He nails it.

Putin “loved Brexit, cheers on the far right in Europe and backed Trump because he wants to see the crumbling of the western bloc that has stood firm against him. For a US president to follow that script….is a huge win for the Kremlin” Trump-the traitorous patsy. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

There's a rumour that Nigel Farage is keeping his head down because he's off to a Trump cheerleading conference over the weekend. I’m afraid I’m being proved right- Farage is far more interested in Trump's success than British security. He is a bootlicker and a plastic patriot.

Donald Trump’s latest rant against President Zelensky could have been written by the Kremlin - spewing ludicrous and false attacks, seeking to divide the alliance that has helped Ukraine stand strong. Shameful.

Putin says Trump must go further before he’ll even agree to meet. Putin is entirely in the driving seat. The US has alienated its own allies, given Russia nearly all of what it wanted, bought Putin’s warped view of reality, and can’t even guarantee a meeting. The art of the deal, indeed.

If you’d asked AI to write a piece of Russian propaganda in the style of Donald Trump, this is what you’d get. Well done America, you’ve elected a Russian asset as your President.

Trump blames Ukraine for starting the war the way a rapist blames his victim for looking too sexy.

Essential listening today. As Trump blames c. 150,000 deaths to date on Ukraine for having the temerity to be invaded by Russia @mrjamesob.bsky.social asks "Has Putin won" www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Gsl...

Zelenskyy has delivered what might be one of the most enduring assessments of Trump www.theguardian.com/world/2025/f...

They tried to cancel John Crace from covering the right-wing jamboree at ExCel but no one can stop him filing copy this good www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Pretty disturbed by some of the Kremlin framing on the Trump talks being bought by parts of the media worldwide. It’s as if the genesis of the war is entirely forgotten. This isn’t a conflict which needs mediation. It was an unprovoked act of aggression. It could end tomorrow if Putin just withdrew.

Trump does not respect bootlickers like Nigel Farage . Standing up to Trump is the only way to make a deal with him.

This is what I expect from @eddavey.libdems.org.uk but also long to hear from the PM. We are shamed by silence. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

It looks like Starmer has finally found the real special relationship #RejoinEU

Good morning to this man, and this man only #bbcqt

Lisa Smart, "The Tories Brexit deal has not delivered what they said it would do" #BBCQT "There are too many barriers to trade with our European partners" "A customs union with the EU would deliver 15x more growth than a third runway at Heathrow"

We call them 'people in boats' & 'illegal migrants'. Terms that describe our ancestors. We've all come to where we are. We don't own this land. We got it from someone who also didn't own it The only way to live on this planet is to share it. The only way to live is together. #GoodMorning, everyone

2024: Nigel Farage tells the people of Clacton that he will fight for them 2025: The TUC interview Clacton voters and point out that Nigel Farage voted against the Employment Rights Bill going through parliament, they were not impressed

When your lack of previous sheepdog experience is cruelly exposed on your first day at work.

Now past 56,000 signatures - thank you everyone!

The heart of the matter is that the maginalized matter. BLACK LIVES MATTER. LBGTQ+ LIVES MATTER. REFUGEE LIVES MATTER. The 99 who stand safely on the ledge chanting “We matter too,” are likely feeling threatened by those who are in real danger.

It's a dark time for trans people. Has it ever not been? Can we please let love win?!

Today in Montréal.

Perfectly captured.

Good for @eddavey.libdems.org.uk, who doesn't have his hands tied behind his back on what he can say about the EU. They've always been pro-EU, as are their supporters. One step at a time, as we have to bring the country with us.
