Why are so few people talking about this? Either they don’t know, or they’re pretending not to know …and I don’t know which is worse.

If you’re outraged by Trump & Vance and want to *do* something… Join European Movement UK. The UK needs to get back to being a full member state asap - as Europe needs to unite hard.

Dear Starmer, please take note and find some bloody backbone. Appeasing Trump or thinking you can be some kind of bridge assumes he has a level of cooperation, reflection and decency the man just doesn’t possess! Get a grip and show Zelensky some support.

Ukraine is Europe! We stand by Ukraine. We will step up our support to Ukraine so that they can continue to fight back the agressor. Today, it became clear that the free world needs a new leader. It’s up to us, Europeans, to take this challenge.

Dear Prime Minister: in light of Trump’s disgraceful bullying of Zelensky today, can you please, please, please cancel the State Visit? A boor like Trump does NOT deserve to be honored by the British state.

Withdraw the state visit invitation to Trump. Offer one to Zelensky instead. With bells and fucking whistles.

It's been obvious since January 6 that he was an enemy of the USA, the UK & the whole of the free world. Everybody still in his camp understands this as completely as everybody against it. They just prioritise personal interest over the national & international. And they know it. They all know it.

NEWS! Keir Starmer seen awkwardly crawling between arguing Trump and Zelensky after leaving phone on Oval Office table

Just posted by President Zelenskyy

Everyone knew things would get bad in the US but not just how bad how quickly. Beggars belief.

He is not just appeasing Putin, he is aligned with him. And every single client journalist, political shill & public/online cheerleader on both sides of the Atlantic is too. Against Zelensky. Against Ukraine. Against freedom. Against the most basic tenets of decency.

I think this is the closest many of us have ever got to seeing the real Trump. The only consistent thread in his entire unhinged rant was the love & praise for Vladimir Putin. Zelensky has more courage & dignity in his little finger than every member of Trump's regime & fan club combined.

This is PATHETIC! Labour taking nationalisation off the table before it even STARTS its review of Water sector. Tell them we’re having none of it👇💪💪

Mr. Boo says goodnight. And, please keep the noise down.

I am finding the toadying to him NAUSEATING. Absolutely disgusting he’s getting a 2nd state visit. Get your placards ready.

Elon Musk spends weeks gloating about firing 1000s of federal employees and now starts asking retirees to return to the federal government. A toxic boss, abusive partner & fucking idiot all in one.

A reminder that this is the same administration that was last week lecturing the UK about "free speech"

Thrips. There I've said it.

A Tributum was a tax imposed on Roman citizens to fund the costs of war. The Tributum was set at a higher rate if you were rich - a wealth tax imposed on assets, land, property and moveable goods. Not cuts to the poor. We have learned nothing in 2000 years. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Cut to aid spending to increase defence budget. Shock and uproar. Justifiably so. But, why is it necessary? Because the obscenely rich profit from supporting oligarchs and dictators. The rest can just sod off.

Dear BBC So much coverage of EX Labour MP Mike Amesbury yet so little mention of this....anyone would think your executive board was biased....🤔 news.sky.com/story/ex-ref...

Love this ❤️

Macron corrects Trump after he claims "Europe is loaning the money to Ukraine. They get their money back."

Every defence and security system we have is entangled with the US. Even GPS is wholly owned by the US Space Force. Our intelligence is automatically shared with the US, whose bases here are allowed to spy on our own citizens. So if the US is now an enemy power, the enemy is already here.

Naive and delusional. Also, mortifying, to be so clearly trying to suck up. Lead, Starmer. Lead! Have some self-respect. Trump will trample all over you, anyway.

Absolutely @eddavey.libdems.org.uk

Read this twice. The world we know is shifting beneath our feet.

If you're a federal employee over in the US, and you're trying to get Elon to ignore you, just make sure you include in today's email that you're one of his kids.

Labour are heading to India when they should be heading to Brussels. It's not difficult: pile up every other trade deal in the world, and it won't even come close to compensating for the damage done by Brexit. But they remain cowards. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/f...
