US threatens to shut off Starlink if Ukraine doesn’t sign minerals deal. Starlink is essential for Ukraine’s battlefield comms. This is the equivalent of FDR threatening to arm the Nazis if Europe didn’t sign over half its resources. Extortion. And utterly unforgivable. Hell awaits.

This is who Republicans just made FBI Director. Kash Patel calls for “offensive operations” to jail Americans who they consider “the enemy.” “We will go out and find the conspirators... Yes, we are going to come after the people in the media”

This is a poor headline from the BBC. The US aren't offering a "deal" - they want the minerals in return for support already given. It's straight up extortion.

Grateful to Jade for speaking to @liverpoolecho.co.uk and showing that despite what successive Government say, families are split because of the spouse visa rules. Children shouldn't be separated from one of their parent as a result of the rules. www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/news/liverpo...

Blumenthal: "What world is he living in? It is not only contrary to the facts and the truth but utterly despicable. A disgusting betrayal of a country that has bled and fought and died for freedom ... the president's surrender is pathetic and weak."

The US version of the Apprentice first aired in the UK, on the BBC, over 20 years ago. The gut feeling I had about Trump back then, as a fraudulent, mendacious, capricious , thin-skinned, bullying, mysoigynistic and lecherous braggart has proven to be absolutely true. I can't have been alone.

Trump blames Ukraine for starting the war the way a rapist blames his victim for looking too sexy.

That took less time than I thought to be honest. The policy fundamentally undermines the very principles of the Refugee Convention. It's an immoral and inhumane policy which the courts should also find to be illegal. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

"Trump's a Cunt" Everyone in the whole World should say that, at least once every day. Like coming out the house & clapping or, banging pan lids for the NHS during the pandemic. There should be community "Trump's a Cunt" shout-outs. By order of The People ? Stick your Executive Order up yr arse

Friends, May we never forget that while negotiations,statements, addresses and the rest of the (undoubtedly important) diplomacy track are happening,exhausted #Ukrainian men &women in military uniform are holding back evil on the frontlines. Without them,there would be no diplomacy track at all.

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...
