Absolute stand-out logic here from Farage: Ukraine should be able to hold an election in wartime because Britain held one between VE and VJ Days. Yes, if the nearest frontline to Ukraine in the Russo-Ukraine War was 5,000 miles away, I’d probably expect them to hold elections on schedule too.

An alternative to Pres Trump’s Ukraine strategy: insist that Ukraine joins NATO and Russia stays out in the cold, until Putin agrees to pull back from some conquered territory and promises never to invade Ukraine again. Have Trump & Hegseth given up their best cards already?

BREAKING: France, Germany, Poland, Italy, Spain & UK sign a joint statement vowing to protect Ukraine’s sovereignty & demanding a role in the peace talks. This is leadership. It’s also unprecedented. A western alliance is having to form against a new, twin & united threat: Trump & Putin.

From childhood I have wanted things to be fair, and this situation clearly isn't. Greedy @thameswater took our money for certain tasks, then reneged on their responsibilities. They are a corrupt company that does not deserve any more chances. #PublicOwnership now!

At the heart of Canadian national memory is the awareness that Canadians twice came to the UK's aid in world wars years before the Americans showed up. It will not be forgottem if the Brits now hide in a corner and say nothing when Canada faces existential threats.
