It’s ok I’ve sorted it , no need for WW3

European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen 👏

Ukraine deal off, Trump says after public spat with Zelenskyy. It is now clear that the US nuclear defence shield for Europe is worth nothing if Trump is in charge. The Europeans need to form a European defence force now and obtain their own nuclear deterrent. www.euronews.com/2025/02/28/t...

Seeing Zelensky's exchange in the white house has reminded me how much I cherish the idea of education for the sake of education. Having politicians that grow out of a well-articulated, well-rounded, and well-informed public is so important for democracy and for peace.

For two men who have professed such hostility towards taking the knee, they are surprisingly happy to do it for Putin, in the Oval Office, in full view of the world’s media.

Titanic paper from @andrewduffeu.bsky.social, which I missed at the time While there may be some stuff to quibble about, and some of this will be hard reading for Europeans, as well as for some in the UK, as a whole this is what needs to be said. This should be the focus for join. A reaction 🧵

Starmer has been totally clear that he stands with Ukraine. The issue is to use such tools as the UK has, which are limited but not entirely negligible, to do so with ruthless pragmatism, and without self-indulgent gestures, however gut-wrenching the former and however tempting the latter.

Dear Volodymyr Zelenskyy, dear Ukrainian friends, you are not alone.

What is unfolding for the UK is a hard lesson in what 'sovereignty' really means. And it's nothing to do with EU Directives about widgets (which, anyway, we largely still comply with).

1/ I hope everyone today understands that Starmer foolishly allowed himself to be duped by Trump. Trump, Vance, and Musk are not errant allies. They are criminal enemies of democracy who will exploit any attempt at appeasement for their malign ends.

UK Govt invites public to have a say on water sector future. Another impression management exercise. Govt has ruled out public ownership, worker/customer elected directors, worker/customer vote on exec pay. Won't prevent dividends, inflation-busting customer bill hike, sewage dumping.

I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget what Trump did.

#OffWithTheirHeads

When the British state apologised for, inter alia, Grenfell or Bloody Sunday, I'm sure many Britons agreed it was appropriate regarding those state actions* Why is acknowledging Brexit - an attack, in alliance with out enemies, first and foremost, on Europe and European citizens - not appropriate?

Incredible that Trump's administration don't seem to realise that the reason Russia doesn't want Nato in Ukraine is because it views *America as its archenemy*. Yet on they go. Wastes of human skin.

This was live and public extortion by bullies who don't have a millionth of the courage or dignity Zelenskyy has. One of the most disgusting things

Tax Evasion a problem 360x worse than Benefit Fraud.

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.

I strongly suspect that Putin and Trump are following a divide and conquer strategy of splitting the UK from the EU. The ground for such a move was laid down by Brexit, which itself was the result of a successful Russian influence operation. How long can Starmer straddle two horses?

Dividend ban on England water firms unlikely, Government appointed water commission hints. In public ownership, dividends are not paid. Profits are ploughed into infrastructure investment. That isn't on the govt agenda. Commission created to mobilise support for govt. Won't work. archive.ph/A4MF7

Trump treats Zelensky disgustingly and tells him either you "make a deal or we're out." There is not much time for the EU to get its act together and walk away from the US run as it is by a dangerous felon www.cnn.com/politics/liv...

Tusk and Macron come out supporting Zelensky. Pressure building on Starmer.

Right now, I am remembering the Merz statement from Sunday night whether we still have a NATO in its current shape by summer. I think it is fair to say that NATO of the last 60 years is gone already, and today was proof of it.

Perhaps we can stop being so parochial about Starmer's trip to Washington now. It was a failure. We are in a battle against fascism. And every decision we make is judged by whether it assisted or opposed it.

If I were Starmer I would be on the phone to Zelensky offering a stopover in London on the way. Because it is sure as hell Macron is offering a stopover in Paris. If I were Zelensky. I'd accept Macron's offer.

Perhaps the chorus of jingoistic morons here who go on about ‘freedom’ and ‘taking back control’ will finally now see the value of a strongly united, indivisible Europe. Without one, we have neither freedom nor control over anything. Our fate is in our hands. 🇪🇺

The whole thing was planned. Designed for the cameras to make Zelenskyy look like an ungrateful petulant nobody. Unfortunately it has soiled America in front of the entire world and will I think impede its insatiable urge to gaslight every other country on earth.

Zelenskyy has huge balls. Doing this all right in front of the press. Honestly the first bit of inspiring media I've seen in a long time.

Yakovenko told a fellow diplomat: “We have crushed the British to the ground. They are on their knees, and they will not rise for a very long time.” Brexit was the result of a successful Russian influence operation. bylinetimes.com/2022/03/08/p...

I agree with Gary Lineker the BBC should put the Gaza Documentary back on today. And they should broadcast it tonight.

Water sector needs 'urgently' fixing says minister. Why is the govt resisting public ownership and promising reprivatisation if forced to nationalise after firm bankruptcy? Put customer/worker elected directors on boards. Let worrkers/customers vote on exec pay.

Listen up you absolute fucking legends of stupidity, you glorious, star-spangled dipshits, you majestically brain-dead champions of mediocrity, you beige wallpaper of humanity… measles outbreaks do not HAPPEN ALL THE TIME in our country. Stop acting like this shit is normal. It’s not.

Dear Prime Minister, during your visit to the US today, please, please, please, please do NOT invite DJT for yet another State Visit to the UK, or try to woo him with honorary Knighthood.

The embrace and protection of Andrew Tate at the highest level of US government tells you everything you need to know about this rotten administration. They worship at the altar of abusing women and girls. Their version of morality supports sex trafficking under the guise of camming

🚨BREAKING - Steve Reed has just launched the biggest review into the water sector since privatisation. But wait…..he says the commission can’t even consider public ownership. 🤯 We need to act quickly to change his mind. ⏰ Sign our petition now ✍️ weownit.org.uk/act-now/stev...

Curious how so many are egging on the cut to foreign aid from 0.5% to 0.3% saying we need to invest in defence But so few are calling to rejoin the EU where we could recover 4-5% in GDP and use some of that to fund defence

When Rishi Sunak made the Vaccine deal with Moderna as Chancellor, he had up to £530m invested in Moderna. Now Michelle Mone is desperately bringing it up. Like if you want Mone on trial. RT if you want them both facing the music.

Ed Davey calls for the renationalisation of Thames Water Keir Starmer ignores him #PMQs

80% of crimes are driven by poverty, if the people weren't poor they wouldn't commit the crime. Billionaires are the biggest cause of poverty. Therefore billionaires cause 80% of crime.

The stupidest possible crap, produced by the world’s biggest assholes, for gleeful consumption by the nation’s most spiteful dipshits, at the cost of literally everyone else.
