'Servant of the people:' a humble man elected as president, with a mandate to drive out corruption in his nation; a fiction that became reality. On the week when this mission moved onto the world stage, it's well worth a watch.

A superbly responsive episode as always .

@martinrowson.bsky.social Have I missed the #DrawJDVance Martin?

The origin story behind yesterday began in 2019 when Zelensky refused Trump’s illegal demand that he investigate Joe Biden.

We at @bylines.scot yesterday felt sick, furious and all other feelings you can imagine with the behaviour of the White House towards an elected President enduring war for so long! Last night we have registered a UK Parliament and Government petition👇. When it’s approved we will let you know!

If @kemibadenochmp.bsky.social can't remember why "the UK is not ready" for this changing world and why our defence is threadbare, I put together a useful reminder. ~AA

Bookmark this! A succinct summary of Trump’s first month , as it should have been reported by US and UK media👇🏽

I won’t rest until the BBC get to the bottom of perceived transgression by Reeves or Strarmer Trump dumping EU military support, plans to take over Gaza, Greenland etc are nothing.. Oh my God but Reeves pocket money as a kid..

A bit of good news: NHS England hospital waiting list falls for 4th month in row. The lowest figures since April 2023. Considering the “quademic” and winter months, this is an achievement for both the NHS and Labour government. So it’ll obviously be all over the news, right?
