Not sure what the issue is with him but in the last few years he has gone from inarticulate to incoherent. Drugs are one possible explanation, or insomnia from stress, or who knows. But he looks and sounds terrible, and it is just impossible not to feel that there is something deeply wrong with him.

President Zelenskyy has been one of the greatest leaders of our time, guiding Ukraine through the darkest period of its recent history, rising up to Russia’s unwarranted aggression, being an inspiration to the Ukrainian people and ensuring that Ukraine’s voice is heard on the world stage.

Sophy Ridge calls out President Trump's lies, "Donald Trump said Ukraine should never have started the war, that is not true, and it should be called out"

Trump has now completely humiliated his apologists in the U.K. but not one of them will be honest enough to admit it.

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is not a dictator. He is a champion of democracy, freedom and truth.

If you feel spending 2.5% or even 3% of the UK’s GDP on defence to be unaffordable, consider the price of falling victim to aggression. This year Ukraine will be committing 26.3% of its economy to the war

As someone who has reported on AI for 7 years and covered China tech as well, I think the biggest lesson to be drawn from DeepSeek is the huge cracks it illustrates with the current dominant paradigm of AI development. A long thread. 1/

In pardoning all of the J6th insurrectionists, with barely a whimper of opposition, Trump has signalled a new age of acquiescence in American politics. He's trying to control not just the present but the past. In effect, he was pardoning himself. New from me. open.substack.com/pub/goodalla...

It's unanimous. A majority of voters in every constituency in England, Scotland and Wales think the government should prioritise trade with the EU over Trump's America or other countries. It's even the most popular view in Clacton. (Sorry Nigel 🙃)

When a single billionaire can accumulate more money in 10 seconds than their employees make in one year, while workers struggle to meet the basic cost of rent and medicine, then yes, every billionaire really is a policy failure. Read our op-ed here ⤵️

As journalists we have to walk a fine line, and sensitive stories often need to pass internal legal reviews before publication. I like how Wired handled this — the headline doesn’t mince words and actually shows you how Musk’s salute is being received by Nazis www.wired.com/story/neo-na...
