Who the fuck does Trump thinks he is telling Ukraine and Europe what they are and arenโ€™t going to do. Tell this bastard to fuck off! Europe stand the fuck up and protect these people! What in the hell
Is wrong with everybody letting these maniacs destroy their country and their people. FUCK TRUMP

New: Boris Johnsonโ€™s โ€˜Brexit Titanic successโ€™ was half right Nearly ten years on, the first full assessment of Brexit confirms what millions warned: Britain made itself poorer

Brexit.

Ten years have passed. Arguments raged. Our economic issues were due to global shocks.

But no, new data shows UK falling behind 33 comparable countries.

We took back control - straight into a self inflicted economic slowdown.

The Murky Plan That Ensures a Future War Who will benefit from the White Houseโ€™s 28-point proposal for Ukraine?

โ€œFor a decade, Russia has been seeking to divide Europe and America, to undermine NATO and weaken the transatlantic alliance. This peace plan, if accepted, will achieve that goal,โ€ @anneapplebaum writes: www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2025/1...

The thing i don't get with the whole Starmer doesn't want to get rid of McSweeny because he relies on him for the politics thing is....has he seen the state of the politics thing? Most unpopular PM since, what, forever, MPs pissed off, leadership talk. Not sure sacking him will do much harm, fgs.

I have a question.

Why is the US suddenly so urgently trying to push a capitulation agreement onto Ukraine? Why such a short deadline, and why is there no pressure on the Russians to follow up on the major success of recent US sanctions?

What do you guys think is going on here?

Nigel Farage skips Commons debate to enjoy lunch at ยฃ68 tandoori lobster restaurant โ€” The Mirror Reform UK leader Nigel Farage skipped a House of Commons immigration debate to have a two-hour lunch at a Michelin guide restaurant in London on Wednesday โ€“ before visiting gun shops

If you can be described as a selfish racist crook you might prefer a posh lunch with a US jailed fraudster than being part of a commons debate on your single political issue. apple.news/Aw0SV0XHjSbi...

I'm sure their lovely Russian contacts will be happy to cough up the cash.

In normal countries, theatre directors put plays on stage.

In abnormal reality in #Georgia right now, the drama is on the streets & theatre directors, here Giorgi Savanelidze, get dragged by police for insisting on citizens' rights.
Clear who the villains are.

Watch Georgian police creep up behind Davit Gunashvili and detain him as he peacefully marches with other protesters. Davit was only recently released from administrative detention.

Last night, police arrested at least 10 people without any legal grounds.

Hail Mary: The intricate but carelessly executed Kremlin subversion operation to recruit the US admin to force Ukraine's negotiated capitulation reeks of desperation.
Ukrainian surrender is a fantasy.
Is Putin approaching the risk of domestic instability or even collapse?

... as was predicted, pretty much. However, these messages, labelled "Project Fear" did not resonant for those open to an alternative narrative. That's the lesson going forward: never give the likes of #Farage and #BJ the space to dominate the story. #Brexit #FuckUp

This week, #ZackPolanski compared a million & a billion seconds to highlight the vast gap between millionaires & billionaires, showing why taxing extreme wealth is essential.

A MILLION seconds would take just over 11 days, whereas a BILLION seconds would take nearly 32 years! ๐Ÿ˜ฎ๐Ÿ˜ฎ

Malik claimed in DM's to me that this was disclosed on the Forest City website, stating "We've been explicit about that from the start. (It's on the website!)". However, no prominent disclosure of the 80-acre founder gift could be found on forestcity.uk at time of publication.

Forest City 1 | Britain's Next Great City Britain needs millions of homes. We have a plan and a team to build them, east of Cambridge, as a beautiful, permanently affordable city.

Q13 โ€” What profit do founders receive?
Shiv Malik โ€” 80 acres of land, gifted to the consortium.
"Albion City Development Corp... gets a gift of 80 acres. That's the reward for risking 200m of private money."
80 acres within a million-person SEZ masterplan = tens of millions in uplift value. Thread

The last few hours have proven 2 terrible things. First, the US and Russian governments are so close that the US government takes large parts of Russian proposals and passes them off as their own, and second that some people are so desperate to exonerate Trump that they act like this a good thing.
