Le Monde, "French MPs vote through the left's wealth tax on the ultra-rich" Your reminder that a 2% wealth tax on those with £10 million, affecting 0.04% of the UK population, would raise £24 billion a year You have to wonder why Labour chose not to do this..

He nails it.

Now is the time for every decent Englishman and Englishwoman to choose their sides. Align themselves with Reform, Trump, Musk and Putin’s fascist thugs. Or take a stand and support sovereignty, freedom and democracy with Europe, Canada and the free world. Slava Ukraini

“Far from being dismissed as a useful idiot to hostile foreign powers, the British press continues to allow Farage to portray himself as a true British patriot, while he spends as much time as he possibly can outside of this country telling lies about us for money” open.substack.com/pub/adambien...

America will have to live with the shame of what's happening here for years. www.wsj.com/world/europe...

“The Ukrainian president was elected in free elections in Ukraine..he is an elected president of a free system. That's not the case with Vladimir Putin, who kills his opponents and has been manipulating his elections for a long time” Emmanuel Macron President of France 👏

Before the Prime Minister heads to Washington he must wake up to the fact that the UK's real allies may now lie elsewhere, argues UK diplomat Alexandra Hall Hall

It turns out that empowering the richest human being on the planet to maliciously and gratuitously heap additional misery on that planet’s most poor, hungry and desperate people might just pose a niggling political problem to President Donald Trump newrepublic.com/article/1915...

The notion that Ukraine should have held elections when a large chunk of its population were under enemy control and it has troops at the front line… …is so farcical that I’m surprised Russia had the balls to push it. That Trump didn’t comprehend the simple dynamics of it… less so. 💁🏻‍♂️

🚨🚨Today, in Helsinki, Finland, Executive VP Henna Virkkunen presented the Joint Communication of @ec.europa.eu and EU High Representative @kajakallas.bsky.social to strengthen the security and resilience of submarine cables. 🧵 ec.europa.eu/commission/p...

Lie after lie has been told this week about how the Ukraine war started, from the Kremlin and the White House. This @newsagents.bsky.social video essay explains the truth, and spells out why Trump clings so close to Putin and lives in his warped reality youtu.be/cufMoDE5ABQ?...

We all need to call these lies out, to share the facts and the truth, because facts and truth matter - without them we are all lost. If you know anyone who actually believes the boll**** Trump and Musk have been spouting this week ask them to spend five minutes watching this

“Britain must choose between an unstable alliance with Trump or aligning with a resilient, unified Europe”

Congratulations @vicderbyshire.bsky.social and so well deserved. You’ve delivered masterclass after masterclass in how to hold politicians and those in power to account. You are one of the finest journalists we have in this country 👏

More on the new Coalition of Nations coming together to stand against the Trump security crisis.

Having failed to exclude Zelenskyy, they sought to bully him. Having failed to bully him, they sought to bribe him. Having failed to bribe him, they sought to discredit him. Maybe they will get round him one way or another, but you can see how frustrated they are at him holding on.

President Zelenskyy is the democratically elected leader of a sovereign country who is bravely standing against the illegal invasion of Ukraine by a murderous ACTUAL dictator called Vladimir Putin

Excellent short read 👇🏻

I walk alongside the Wandle most days. The improvements made to its water quality have been apparent, even to non-experts like me. I'm not sure how you 'mistakenly' pollute like this.

US National Security Adviser says Ukraine President "need to tone it down and take a hard look and sign that deal," What he means is - hand some of your country to Russia, 50% of your mineral wealth to Trump, starve your people. Gangster politics is no basis for lasting peace.

Currently enjoying an extended break with friends & family in Australia… will be ‘quiet’ on here until April 👌🏻

#Germany Foreign Minister Baerbock calls out #Trump lie that #Ukraine “started” the fighting with #Russia: "No one but Putin started or wanted this war in the heart of Europe" “We are working with all our strength to further strengthen Ukraine" #TrumpRussia

I would like to see a few British broadcasters read out every word of Trump’s latest ‘statement’ live on air & then remind us of their often lavish statements of support for him & then share some of their supportive words for Ukraine. And then we can all watch their brains explode…

Dear god. Just seen what Fanta Fuhrer has said about Zelensky. I hate him with the power of a thousand suns. America is now the propaganda wing of the Kremlin.

Follow the money.....

Denmark has just set up a 50bn kroner defence fund because of fear of large scale war.

We need to change the way of things. The world is in such a precarious state, we have to declare our allegiance to what is right, not to what is traditionally expected of us. We need to immediately realign ourselves to our European neighbours & call out the vile, tawdry dealings of Trumps America.

I hate that I was right about #Amerexit

“The conference, which is a gathering of influential intellectuals shaping global rightwing thinking, has a distinctly anti-environmental, socially conservative theme” “Intellectuals” is *not* the word for these menaces who represent nothing but failure and harm. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

UK Prime Minister Starmer: I am ready to deploy British troops in #Ukraine as part of peacekeeping force "We are facing a once-in-a-generation moment for the collective security of our continent. This is not only a question about the future of Ukraine – it is existential for Europe as a whole"

Why the hell are pple still posting on Twitter? They wouldn't buy a Tesla, & I imagine they wouldn't dream of posting on Truth Social yet persist in using a fash platform which has no moderation whatsoever. Every user adds credibility to Musk & X. Stop worrying about yr effing follower numbers ffs!

President Zelensky, during a closed-door meeting on Wednesday, rejected an offer by the Trump administration to relinquish half of the country’s mineral resources in exchange for U.S. support, according to people with knowledge of the talks www.nytimes.com/2025/02/15/w...

Trump’s talks with Putin threaten Ukraine’s freedom and Europe’s security. If the US won’t lead, the UK must. The Government must act now – let’s pass an emergency law to seize Russian assets by Monday.

Thames Water is effectively saying that unless they get a 35% price hike, they'll keep dumping shit in rivers. In plain English, that's blackmail.

The measles outbreak in Texas is reminding me of the public letter Roald Dahl wrote about losing his daughter to measles in 1962, just before the vaccine was publicly available.

Portuguese editorial cartoonist Zez Vaz reaches back to Tiananmen Square to call on American defiance.

Excellent piece, I found it in my inbox this morning - subscription is very easy 👍🏻

Has she considered lifting the economic sanctions we placed ourselves under in order to get blue passports? www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

This is the way.

Donald Trump’s betrayal of Ukraine has emboldened Vladimir Putin and pulled the rug from under Nato allies www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Been thinking about this speech a lot lately. One for all those happy to burn the rule of law because it's their side doing it this time. youtu.be/PDBiLT3LASk?...
