as long as it takes. We want long-term peace," — Starmer to Zelensky

The War in Ukraine is an important reminder that the values of freedom and democracy, that we often take for granted, are far from guaranteed. On the third anniversary of Putin's illegal invasion, my thoughts go out to all those fighting to protect these values in the face of aggression. #ukraine

Merz v.firm on European independence from US. Dovish Scholz not going to be part of coalition talks, opening space for more hawkish Pistorius. Stable grand coalition possible. Europe is much stronger today. And yet most reporters are unable to see beyond their pre-written 'AfD triumphant' headline.

“In recent months, services in Idlib have gradually declined as the country’s new government focuses on other parts of the country, leaving residents worried that once-forgotten Idlib could be marginalized once more.” Mahmoud al-Shamali & @syriadirect.bsky.social: syriadirect.org/idlib-faces-...

Honestly, we’re at the point of random people selected by lucky dip will be better President. Jimmy the guy from Home Depot or Doris the hairdresser almost certainly have more sense than that shizblat of utter morons

Americans are being duped into the arms of authoritarianism.

Driving for UK electoral reform is one of my greatest passions, and I am so proud to be doing so from the House of Commons, on behalf of Tewkesbury constituents. 🔶

Kemi Badenoch says it's "a scandal" that Labour won a landslide on 34% of the vote. So why won't she come out for PR? I signed the open letter from @makevotesmatter.bsky.social to @kemibadenochmp.bsky.social calling on her to back PR. Add your name here: actionnetwork.org/forms/sign-t...

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has unveiled a plan to reduce projected U.S. Defense Department spending by 8% over the next five years, which means many in The Resistance™️ will now counter-lobby to protect the United States military budget. Can’t wait. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

"We must first and foremost look at what the people who are fighting think. Make concessions to Russia? Only 1% of the population supports that. It may seem like this can be resolved through some agreements. No, it is impossible." – Zelenskyy at a press conference. t.me/c/1377735387...

I love America. Like myself, three of my siblings married Americans. But the current US administration is a direct threat to my country and my European neighbours. My loyalty is to Enlightenment values, democracy and the rule of law. Trump and Putin are anathema to those values

Isabel Oakeshott (went to same school as King Charles) has moved to tax haven Dubai, such is her love of UK. Give me strength Boyfriend Tice's family built skyscrapers there Reform UK Ltd aka RICH KIDS fooling those who have nothing...but filling them with hatred of others who have nothing either

Welcome to our new era of governing by fear

Norway sounding alarm after discovering that Russia is not only disrupting Global Navigation Satellite Systems across the border, but also spoofing GPS signals, an attack that can cause significant disruption to commercial aviation. @thebarentsobserver.com www.thebarentsobserver.com/news/we-were...

Trump might forget about Greenland, but he also might not. To Danes and many others, “this way of making policy feels arbitrary, pointless, even surreal,” @anneapplebaum.bsky.social writes. “But it is also now permanent, and there is no going back.”

Zelensky shared a video of the first interrogation of North Korean soldiers captured in Kursk yesterday. He also stated that Ukraine is ready to hand over North Korean prisoners if Kim Jong Un organizes an exchange for Ukrainian soldiers held by Russia. t.me/noel_reports...

Elon Musk has had a lot to say about the grooming gangs scandal. We looked at 24 hours on Musk's X timeline and found a range of false and misleading information being amplified. www.bbc.co.uk/news/videos/...

Fico refused Kyiv's offers to help with gas supplies, Zelensky says #Ukraine

You think?!! The State Department briefed the Trump transition team there could be a humanitarian "catastrophe" in Gaza when a new Israeli law barring contact with UNRWA takes effect at the end of the month, three U.S. officials told me. www.axios.com/2025/01/08/t...

On Wednesday 15th January, James MacCleary MP has a debate on opportunities for young people to live and work in Europe. Contact your MP asking them to attend the debate and make your voice heard.

Left: Keir Starmer says people voted to be out of the EU Single Market in the Brexit referendum Right: Leading Brexiter Daniel Hannan said if we voted to leave the EU, we would not leave the EU Single Market Labour's dishonesty over Brexit is a disgrace

It took the last government about five minutes to legislate to stop foreigners buying a national newspaper. How long will it take for this government to close a loophole that allows a foreigner to influence the next UK election by sloshing millions the way of one party?

Merry Christmas from the Liberal Democrats! We hope your holidays are filled with love, laughter, and happiness. 🎄✨

#Syria: The newly established #Syrian authorities have officially recognized Catholic #Christmas as a public holiday. By this decision, all government offices will remain closed on December 25 and 26.

Paying the President protection money is a completely normal feature of functioning democracies

Some gyms are rolling by using the Bashar al-Assad pictures for their ads😂🫣

Bashar al-Assad might have wanted his fall to precipitate chaos, but in Syria’s capital, order prevails and life is improving. Sami Moubayed gives a firsthand account of a moment of transition in Damascus, for @newlinesmag. newlinesmag.com/reportage/a-...

I'm not a legal expert, but it seems to me that Israel is clearly carrying out the forced displacement of civilians from northern Gaza (in accordance with the "General's Plan"), which is a war crime and a crime against humanity: wapo.st/4gQi0Yt

Their sympathiser carried out a terrorist attack, and now they are using this attack to mobilise in different parts of Germany. The plan is going off without a hitch. There are conspiracies going around online that the terrorist was an infiltrated Islamist and people like the narrative.

By citing unexplained but near-total reduction of north Gaza population, Ambassador Lew suggests Israel is now averting famine in north Gaza the same way it has “separated” militants from Gazan civilians – no people, no problem. tcf.org/content/comm...
