In 1939 Hitler, as a pretext to invade, lied Poland had attacked Germany.

Putin lies, & Trump repeats, that Ukraine started the war with Russia. In 2014 Russia invaded Ukraine & annexed Crimea, & again in Feb 2022 claiming further annexations.

These are the same.

Churchill postponed elections while the UK was at war with Nazi Germany.
President Zelensky has postponed elections while Ukraine is at war with Russia. Both are the same.

Trump says not holding elections while at war makes them both dictators. What a reprehensible, odious man.

The absolute state of the US and the last few weeks only exemplifies how the UK's most valued relationship isn't the US but the EU and wider Europe.

The UK can try to act as a bridge but when push comes to shove, its Europe that shares our interests not the US.

Trump's America?

Weak. Weak. Weak.

How embarrassing it only took a few weeks for Trump to turn the US into a cowardly Putin-appeasing puppet state.

If Trump decides to hit the UK with tariffs, I really hope Keir Starmer is ready for his 'Hugh Grant in Love Actually' moment

A moment to rally and unify the nation in the face of a friend turned bully; Labour surge; nation proud and standing tall.

Canada's Trudeau knew it 👌

The Green party’s time is now, but it needs to stop being polite – and start picking some fights | Owen Jones You only need look at its dire social media presence to see where this party, so full of potential, is going wrong, says Guardian columnist Owen Jones

It’s very funny to me that people who leave the Labour Party whether from the left or the right will invariably define everything they do again in relation to the Labour Party including trying to replicate some of its most toxic internal dynamics wherever they go

“We should have got on to him early on”

Ian Hislop’s takedown of Elon Musk is a thing of beauty 👏

"The windmills are driving the whales crazy"....obviously.

Utterly unhinged that man.

The Tories left 7.5 million people on waiting lists. This Labour Government will cut NHS wait times from 18 months to 18 weeks.

Today’s announcements deliver:

🏥 An extra half a million appointments a year

🩺 Diagnostic Centres open 12hrs a day, 7 days a week

🧑‍⚕️17 new and expanded surgical hubs

Excellent watching @jadeazim.bsky.social on GB News explaining why we shouldn't take instructions from the world's richest man on when to call an election. Frightening that there are those opposed to that view.

There are more than 10m children in school in the UK…but, per Times, 3,000 might move to state sector because of VAT rise…so Whitehall is “braced” 😲😲😲

Says a lot about UK media bubble, the way this story is reported.

You pay VAT on luxuries. Private schooling is that.

Spain to enshrine gay marriage and abortion rights into its constitution so 'they cannot be undone in the future' - Olive Press News Spain PRIME Minister Pedro Sanchez today vowed to add abortion rights and gay marriage to Spain's constitution so they 'can never be undone'. The left-wing PSOE

BREAKING: Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez today vowed to add abortion rights and gay marriage to Spain’s constitution so they “can never be undone.”

Absolutely this. Any time I briefly go to check Twitter, it re-enforces just how deranged and warped the platform has become. Utterly unusable without making you unhinged yourself

Reading about the ongoing fighting in Syria and advances by opposition, and realise I know little about the Syria Rebels and their make up. Anyone know good sources to get up to speed?

These past few months have demonstrated that there is almost no measure the media and wealthiest in society would object to, unless it happens to fall on the poorest shoulders and not theirs.

Cut benefits? Pensioners will sing from the rafters. But if it's theirs? All hell unleashed 🙄

Reeves/Labour framing themselves as Thatcher in this moment is savvy, & a good move when defending tough choices against the endless protestations.

"The medicine is harsh, but the patient requires it in order to live..we did not seek election & win in order to manage the decline of a great nation"

Tackling the epidemic of violence against women and girls is critical, and will require a huge cultural shift in our society.

Men: it’s not on women to solve this problem. We need to take a stand. To do the work. And to hold ourselves and each other accountable. #WhiteRibbonDay

Sigh - classic fact free nonsense. ‘news’ story here totally fails to mention that Tory plans were for fines of £5k (later reduced to £3k) for each missed heat pump sale. What @Ed_Miliband has done is to reduce that to £500. Headline should read “Miliband slashes Tory boiler tax”

Sometimes I wonder why we haven't bothered to domesticate Racoons as pets. Maybe it was tried and there was an obvious downside.. but based on the two tiktoks I've seen today they look like they'd be great.

Same goes for squirrels. Why stop at hamsters and rats... Squirrels infinitely better.

The average house price in London is now almost 14 times the typical household income.

Let’s be real: it’s not Netflix subscriptions and flat whites that are holding Londoners back from buying their first home, it’s surging house prices in our city. 🧵

Incredibly sad news this morning to hear John Prescott has passed away. What a titan. Such a loss

Too many! "Nobody wants this", "3 Body Problem", "The Diplomat" "Agatha All Along" "Masters of the Air"

Also "Rings of Power" is significantly better in season 2, and the latest season of "The Boys" 👌

How the Taliban are erasing Afghanistan’s women – photo essay The journalist Mélissa Cornet and the photographer Kiana Hayeri met more than 100 Afghan girls and women in seven provinces, and found resistance and defiance but also despair

"1159 days since Taliban banned girls from school.

699 days since Taliban banned women from university.

Each day is a countdown to a generation lost in Afghanistan. Your silence is complicity"

Oh these two, there's literally no contest. South Asian cuisine is clearly miles ahead.

Your mistake is including Italian in the first place tbh. Turkish/middle eastern cuisine would be in that contest for me.. but then, biased 😅

Incredible news for Ukraine!

Blimey! @bsky.app has just passed 18 million users! It’s now adding a million users a day👏

First impressions, this looks good. Unlike threads, it's got the function and feel that people always wanted from Twitter that set it apart from other social media. This could work..
