Zelenskyy says he would ‘quit for peace’ as he refuses US demand for Ukraine minerals. 3Years after Russia/Putin’s 10day take over of Ukraine Zelenskyy is not being a very good ‘dictator’. Now that we know more about Putin AND Musk/Trump, are they prepared to stand down for peace?

Israel is deploying tanks in the West Bank — and people ask us why we’re still marching?

Isn't delivering Russia's agenda Reform and Nigel Farage's raison d'être? And would anyone really be surprised at them getting paid to do it? www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

In my latest newsletter I try and take a break from miserable posts to share something Wales is doing really well. willhaywardwales.substack.com/p/something-...

⚡️Australia, New Zealand impose new sanctions against Russia. Australia has introduced the most extensive package of sanctions since the beginning of the all-out war, while New Zealand imposed restrictions on over 50 individuals and entities.

Elon, I hate to break it to you but you aren’t my boss. I answer to the people of Minnesota. But since you bring it up, I spent last week fighting to stop tax breaks for billionaires like you, paid for by defunding health care for moms and babies

"117,000 homes were listed for short-term or holiday lets across London last year." We really need to tax this practice out of existence. thenegotiator.co.uk/news/rental-...

One of my best friends is from a sleepy, wealthy small town in the south-west of Germany. He said, so many of my parents’ neighbours are rich and bored, with little to complain about, and they’ve radicalised themselves at dinner parties and online. In their aimlessness, they’ve bonded over hate.

Successful second homes crackdown means homes are £30k cheaper for Cymry, who actually need them.

Remarkable assessment by an incoming German chancellor. “for me it is an absolute priority to strengthen Europe as quickly as possible, so that we achieve independence from the US, step by step.” www.dw.com/en/german-el...

"If you are not at the table, you are on the menu." I'm often impressed by the quality of the FT's reporting & the clarity of its analysis, and this clear-eyed editorial on what Trump's "predatory vision" means for the world is 🎯. www.ft.com/content/1511...

Can Moldova – population 2.4m – show the world how to stand up to Putin? Don’t think that the U.K. is immune to Russian interference. Moscow wants to show that it can use all measures short of outright invasion to keep nations it sees in its “zone of influence” chronically destabilised. 1/2

⚡️EU preparing military aid package for Kyiv worth $20.9 billion, Bloomberg reports. The additional military support would supply Kyiv with air defense systems, artillery ammunition, long-range missiles, and drones.

People who oppose D.E.I. do not know D.E.I.

I bet their genius plan is to have AI evaluate every employee's response to decide if they're worth keeping. And this clown was just talking about empathy a few hours ago.

DISGUSTING harassment by the Genocide committing Israel who are terrorising Palestinian people! Israel the occupier on illegal land that belongs to Palestinians! I always find it hard to swallow that the OPPRESSED in WW2 have become the OPPRESSOR now & are NO BETTER than the German regime of then.

I’ve demanded that Sky stops buying ads and funding hate on GB News. Join me and @GoodLawProject now to increase the pressure: goodlaw.social/c9g8

How about an election in Russia?

Trump blames Ukraine over war with Russia, saying it could have made a deal. No surprises from the Musk/Trump presidency. Starmer still wants to be best butties 🤦‍♂️. What the hell were Americans expecting 🤷🏻‍♂️. But then, ‘Brits’ 🤢 voted for Brexit 🤷🏻‍♂️🤦‍♂️.

Poor countries or exploited countries raped of their resources by the empires? www.instagram.com/reel/DF6uEFD...

UK rushes forward plans for £2.5bn steel investment after Trump announces tariffs. Once again, for U.K. see England. Westminster government turned its back on quality steel production in Cymru. How quickly they are now waking up to the real world. Too late!

Meanwhile, so much for “free speech” over at The Bad Place.

Ultimately no one stands up to dictators because we live under Capitalism and their money is the only thing that is important. Which is what they have been told every second of every day of their life. What a great system...

Fall in overseas students fuels threat to English universities despite rise in fees. ⁦‪#CardiffUniversity‬⁩ cuts are headline news but financial pressures are a dis-U.K. crisis. #Brexit, the restrictions and the hatred that it has unleashed is a big factor.

A 3rd runway would be no more than mist on Welsh windows. Calling investment in England a benefit for Wales is yet more austerity for Wales. It’s part of a stance that Wales can only thrive if it’s deeply connected with England, essentially being an English region. bylines.cymru/politics-and...

Ukraine war: Macron warns against ‘capitulation’ as Trump suggests Russia may not make concessions. 80 years ago Russia and the U.S. (then with the U.K.) carved up Europe (and elsewhere). They can not be allowed to do it again.

JD Vance, vice president of a regime currently overthrowing its own democracy, lectures Europe on the "retreat" from "some of its most fundamental values". He cites the Romanian Constitutional Court annulling its recent presidential election. He doesn't mention this was because Russia interfered.
