“The US military would disobey an unlawful order” don’t count on it.

In his speech after becoming Canadian prime minister, Mark Carney vows to fight President Trump’s tariffs and threats to make Canada the 51st U.S state.

Donald Trump sparked outrage with his shocking display of bullying at the Oval office meeting with Ukraine’s President Zelensky. Now, over 150,000 of us are calling to cancel his second UK state visit - will you join the backlash too? you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/no...

Suggest you have his gonads off at the same time.

Democrats, If you can’t muster the nerve to pick up a mic and state we have a Russian asset in the White House (as many of our allies have boldly done), then what the hell are you even doing? Psst, eating your own & “bipartisan” crap aren’t the answer. (🎁 article) www.nytimes.com/2025/03/06/u...

Oh no. You abysmal fools. You couldn't get any further from what the BBC is supposed to be.

Zelensky has not refused to negotiate. He has refused to surrender to a murderous dictator who has illegally invaded his country youtu.be/HpmDquOkSCY?...

Johnson claims Trump’s attempt at extortion from Ukraine gives Ukraine its sovereignty and is a price Ukraine should pay. The US abstains in a UN vote backing Ukraine’s sovereignty. And voted against another resolution condemning Russian aggression. What a repulsive sellout. What total betrayal.

Wouldn't it be weird if Canada joined the EU before the UK?

Volodymyr Zelensky shared this picture of Western leaders standing for Ukraine last night in Kyiv. It pretty much illustrates the darkness of this world and who stands against it, and it is both extremely moving and oppressing to see so much darkness. This is not just about Ukraine.

The 5th point would read factually better if changed to “United States provides about as much direct aid to Ukraine as Europe”.

Trump’s numbers on US & European aid to Ukraine are completely fabricated — Europe has given more to Ukraine and the US hasn’t reached anywhere near $350 billion.

Just seen Farage and Truss (grifting over in the US) described as "the Slug and Lettuce".

Ronnie Jackson has read the situation through a pair of very heavy rose tinted glasses - look again clown!

Sounds like a great idea…….bet it’ll never happen!

Yes I do!

The delay of so many local elections is a disgraceful stitch-up between Labour and the Conservatives. Where elections are still happening, the Liberal Democrats will campaign hard to build on last year’s historic election wins and give communities the strong voice they deserve.

The British Jewish organisation @yachad.bsky.social has organised an open letter from British Jews and Israelis urging Starmer's government to take a "firm stance against [Trump's] dangerous plans" for Gaza secure.yachad.org.uk/page/165571/...

Sadly not unexpected from a nation of bullfighters. Sadder still that they haven’t grasped the importance of wolves in the food chain and apex predator pecking order.

We can't let British democracy turn into a plaything for overseas billionaires with short attention spans. At PMQs, I urged the Prime Minister to work with us to make sure power always sits with the voters, not wealthy foreign oligarchs.

It is completely unacceptable for a senior official in the incoming Trump administration to threaten to overthrow the result of our democratic elections. The place to resolve disagreements with our government is in our country, in our Parliament.

The announcement of a ceasefire is, at last, a moment of hope after many months of darkness and despair for the region.

Today, I questioned the Prime Minister on the NHS crisis and the urgent need to fix social care. I was once again deeply disappointed by his refusal to act this year. But I’ll keep pushing because unless we fix social care, we'll never be able to fix the NHS.

Let’s not kid ourselves. Donald Trump is a threat to peace and prosperity around the world. The UK will not be able to depend on the US to be a reliable partner on security, defence or the economy. How do we deal with Donald Trump? We need to do it from a position of strength.

from @David__Osland The Peter Bone case is another reminder that since 2019, there have been more Tory MPs suspended for sexual misconduct than voters convicted of ID fraud.

Councils are being given new powers to allow them to buy vacant and derelict land in compulsory purchases in order to build new homes. Prices paid will be based on the current value, not the future 'hope value' that the land might have once it's built on, meaning councils can buy the land for less.

Good

Thames Water is collapsing. NO BAILOUTS for the shareholders and banks who caused this mess. Tell the government to take it into public ownership PERMANENTLY and protect the public interest. #WeOwnIt weownit.org.uk/act-now/brin...

Switzerland seeks to ban Nazi symbols amid surge in antisemitism

Yay. Kwasi ‘Economy Torcher’ Kwarteng advises Kemi ‘No gaffes’ Badenoch on how to win. She must ‘exude a calm competence’, defeat Reform and appeal to moderates. Hahaha! She’s entirely incapable of doing any of that. Only a wildly clueless Tory wouldn’t see that. liveapp.inews.co.uk/category/kwa...

Remember all the outraged coverage about a handful of climate protesters slowing ambulances a few years back? Well it turns out that wealthy farmers doing exactly the same thing on a much bigger scale is absolutely fine bylinetimes.com/2024/12/12/t...

Support our call for an inquiry on our future relationship with Europe. "Tinkering around the edges of hard Brexit will not deliver for the British people. We need bold, clear, and informed action."

Good to see @theneweuropean.bsky.social naming Gisèle Pélicot as Person of the Year 2024 - take note, Time magazine!

@carolvorderman.bsky.social I think that Bebe Netanyahu should be arrested and strip searched in the interests of finding the world’s nastiest a***hole. The hunt must be brought to a conclusion asap.
