Black smoke signifies that no pope has been chosen, white smoke shows that a new pontiff has been elected and a mix of yellow and blue smoke indicates that Leeds have been promoted #lufc

And you know somewhere in Uruguay an Argentinian has just nodded and thought “Bueno”.

The pope dies. It’s a year since I lost my mum and Leeds promoted to the Premier League.

Intense day.

Perhaps the right version of Liberation Day is one where the rest of the world is truly liberated from men who pose as leaders but instead lack any ounce of emotional intelligence to make decisions that truly serve others and not their egos.

Still time to turn it around. But. And we can’t rely on blunts and Burnley playing each other.

Poor game and worryingly our form has dipped the last two games. But - still top of the league. GD gives us an extra point and Sheff United and Burnley still need to play each other.

Senior Conservative MP says UK must consider possibility ‘Trump is a Russian asset’ - Politics.co.uk A senior Conservative MP has said it is time to consider the “possibility” that the US president is a Kremlin asset.  Graham Stuart, a former Foreign Office minister, issued the comment in response to...

Extraordinary comment from Tory MP Graham Stuart this morning:

“We have to consider the possibility that president Trump is a Russian asset.

“If so, Trump’s acquisition is the crowning achievement of Putin’s FSB career — and Europe is on its own.”

Trump complains an awful lot about being called a Russian asset, despite acting repeatedly like a Russian asset

A member of Russia’s state-owned news agency gained access to the Oval Office for President Trump’s sit-down with Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky – even as the AP and Reuters were barred from the high-level meeting.

Donald Trump is embarrassing the United States on the world stage. We are a country that stands up to dictators and fights for democracy.

Minnesota stands firmly with our allies in Ukraine.

Zelenskyy leaves White House summit after Trump claims he's 'not ready for peace' It’s just days since Trump called Zelenskyy a “dictator without elections”.

Trump & Vance are disgraceful #putinpuppets- what a stain on the United States this day & their behaviour is.Zelensky came to save his people & his country not just from Putin but from those 2 as well

The Birth of the Trump Doctrine Lies in the 1987 Recruitment of Donald Trump By the KGB During His Trip to Moscow That Year How Trump responded to his recruitment remains unclear. What is clear, however, is that it shaped his entrance into politics and his foreign policy in a way the world now ignores at its peril.

This is one of the most shameful days in U.S. history. A weak, corrupt, deceitful, compromised Kremlinist U.S. president recruited his Yarvinist VP to gang up on a heroic ally on live TV. It devolved into a shouting match.

Why? This report explains _exactly_ why:

Zelenskyy’s dignified statement, a giant among weasels: “Thank you America, thank you for your support, thank you for this visit. Thank you POTUS, Congress, and the American people.
Ukraine needs just and lasting peace, and we are working exactly for that.”

28.02.2025 19:40 — 👍 1110    🔁 205    💬 30    📌 6

This is thuggery from Trump and Vance, plain and simple.

They are bullying the brave true patriot Zelensky into accepting a deal which effectively hands victory to Russia. Unless the UK and Europe step up, we are facing a betrayal of Ukraine.

I reckon there’s that and there’s more too. Trump and Vance lack emotional intelligence..
