Reminder of what a shitshow British journalism is.

Coming on top of the bullying of Zelensky, I think Vance's remarks today are going to be a pivotal moment in uniting British public opinion against Trump's US, across party & Brexit divides, & solidifying consensus for UK as a partner with EU for Ukraine. www.thesun.co.uk/news/politic... 1/2

Love it.

JD Vance is currently claiming that his obnoxious comments about France & the UK planning to put 20,000 peacekeeping troops on the ground in Ukraine had, wait for it, nothing to do with France & the UK. Doublespeak, dipshit or both?

I haven’t said much this evening, because I think I don’t need to say much. Hopefully, now people understand what I meant about leaders offering real solidarity, rather than just displaying it on social media like a badge. Nanight

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.

BREAKING: Volodymyr Zelenskyy has arrived at Downing Street for a meeting with Keir Starmer

submitted 11 days ago • 63 comments

UK right wing media DESPERATELY trying to turn the Starmer-Trump meeting into some sort of diplomatic incident over Ukraine/Chagos/Tates/Brexit/Tariffs and Trump giving them ZERO SUGAR, is one of the funniest/most infuriating things I've ever seen. Directly trying to undermine national interest. 👏🏽

It is obvious but worth repeating that regimes built on lies survive only as long as they can suppress truth. The promotion of complicit media (alternative facts) & denigration of objective media (facts) is not just desirable but essential. This process is being turbo-charged in the USA right now.

As our growth report by Frontier Economics showed, the UK and EU pursuing deep beneficls alignment will eliminate entirely the negative impact of tariffs on the UK and reduce them by a third on the EU. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Why are those who are so obviously benefitting from the status quo so angry about it? There has never been a better time to be a rich white guy. These maniacs are sitting on 20, shouting ‘twist.’

Was just disinvited by @bbc5live.bsky.social to a discussion of Brexit 5 years on- on the entirely reasonable/correct grounds that I know what I am talking about and would give an expert, objective view. What they actually wanted was a "hard Remainer" (to balance a know-nothing Brexiteer). FFS.

This press conference on the DC crash is an embarrassment. Just a lot of rambling.

One role of a leader is to be the country's consoler. Reagan with Challenger, Blair with the death of Diana are good examples. Trump today, ain't.

Keir Starmer appealing to people's rationality & respect for the rule of law the morning after Donald Trump appealed to the polar opposites. Feels like a moment.
