In decades to come, statues, parks and streets will stand to the example of President Zelensky. Trump will stand only as a reminder of the worst excesses of entitlement, stupidity, evil, and privilege and how collectively they brought about the Downfall of America.

Weak. Just like his North Korea, Afghanistan and Iran 'deals'. They were rubbish and ended in disaster too. The true weakness of the bully. www.bbc.com/news/article...

During WWII, four brothers from the same Jewish family signed up to fight against the Nazis. Only one of the four brothers survived. His grandson is the current President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky. Sláva Ukrayíni!

The moment Trump ally Carla Sands tried to tell Victoria Derbyshire that there are more political dissidents in prison in the U.K. than in all of Russia. We really are through the looking glass now.

Twice in history the US had thought that isolationism was in its best interests. And twice it has realised, almost too late, that the defence of its own country required the defence of its allies. How come the US is so pig ignorant of its own history?

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?

I’ve decided I’m going to take over Lancashire, own it, level it, get all its inhabitants to relocate to Wales, Cumbria or wherever (not Yorkshire!), re-name it God’s Own Country, plant millions of acres of rhubarb and build a Betty’s Tea Room on every street corner. That’ll sort the buggers!! 👍 👀

Rev. Mariann Edgar Budde to Trump: "I ask you to have mercy upon the people in our country who are scared now. There are gay, lesbian, and transgender people in Democratic, Republican, and independent families, some who fear for their lives ... and the vast majority of immigrants are not criminals"

This idea of the White House rejecting Mandelson as Ambassador, partly because he didn't accept an invitation to the Farage party to build bridges, sounds like it is being floated from political circles around Trump who are very UK politics/Farage-focused. www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

You can’t possibly have a reasonable conversation with people like this (Musk or Oakeshott or an ever-expanding section of the British right). Their aim is to bully and destroy.

Can't quite believe what I just saw on Newnight - i/v with Joe Lonsdale? Thank God for @carolinelucas.bsky.social "It's not about 'different views', it's about lying, and we should call that out - the BBC should call that out.

Know all these Tories screaming about a second public inquiry? It’s a racist dog whistle. They know full well there’s already been an inquiry, it ran for 7 years, cost £200m and the Tory govt didn’t implement a single recommendation. So that’s what you remind them every time they lie.

This gang of sex abusers preyed on young children in Walsall, and got away with it for years. What could possibly explain the failure by Nigel Farage, Elon Musk and the Tories to call for a public inquiry about it?

We've crossed a very, very dangerous threshold. The combined forces of ignorance, disinformation, hate, and extreme wealth have seized power and are twisting the global agenda. Decent people need to step up and counter it all, or things are simply going to descend into the pit of hell.

I’ve been critical of Starmer on here. I see now in plain sight what the alternative is and it is repulsive. It is terrifying. It is morally repugnant - and if an ideology like this gets to take hold it will destroy this country. So no more friendly fire from me.
