National Security Adviser Michael Waltz tries to use trickledown economics "grow the pie" arguments for why Ukraine should hand over $500 billion worth of natural resources to the US. Cringe, desperate and insulting to the intelligence of Ukrainians.

I have three reviews to go for the Obs but today, after 180 of them, is my last column for OFM. So I thought I’d summarise my searing advice from the last 15 years: the wisdom, the provocations and the occasional stupidities. Enjoy. Or grind your teeth.

📈 Average UK private rents increased by 8.7% over the last 12 months. 🚨 The sector is out of control and contributing to widening inequality and homelessness. 💚 The Green Party would introduce rent controls to stop the exploitation of private renters by landlords.

BREAKING: Keir Starmer has spoken to President Zelenskyy and backed him after Trump’s attacks. “The PM expressed his support for Zelenskyy as Ukraine’s democratically elected leader and said that it was perfectly reasonable to suspend elections during war time as the UK did during World War II."

Calling Zelensky a “Dictator” must be where the line is drawn. It is my sincere hope that the whole political spectrum in the United Kingdom will speak with one voice in opposition to Trump’s lies.

I love how Trump, Vance and Musk style themselves defenders of free speech, while simultaneously banning government agencies from mentioning climate change or diversity (inc biodiversity!), equity and inclusion, or even possessing maps which show the Gulf of Mexico. Torquemadas the lot of them.

Frederick Douglass spent nine months in Scotland in 1846 raising awareness of U.S. slavery in a series of anti-slavery lectures. At the time, the country was “ablaze with anti-slavery excitement” due to the activities of the Free Church of Scotland, which had accepted £3,000 from US slave owners.
