‘Every single thing he says is lies.’ @mrjamesob.bsky.social says Trump’s comments on Zelenskyy are ‘without precedent in the free world’.

Ukranian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy says Donald Trump 'lives in a place of disinformation' He’s right

Well, Trump’s back playing world leader with all the finesse of a bull in a china shop, while Putin smirks and Ukraine burns. It’s not ‘diplomacy’, it’s a global pissing contest with dangerously high stakes and uncontrollable egos.

A Trump shill on Newsnight claims there are more people in prison in UK jails for freedom of speech violations than in Putin’s Russia. These people are radicalised, insane, plain stupid or some combination of all three.

Here's the executive order just signed by Trump. One of the defining features of fascism is that the discretionary power of the leader always prevails over the rule of law.

Europe really needs to think about what it will do if Trump lines up with Putin - tries to give him east Ukraine & then get a mining deal with Putin in east Ukraine. We should be thinking about trade sanctions, X ban, UK pull out of 5 Eyes - encouraging Canada to do same, etc.

The great stitch-up begins in Riyadh today, as the US government seeks to hand eastern Ukraine, bound and gagged, to Putin. This, as Trump knows and wants, will encourage Putin to threaten and destabilise the rest of Europe. Nothing about Ukraine without Ukraine.

I repeat: we need to turn our backs on the USA, for the next four years at least. Under Trump, the USA is no friend or ally of Europe or the UK. Indeed, in sidelining Europe and Ukraine in "peace talks", who the hell do they think they are??? Peace talks? 'Piece by piece talks' more like...

Question Time last night was pretty fierce. And had to be. There's a deliberate effort now to shift the ground: towards appeasement, inhumanity and authoritarianism. Once more, we must resist it. We must fight hard for kindness. www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m...

Imagine you were the richest man in the world. You could have anything you wanted, go anywhere you wished, do whatever took you fancy. How would you spend your weekend? Depriving the poorest people in the world of food and healthcare and boasting about it?

1. We cannot now rule out the possibility of systemic collapse in the United States. If Trump and Musk paralyse the federal government, this could trigger social, financial and industrial failures. Neither Trump nor his team know how to respond to such failures, which could snowball and converge. 🧵
