youtu.be/pvT3aQjLxdE Here's a 🎶 twist on Coldplay's thumping #VivaLaVida we're calling "Puppets on a Kremlin String?" It reflects on the grotesque media spectacle hosted by #Trump & #Vance yesterday at the White House. In solidarity with Zelensky & Ukraine. #SlavaUkraini #Dontabandonthem

This is Winston Churchill visiting the White House during World War II. Funny how he isn’t wearing a suit either. Almost like he was a wartime leader defending his country from being slaughtered and wiped out by an authoritarian aggressor.

The Prime Minister rightly said that the urgent need to increase defence spending is a ‘generational challenge’. It requires a generational response. Raiding the aid budget does not meet that standard. My letter to @thetimes.com today

Your dignity honors the bravery of the Ukrainian people. Be strong, be brave, be fearless. You are never alone, dear President Zelenskyy. We will continue working with you for a just and lasting peace.

So we can't pay the young son of a Hamas minister to narrate a BBC documentary But we can put the son of a KGB agent in the House of Lords, paying him to make our laws 🤷‍♂️

After we let Russia occupy part of your country and steal your resources, we will occupy the other part and do the same. Quite the starting point for the Americans.

It would be funny if it wasn't so alarming watching serious mainstream news outlets attempting to report on the Trump regime's pronouncements and actions. I suspect at some point, even BBC news is going to start using the phrase "total ignorant bollocks". www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

You have to remember that when the populist nationalists say free speech what they mean is just speech they agree with. It is the classic opposite meaning. They hate the free speech of their opponents.

I’m delighted to be able to report that Mahmoud and Ahmad have been released. House detention requirement will still apply but, thank God, the worst should be over. Ahmad’s uncle, Murad is in both photos and Mahmoud’s wife, Mai features too. A distressed family reunited. But the injustice remains.
