Update: Farage now says he said nothing for nearly 24 hours about Trump calling Zelensky a dictator because he was on a plane to Washington DC - modern planes famously having no WiFi, email, ability to make and take calls etc.

Smart front cover of @theneweuropean.bsky.social , @martinnicholls.bsky.social. Nice one! I like the intentional use of orange. 😉 Also reminds me of Editors latest album and singles artwork + Depeche Mode’s “Black Celebration” album art.
