For the US to side with Russia and North Korea to oppose a UN resolution condemning the illegal invasion of Ukraine defies all common sense and adds insult to the countless injuries suffered by the brave Ukrainian people. edition.cnn.com/2025/02/24/p...

SCOOP: The director of data science and engineering for the United States Digital Service—which Elon Musk rebranded as the US DOGE Service—has resigned from her position. “I do not believe that DOGE can continue to deliver the work of USDS, based on their actions so far,” she said.

🔥 Lord Sumption says US is now “very, very” unreliable ally - - and the UK should disentangle from it. Absolutely right.

Unlike with Brexit, Labour don't have years to fix their stance towards Ukraine, the rest of Europe, and towards the USA under Trump's terror rule. They have months at best, weeks if they're lucky, to formulate a firm stance. But events may also overtake them in days. The fence-sitting MUST end.

Europe can’t rely on the strength of the transatlantic relationship to help contain Russia’s threat – it must lead from the front and be the true force of support that Ukraine needs. Not just for Ukraine’s sake, but for a free and sovereign Europe.

The brilliant brains of corporate America somehow failed to notice that an incoherent trade policy would damage US production, not least when allied to restrictions on migration and giving a lunatic free rein over government spending. www.ft.com/content/a7c9...

Vance & Trump are both clearly enemies of Europe. Which is fine. That will only make us stronger and force Europe to become what the world needs it to be. ✊🇪🇺

Musk, Vance & Trump all misrepresent democracy. When they say “democracy”, they mean a free-for-all with no rule of law, where the winner takes all. When Europe says “democracy”, we mean proportional representation, collaborative politics, citizen rights, and agreed guide rails guaranteed by law.

You have to remember that when the populist nationalists say free speech what they mean is just speech they agree with. It is the classic opposite meaning. They hate the free speech of their opponents.

If Ukraine is forced to surrender its sovereign territory to Russia, it will be the greatest betrayal of a European ally since Poland in 1945. The UK must lead in Europe in defence of Ukraine. We cannot stand back and watch as Zelensky is bullied by Trump.

"Trump’s rapid resort to using tariffs against America’s allies is a reminder of the damaging effects of trading barriers. For those who supported Brexit, the UK’s departure was about engaging with the EU in a different way, not cutting off all ties." www.thetimes.com/comment/the-...

As Labour touts more brutal cuts to benefits, how is this different from life under the Tories? Reeves tweaks non-dom tax law because of “concerns” but ignores the cries of disabled, old, sick, poor. Poor are expendable. Wealthy potential donors less so. Govt must change direction.
