"I don’t think any of us can presume to know what the position of the White House will be six days from now, let alone six months from now. By contrast – what is certain is that the EU will remain the UK’s largest trading partner." @andrewlewinmp.bsky.social 👏

One of the most shocking things I have read for a while: t.co/lg46ijHLDF

I don't really care what the "political consequences" are of fighting for the proposition that *everyone* is entitled to due process before they are removed from the United States and sent to a Salvadoran prison. It's not really a principle if you only adhere to it when it's politically expedient.

Boris Johnson has used his Daily Mail platform to slag off “Adolescence” and compare Starmer to Pol Pot. This is a politician, a paper and a headline that sum up the debasement of our politics and the toxic level of ‘debate’ it encourages. Grotesque that he gets airtime to insult us all like this.

A level of corruption beyond our wildest imaginings a few years back. This image could easily have been in Idiocracy and no-one would have batted an eyelid.

People in the USA & beyond are being punished, fired, defunded, deported, disciplined & silenced by Trump’s administration for their opinions & beliefs. In unprecedented numbers. I thought the ‘anti-woke’ warriors really hated this stuff? They all seem to have disappeared…

Terrific reporting by @nytimes.com. Shame the British media can’t expose this for themselves. Will only fuel suspicion that Farage and his Brexit gang are - and have always been - a Putinist front

BREAKING: People are being suspended on X in Turkey for posting videos of these protests against Erdoğan’s corrupt and repressive regime. Keep sharing everywhere.

Are you smarter than a 5th grader

We expected 2,000 people out in GOP-held Greeley, Colorado. 11,000 people showed up. Something special is happening, folks. Now is the time to organize in every dimension possible and get to work.

I'd really like to see the UK commentators and politicians who sucked up to Musk and Trump quizzed about this. It is a moral abomination.

The absolute state of this A foul collection of renowned dickheads gaming how to win, who to kick out, who to make PM Is the country that tragically stupid? No Should Labour join in their ugliness to “neutralise the threat”? No Let’s get this toxic bullshit in the bin and do better as a country.

Don't watch the stock market is the Don't test for covid of 2025.

Brexit costs £42bn a year and nobody wants it. Why don't we get rid of that?

Starlinks for Ukraine are paid for by the Polish Digitization Ministry at the cost of about $50 million per year. The ethics of threatening the victim of aggression apart, if SpaceX proves to be an unreliable provider we will be forced to look for other suppliers.

Reform giving us some much needed light relief. 5 nasty little grifters, cobbled together with prejudice and plastic patriotism, are at each other’s throats because Lowe’s ego (boosted by Musk on X) has clashed with Farage’s. If you think these numbnuts could run the country, you’re off your head.

We, we??

America will never recover from the shame it has brought upon itself this week.

With Lowe’s whip withdrawn, the proportion of Reform MPs jailed for viciously assaulting a woman now stands at 25%.

Western Australia premier calls US vice-president JD Vance a ‘knob’

The US was only able to make the atom bomb in WW2 because of all the refugee scientists who had fled the Nazis. There is a real opportunity here for some quick-thinking countries to offer refuge to some extraordinary talent.

Remember when the British Brexit MEPs turned their backs on Europe. They admired Putin and Russia. This is now The Reform Party.

Starmer literally having Zelenskyy’s back today while trying to build bridges. Somehow a huge relief to watch Starmer doing this so incredibly well.

Another mad element of that press conference is that Trump & Vance were ordering Zelensky to thank them personally for aid that Joe Biden had provided. All while insulting Biden & ignoring Zelensky’s frequent previous expressions of gratitude.

Looking forward to the @washingtonpost.com’s hot take on the Trump-Zelenskyy debacle. It’s all about personal liberties and free markets, remember?

Also revealing was Vance’s answer, that he didn’t need to go to Ukraine because he had seen a lot of videos. Permanently online, like a slightly upscale Kemi Badenoch

I stand with Ukraine.

Where is Starmer's statement of support for Zelenskyy. No excuses. No equivocation.

The Ukrainian government has a list of places where you can donate to the war effort here. I personally just donated $100: war.ukraine.ua/donate/ Slava Ukraini.

A truly astounding exchange. The Zelensky/Trump meeting descends into an out and out slanging match. Perhaps the most remarkable thing we’ve ever seen recorded in the Oval Office.

GBNews: "Are you Nigel Farage in disguise?" Starmer: "Nigel Farage didn't even turn up to the debate in Parliament. Nigel Farage is fawning over Putin. That's not patriotism." An inane question getting precicely the treatment it deserves. ~AA
