History will remember how the U.S. chose to wreck its economy, isolate itself from allies, and lose global standing—all because a few cowardly Republican senators refused to convict Trump after January 6.

British troops have fought and died alongside the Americans in Afghanistan and Iraq, just to be written off as non-existent people from "some random country". We have to maintain tolerable relations with this administration to try and minimise damage, but my god it's not easy.

Trump blames Ukraine for Russia invasion: ‘These are the Kremlin’s talking points’ In a press conference from his Mar-a-Lago home, Donald Trump has said Ukraine is to blame for Russia’s invasion, and that it shouldn’t be represented at peace talks with Vladimir Putin.

"There will come a moment where the West has to say to Donald Trump, sorry, you're just spouting what Putin thinks, and we can't allow this to happen."

But when will that be?

Trump is a thug, a bully and a gangster. This is what statesmanship looks like: doing what's necessary to protect your country's interests, but keeping open the hand of friendship and hoping for a day when the US will return to its senses.

You won’t see a better quality debate in parliament than this. Assisted dying bringing out the intelligent, respectful side of politics that we could probably do with a lot more of.
