Fear of being sent to a notorious El Salvador prison, where inmates never see the light of day, plays into that goal, said @rodabouharb.bsky.social, an associate professor of international relations who researches forced disappearances at the University College London.

Under Putin, there will never be a real Ukraine peace-deal — The i Paper The answer is simple for Europe: don’t stop supporting Ukraine in practical and political terms

This is an indication of the kind of political consensus that can be built if Labour makes the right case for breaking its red lines: Uniting right wing concerns about defence & patriotism, left-wing demands for investment & independence from the US, and widely-shared commitments to Ukraine.

This is Winston Churchill visiting the White House during World War II.

Funny how he isn’t wearing a suit either. Almost like he was a wartime leader defending his country from being slaughtered and wiped out by an authoritarian aggressor.

Generations of American patriots, from our revolution onward, have fought for the principles Zelenskyy is risking his life to defend. But today, Donald Trump and JD Vance attacked Zelenskyy and pressured him to surrender the freedom of his people to the KGB war criminal who invaded Ukraine.

Andrew Tate and His Brother Are Said to Leave Romania for the U.S. Andrew and Tristan Tate, the online influencers, are facing investigations in Romania and Britain, including accusations of human trafficking and sex crimes.

You can’t make this stuff up. Trump supporters spent the past few years obsessing over an apparent sex trafficking cabal in charge of our country. And yet one of the first things Trump seems to have done, apparently, is push to get the Tates, charged with sex trafficking, released from Romania.

What kind of sick world are we living? These guys are wanted in the UK, about to stand trial in Romania and are now partying in Florida? Does anyone seriously believe they will ever face justice? Andrew Tate and brother Tristan leave Romania on private jet to US - The Times and The Sunday Times
