This is Volodymyr Zelensky, President of Ukraine. He is Jewish. His grandfather fought Nazis in WW2. Many of his relatives were killed in the Holocaust. He is standing up to a dictator. Because he is brave. Because he knows what happens if you don't.

I'm not having Fraser Nelson playing dumb on the rise of racism on the right after years spent printing Murray, Liddle, Taki and Shriver. I literally had a DM row with him years ago where I said this would happen.

‘The truth’ was her declaring that all LGBT+ people want to sexually assault children, something never once mentioned in this glowing profile and a belief that the tribunal directly refused to take prima facie as the common meaning of what she said, considering it mere hyperbole

If Trump and his gang aren't bound by the law nor the constitution, why are you? Currently the system of checks and balances is being destroyed at a speed that would have launched most countries into riots or open revolt. This is a constitutional crisis and your constitution isn't doing so well.

Calling Zelensky a “Dictator” must be where the line is drawn. It is my sincere hope that the whole political spectrum in the United Kingdom will speak with one voice in opposition to Trump’s lies.

Ukraine has $26 TRILLION of mineral wealth. As the map shows, it's concentrated in the East & most of it is now under Russian control. This is why Trump wants a peace deal: instead of losing money by 'sending' aid, he wants American companies to extract wealth and enjoy Russia's spoils of war.

An excellent question. Where are the Fortune 500 & Wall Street CEOs? Where are the university presidents? Where are the civil society leaders? Not just speaking out specifically in defense of their institutions & democracy, but also about 🇺🇸's global interests? The silence is deafening & shameful.
