French Senator Claude Malhuret: "Washington has become Nero’s court, with an incendiary emperor, submissive courtiers and a jester high on ketamine... We were at war with a dictator, we are now at war with a dictator backed by a traitor."

Catherine from Zaporizhzhia. She spent 5 hours under the rubble of her house, destroyed by a Russian missile. All this time she has been hugging her cat. P.S. Sorry she didn't wear a suit.

Please lecture us more about free speech in Europe.

Is this the same JD Vance who pretended to be so outraged at a leader supposedly disrespecting another country? Surely not.

"20,000 troops from some random country that hasn't fought a war in 30 or 40 years"

Given the importance he supposedly places on gratitude, Vance’s disdain for the service and sacrifice of UK soldiers’ in Iraq and Afghanistan is startling.

The UK lost 457 lives, experienced a further 616 casualties, and spent £32.8bn in Afghanistan after the US triggered NATO Article 5 following 9/11. Not to mention Iraq.

Stag tried to do everything with grace. It wasn’t about elegance or poise. It was a different kind of grace. He approached each day with kindness and love. To him, that was true grace. (He had to admit though, he found the elegance and poise thing came quite naturally to him too)

I don't want to be on ghastly x anymore but it's where a lot of my sales come from so this post is a brazen request for shares to spread the word about my work on a kinder platform that isn't run by a dangerous megalomaniac! www.etsy.com/uk/shop/Sara... #selfemployedartist #ukgifthour #shopindie

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?

On #Edinburgh bus & didn't start moving immediately, resisted for at least a minute then got camera out, stood up, and...you guessed it...the bus started moving. I grabbed a couple of shots as the moon slid behind that spirey thing as we moved. Love the interior lights.Top marks 4 guessing the roof?
