Seeing Kemi Badenoch respond to matters of unprecedented geopolitical importance reminds me of an anxiety dream I used to have about agreeing to play drums at a charity concert with the Rolling Stones & remembering on the night that I can’t play the drums.

It certainly does.

Starmer: “I do think the United Kingdom has a responsibility to step up and to lead. We’ve done that historically. We’re doing that again.”

Facts 👇👇👇

Translation: "We are containing the geopolitical damage done by President Manbaby and the eyeliner wearing sofasexual."

The morning after it feels even worsen. Here is the @therestpolitics.bsky.social LIVESTREAM we did last night on the Trump-Vance ambush of Zelensky … America had elected a disaster alastaircampbell.org/2025/02/378-...

Remember when the British Brexit MEPs turned their backs on Europe. They admired Putin and Russia. This is now The Reform Party.

Starmer spoke to the press following the summit of Canadian, Turkish and European leaders held at Lancaster House on the future of Ukraine. #EuropeNews

‘I’m selling the Nazi mobile’: Tesla owners offload cars after Musk’s fascist-style salutes

Dusting off my old Oxford English Dictionary and consulting carefully, I could not find "attack friends and submit to enemies" as a definition of the word "strength."

Keir Starmer embraces President Zelensky as he arrives at Downing St.

A lot of people are going to die from this

🇬🇧🇺🇦 "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

Oralé Resisters They were offended Zelenskyy didn’t wear a suit to the White House. By Bone Spurs draft dodging Lying President of the United States! Here’s a reason 👇 not to abolish the Department of Education! Churchill WW 2 White House Visit UK at War! #SlavaUkraine #Zelenskyy #USDemocracy

Zelensky at Downing street

What happened to Little Marco?

This moment is going in the history books as the moment the US became irrelevant as a global power and ushered in the start of world war 3. Zelenskyy exposed the traitors.

Who's with me?

This is Winston Churchill visiting Washington DC to request assistance in the war against Germany. Notice he is wearing a "zip suit" and not a traditional suit. This was to honor the British troops--the same reason Zelensky dresses the way he does.

We know.

Brutal.

Yup.

Trouble at the Farm is the second book in the Famous Five Adventures series that I have illustrated. Written by Sufiya Ahmed and bringing to life Enid Blyton’s much loved characters - George, Julian, Anne, Dick and their dog Timmy, from the Famous 5, will be out in May 2025!

They are arguing, endlessly, that illegally inciting acts of terror online is ‘free speech’ while silencing dissent, targeting journalists & telling an invaded ally what he is & is not allowed to say during a live television broadcast are all fine.

Yup!

Whenever you welcome guests, treat them with kindness, grace and respect. Simple as that.

Silver lining: Europe became a Union yesterday. 🇪🇺

At 9am on Saturday morning, a group of women spread across a busy street in central Kyiv and stopped traffic to observe a minute of silence. A loudspeaker counted 60 ticks before blaring the opening lines of the national anthem — “Ukraine’s glory and freedom have not yet perished”… on.ft.com/4kjCmfk

Governor Walz has it right. I miss hearing his plain, common sense talk.

Dydd Dewi Sant hapus i bawb.

In light of yesterday’s panto-worthy performance of Trump and Vance in the White House, I highly recommend you read @georgemonbiot.bsky.social insightful piece earlier this week. This is the question Europeans have to face www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Zelenskyy knows what it is to fight for something bigger than yourself. Trump does not.

Not sure about the slanted appearance of the #guardiannewspaper lead article layout today either! Looks too pro orangey man to me

JFYI #UkrainianView

Another important investigation from the Kyiv Independent. I want y'all to give me an hour of your time and watch it. #UkrainianView youtu.be/rKNNTj6hZzo

I’ve met many homeless British people who have been exploited. It seems to be addiction, more than homelessness, that puts them in harm’s way.
