Donald Trump expects Ukrainians to be ‘grateful’ as he prepares a carve-up of the country with Putin.

We can’t let that happen - Starmer must work with our European allies to stop this stitch-up in its tracks.

Trump’s special envoy Witkoff put his hand over his heart when Putin walked in the room. Like he’s reunited with a loved one. That really tells you all you need to know.

Can anyone explain why Farage gets wall-to-wall news coverage for announcing policies that he may or may not do in four years time, but when his long-term colleague & Brexit partner is jailed for spouting EXACTLY the same pro-Kremlin propaganda as him....

How about this: Ask Trump to name 3 specific things in his “peace proposal” that he demanded Ukraine accept by Thursday.

There are 28, so 3 should be easy.

It really shouldn’t be necessary to keep repeating this, but sadly it is.

Interesting - I had this on a list of possible things I’d like for Christmas.. definitely do want to get it now 🤔

Turns out the media & most of Parliament is as out of touch with reality as Twitter. Dear England.

What a shit show. Everyone could see this plan was written by the Kremlin. Adopted by Witkoff and Trump who demanded Ukraine accept it by this Thursday. After a firestorm of objections by Europe and Republican senators it appears Rubio wants to distance himself from it.

23,000 people died because Boris Johnson was too busy walking a dog, riding a motorbike and hosting guests as he took four days off at Chevening, instead of addressing warning signs of the pandemic

Why isn't Boris Johnson in jail?

“Broken systems create broken results and what we need is a fundamental change,” said John Russell, a Liberal Democrat peer who was a prominent campaigner for the cleanup of Hoad’s Wood. “I don’t want us to become like Italy where some kind of mafia is controlling all of this.

Richard Tice told The Times in March he had “never met Nathan Gill”

Only in Trump’s dreams 🤔

Good grief, the late 90’s were not great for music. So far only George Michael was worth listening to 🤨 #TOTP #BBC4

An investigation into Russian interference in our politics is long overdue. And we all know who should be questioned first.

Ukraine is on the brink of an historic betrayal by Trump to Putin.

Keir Starmer must bring our European allies together to back Zelensky, starting by seizing frozen Russian assets to support Ukraine.

This this this & all day long this 👇👇

We need a full investigation into Russian interference in our politics.

Lib Dem leader Ed Davey and Green Party leader Zack Polanski now both have positive net favourabilty ratings among 2024 Labour voters, whilst Keir Starmer has negative ratings.

💚 Polanski: +24 net favourable

🔶 Davey: +17

🔴 Starmer: -10

Boris Fucking Johnson. Useless, lazy, selfish, greedy, sack of shite who should never have been anywhere near power, let alone No 10. I hated Thatcher with every bone in my body, but Johnson eclipsed even that.

Tomorrow we hear the sentencing of Nathan Gill, Nigel Farage's close colleague for decades. Leader of Reform UK in Wales and MEP alongside Richard Tice, Dr David Bull, Paul Nuttalls, Martin Daubney and Alex Phillips. All of them have remained quiet on him.

All of them have explaining to do.

From one carer of a SEND child to another - thank you Ed 👏👏

I do think British people need to understand that this is why Musk’s money is aiming at the UK now. The BBC and the NHS are trusted English-language sources that people in the US can access so the people who favour this disinformation would like to destroy them.

Every cloud…. 🤓

Marjorie Taylor Greene has been disliked by the left for years and years and had never had to fear for her life. She's been disliked by the right for 1 day and now has to hire security.

You may not be able to afford rent and groceries, and your health insurance may be about to skyrocket in 42 days, but the good news is that the Saudis got F-35s, nuclear tech, and security guarantees after putting hundreds of millions in Trump’s pocket.

This post was liked by one @markhamillofficial.bsky.social. It was a pretty quick write. I can only imagine one of my better articles might have Alec Guinness returning as a Force Ghost for a repost...

Heat-pump homes put less strain on grid than expected, study shows Analysis of new-builds in Birmingham suggests all-electric homes not only use less energy but vary in peak usage

Generally, the social-housing occupants expressed delight at the quality of the properties compared with their previous dwellings. “They were really, really happy to be in those homes,” said Mateo-Garcia. “They said: ‘Oh, we haven’t seen any damp and mould.’”
