Watching the Jenrick Press Conference:

Really hoping a journalist asks him in the manner of Mrs Merton:

"What was it about losing the Tory leadership contest that helped you realise that the Tories had broken Britain?"

US will no longer commemorate World Aids Day, reports say State department has told employees and grant recipients to not publicly promote or make event on 1 December

Trump’s Government will not mark World AIDS Day.
Considering the cuts he has made to global AIDS funding have already resulted in an additional 100,000 AIDS deaths this is not a huge surprise.

Maybe Keir should demand the heads of major US news networks any time they imply Britain is on the brink of civil war or that we live under sharia law. Or does it not work both ways?

Relaxing in the sun with Sammy! #dogsofbluesky

Wonderful #IconStrings at #actorschurch Covent Garden this evening performing musicals by candlelight.

Here's a 🎶 twist on Coldplay's thumping #VivaLaVida we're calling "Puppets on a Kremlin String?"

It reflects on the grotesque media spectacle hosted by #Trump & #Vance yesterday at the White House. In solidarity with Zelensky & Ukraine.

Trump whining that Democrats wouldn't applaud him even if he cured a disease and then a second later bragging about withdrawing from the World Health Organization

Over lunch we were talking about how the last five or so Prime Ministers might have handled this. We need someone acute, principled and a bit dull, and that's what we've got. It could have been so much worse.

Former Trump National Security Advisor John Bolton tells me on @lbc that Boris Johnson "is putting lipstick with a pig" here- "He [Trump] doesn't have a grand strategy."

UN resolution on Ukraine

Ukraine resolution at the UN called Russia an aggressor and demands the full withdrawal of Russian forces from Ukraine’s internationally recognized borders.

The United States, Israel, and Russia voted against it.

Every free democratic country around the globe voted in favour. #EndImpunity

I’d love to see him up against Mick Lynch, union leader who was also a Brexiteer!

President Macron, "The Ukrainian president was elected in free elections in Ukraine"

"That's not the case with Vladimir Putin, who kills his opponents and has been manipulating his elections for a long time"

Stephen Fry, "I'm deeply worried about the darkening shadow that's going over the world, the shadow of fascism"

Laura Kuenssberg, "You would use that word?"

Stephen Fry, "Absolutely. It's a cult of power. And power only speaks to power"

Stephen Fry, "Trump is a convicted felon"

"We have to come to a conclusion that the left and right in Britain have far more in common with each other than they do with Trump and the tyrants in the world"

For those who still believe Russian propaganda: #Zelensky had already offered Putin negotiations

On February 25, 2022—just one day after #Russia launched its full-scale invasion—Zelensky publicly called on Putin to negotiate, hoping to stop the bloodshed.

The response? Silence.

An important point to keep in mind.

Joint statement from the Nordic-Baltic leaders Nordic-Baltic leaders’ statement (Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Iceland, Latvia, Lithuania, Norway, Sweden, 14 February 2025).

Nordic-Baltic leaders’ statement on Ukraine (Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Iceland, Latvia, Lithuania, Norway, and Sweden.)

"We stand fully and firmly behind Ukraine."
"Our priority now is to strengthen Ukraine."
"We fully commit to the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine."

Fact check: nearly 70 percent of US money for Ukraine actually went to US defense industry to replenish the stocks of OLD stuff that went to Ukraine to use.

Much of which we would have paid to destroy as their lifespan expired.

Mike Pence just reposted an old article he wrote about the limitations on the powers of a president. For some reason. Here is a part of it.

😂😂😱

This one kills all toys. We have a toy graveyard in the garage! The rope toys come out the other end too!

Jewish people say NO to ethnic cleansing

Proud to be one of the 350 rabbis signing this statement — an ad in the NYT today and a declaration of our values.

Doge is auditing NASA today.

This is absurd. The owner of Space X should not be auditing NASA.

It’s a massive conflict of interest.

The Room Next Door - Donald Trump Plane Crash Fact Check

Just finished reading @peterbeinart.bsky.social new book. I feel like buying 50 copies and just handing them out for free at my synagogue. It’s such an important contribution to how Jewish life and self-understanding needs to change. I can’t recommend it more highly.

Hoping this is the place to organise the resistance.

‘No Other Land’ on Amazon Prime in the UK. It’s a heartbreaking, fury invoking and essential watch. Let’s hope it wins the Oscar.
