If Trump sells out Ukraine, Britain must lead a coalition of the willing to defend our continent without him.

Trump alone in a room with Putin is a recipe for disaster – just look to their last meeting The two plan to meet behind closed doors Friday in Alaska to discuss β€˜land swapping’. What will happen this time?

Yes it will be a disaster. Putin will sign fan boy Trumps autograph book and Trump will sign away a chunk of Europe.

Netanyahu has no intention of ending this conflict. All nations MUST sanction the leaders, stop all arms sales, coordinate aid drops and recognise Palestine before there is nothing left.

Israel has lost all credibility and must be stopped

No way. The last thing we need is having part of our energy infrastructure been another man-child Musk plaything that he can switch on and off on a wim.

I would say that trump talks like a four year old, but that would be quite an insult to four year olds.

Trump must be desperate for a distraction from something...

Thing is, he's started so many bin fires, it's hard to figure out which one he's trying to steer attention away from at any one time. Epstein, maybe?

This plan will not make the Palestinian people or the hostages any safer and it certainly will not move anything closer to a two-state solution.

The PM must step up pressure on Netanyahu

What an utter absurdity our Home Secretary has created -

Destroying British free speech, right to protest and with it undermining democracy.

It is not for the government to terrorise the public for political opinions they don’t want to hear.
