Could not agree more. The Prez & VP are shameful, embarrassing Putin puppets & a disgrace to our country. 🤮 #SlavaUkraine 🇺🇦

I will never forget the photo of Zelenskyy’s face after he saw Russia’s war crimes in Bucha in 2022. He seemed to age years in an afternoon. Watching him constantly cross the world asking for aid that should have been thrown at him is one of the deepest shames of our age.

A member of Russia’s state-owned news agency gained access to the Oval Office for President Trump’s sit-down with Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky – even as the AP and Reuters were barred from the high-level meeting.

Trump & Vance’s treatment of Zelenskyy was a snub to all of Europe. And the pair of them can fuck right off. I don’t want them having a single rare earth atom from European soil. I don’t want their military bases. I want Europe to throw everything into driving Russia off Ukrainian soil.

In decades to come, statues, parks and streets will stand to the example of President Zelensky. Trump will stand only as a reminder of the worst excesses of entitlement, stupidity, evil, and privilege and how collectively they brought about the Downfall of America.

PM keeps saying cutting aid budget was a “hard decision”. Rubbish, it was an easy cowardly decision - those feeling impacts are 1000s of miles away & won’t trouble him. A harder decision might have been to stand up to vested interests who oppose a wealth tax - but it would’ve been right thing to do

French lower house votes through wealth tax. A 2% minimum tax rate on the wealth of individuals whose net worth exceeds €100m. It is not yet law. UK needs to do similar to reduce inequalities. Instead govts penalise low/middle income families and make poor pay more for crumbling infrastructure.
