So Nigel Farage has chosen to explain away Trump’s outrageous remarks about President Zelensky instead of doing the right thing and condemning them. Deeply disappointing but not at all surprising. He sounds like a spokesman for Trump. He certainly doesn’t speak for Britain.

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.

Exactly this: “if you look at the amount of aid that has been provided to Ukraine since the war began, although the US has provided more military assistance, the EU has provided much more financial and humanitarian assistance – something Trump essentially treats as non-existent.”

Bernie Sanders: "European friends: Do not accept lectures on democracy and freedom of speech from an administration that denies the 2020 election results and is now suing news outlets whose reporting they don't like." He is right: the EU must stand firm against the US and stick to democratic values!

This is the outcome of placing people seeking safety, many with severe trauma, in entirely unsuitable places. We need a system which stops putting people in camps, and helps them build lives in communities. We need a system which supports those seeking asylum. www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home...

Keir Starmer should bring back Parliament to debate his plans to support Ukraine. We have just days for the UK to lead in Europe and save Ukraine from a shoddy deal cooked up by Trump and Putin.

Europe can’t rely on the strength of the transatlantic relationship to help contain Russia’s threat – it must lead from the front and be the true force of support that Ukraine needs. Not just for Ukraine’s sake, but for a free and sovereign Europe.

In principle there should be a vote in Parliament when troops are deployed. I’m confident all sides of the House are likely to agree with the Prime Minister apart from those Trump bootlickers in Reform.

So Reform UK MP Rupert Lowe has finally spelled out the quiet part in neon letters for those who hadn’t got it yet. This political moment isn’t about limiting protection to “genuine” refugees. It is about slamming the UK shut to people fleeing danger. There’s no pretending you didn’t know.

The world is on fire and Kemi Badenoch is giving a speech to a Tory think tank in which she says that "as the world becomes more complicated" it is "pronouns and DEI" that are "the real poison in our society". Sunak has given full support to Starmer on Ukraine. She still has not responded.

This country has seen some bad moments in the 61 years, 5 months, 16 days I’ve been on this Earth. But it has never, ever before come close to the supertoxic level of stupidity, mendacity, narcissism, nihilism, and moral apathy that threaten to destroy it today.

Let this sink in for a minute: Six billionaire families primarily funded Project 2025, the far-right social agenda now ravaging American society. These include the wealthy Coors, Koch, Uihlein, Scaife, Seid, and Bradley families. A few peoples' wealth is diverting the path of our entire culture.

"It’s worrying that you’ve got the Conservative party and the Reform party, the parties on the right, not willing to stand up for British values. And I think people are going to see that. "Standing up to Trump is the only way to make a deal with him." @eddavey.libdems.org.uk

The PM is absolutely right when it comes to the deployment of British troops in Ukraine to uphold any peace deal and deter Putin. The Government must look at reversing the Conservatives' 10k troop cuts asap.

The AfD does not value democracy - they see it as a tool to seize power. Once in control like Orban & Trump, they will dismantle checks & balances to rule without restrictions. History warns us: authoritarianism always comes at a high price. Germany don’t let this mistake be repeated. 🇩🇪 #NoAfD #BanX

The far-right AfD presents itself as a patriotic party, but is in fact the long arm of Russia and China. Now that Americans want to abandon Europe, voting for the AfD is even more dangerous, as this party deliberately wants to undermine Europe with neo-Nazi rhetoric. That's why we say #NoAfD #BanX
