“The Ukrainian president was elected in free elections in Ukraine..he is an elected president of a free system. That's not the case with Vladimir Putin, who kills his opponents and has been manipulating his elections for a long time” Emmanuel Macron President of France 👏

Legs were feeling tired today, so rather than #running the 8k in my #Runna plan, limited myself to a 2 mile run on the #treadmill. Walked into town and back, another 2 miles. Then, decided to try out #Rouvy. #RunEveryDay #GetFitStayFit #cycling #strava #56MilesInFebruary #ProstateCancerResearch

Just signed up for a trial of #Rouvy. Wow, downloaded and just been taking a look at some of the routes. Love it! Off out, but looking forward to a spin later!

“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.” A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.

In an unprecedented purge of the military’s senior leadership, President Donald Trump fired the top US general just moments before his defense secretary fired the chief of the US Navy and the vice chief of the Air Force.

"In Norway, Tesla saw a 38% sales slump, in France sales dropped by 63%, and in Spain by 75%. Tesla sales dropped 13% across the whole European Union last year and are expected to fall further... Tesla registered only 1,277 new cars in Germany in January, a year-on-year drop of 59.5%."

Trump is on the brink of betraying Ukraine and the UK. Britain must lead in Europe by increasing defence spending immediately and all political parties should get round the table to make that happen. I fear what happens if we don't take this step.

A former Soviet intelligence officer has claimed Donald Trump was recruited by the KGB in 1987 and given the codename "Krasnov" Who would have guessed www.mirror.co.uk/news/us-news...

Jordan Bardella, leader of France’s far-right National Rally, canceled a planned address at the right-wing Conservative Political Action Conference in Washington after Steve Bannon made what appeared to be a Nazi salute on stage.

“Our closest ally, the United States, is now supporting Russia, removing itself from the defence of Europe and the UK..We've got to make the defence of our country our top priority" @eddavey.libdems.org.uk

Fuuuuuucking helllll

Looks like #CPAC is the in-place to be if you're a #neoNazi. And a #SiegHeil salute by speakers now de rigueur.

Bannon has a bit of a "I can't afford to sue all of you if you call it a Nazi salute" half heartedness to it that Musk's didn't.

Day 52. Legs feeling tired this morning. Combination of cumulative fatigue and the shock of being outside instead of on the #treadmill. So just a mile this morning with a stop at Cooplands to get some pastries for breakfast! 🥐🥐 #Runna #Running #RunEveryDay #GetFitStayFit

Space fight! Elon Musk and famed astronaut trade online insults over ‘stuck’ crew

48% of Brits believe it is more important for the UK government to support Ukraine than to maintain good relations with the US

Had to travel in to the office today, but with some warmer weather, had to get outside for my #RunEveryDay #Running when I got back home. It was after sunset, but I was actually too warm! Needed to ditch my top layer! 🥵 #Runna #GetFitStayFit #56MilesInFebruary for #ProstateCancerResearch

Imagine my 12 year olds reaction to all the amazing cycle infrastructure in Amsterdam. Bear in mind she has grown up in Hackney where sticking a few trees next to a lethal road junction is seen as an amazing upgrade by the useless local council

Almost every major British political party has bent the knee to Donald Trump. The Liberal Democrats are happy to stay standing.

It is time to end the special relationship with Trump. We stand with Ukraine. 🇺🇦 centralbylines.co.uk/opinion/it-i...

I used to struggle with calling myself a "runner," thinking I wasn’t good enough. But I quickly realized how silly that was —if my feet are hitting the road, I’m a runner🏃 no matter the distance or pace. #running #runningpunks #fitness

BREAKING: Sir Keir Starmer has spoken to Zelenskyy this evening expressing his support, Downing Street has said

You’re not going mad you’re just living through the peak of hypernormalisation.

Forget NATO. Forget the EU. A new coalition of nations is emerging to deal with the greatest security crisis to hit Europe in decades.

Spot on

I’m George Takei and I approve of this message.

Day 50 of my #RunEveryDay challenge, and another 2 miles for the #ProstateCancerResearch #56MilesInFebruary challenge. I even finished with a little 200m sprint. Well, a sprint by my standards, but probably just a light jog for many! 😂 #treadmill #running #runna #GetFitStayFit #RED050

De-industrialisation and lower attainment levels have let the region fall behind in productivity and economic growth | Casey Peyton @yorkshirebylines.co.uk

Trump running America is the political equivalent of letting Dougal do a funeral.

Unapologetically. ✊🇪🇺

And it’s stuff like this why his second in command claims the term ‘disinformation’ is an affront to ‘free speech’.

Calling Zelensky a “Dictator” must be where the line is drawn. It is my sincere hope that the whole political spectrum in the United Kingdom will speak with one voice in opposition to Trump’s lies.

"If Trump were president in 1939". Great cartoon by Mike Luckovich.
