‘Every single thing he says is lies.’

@mrjamesob.bsky.social says Trump’s comments on Zelenskyy are ‘without precedent in the free world’.

Well done @keirstarmer.bsky.social for supporting Ukraine. Notice the complete silence from Boris Johnson. All that bollocks supporting Ukraine - true to form a complete liar.

Trump just blamed Ukraine outright for Russia’s invasion. ‘You shoulda never started it,’ he said. What a lie, a Russian lie—from the President of the US.

Trump calls Zelensky “a dictator without elections” having lauded Putin, a man who hasn’t had a free or fair election in years and who has prevented elections in Ukraine because he invaded.

As well as the blatant lies told by Trump, it is galling that a bone-spur draft-dodger lectures a man who has set himself against a powerful invader and not flinched.

And so what many of us knew becomes evidently clear. Trump is simply a puppet of Putin. Putin pulls the strings and Trump dances. God help us.

Just because the majority voted for Brexit does not mean it was the right decision - as is clearly evident. To continue to go along thinking things will be fine is just delusional. Anyway, enjoy your deluded utopia🤔

I know you don't care. I do and will continue to state the bleeding obvious whether you or the other 73% like it or not. Get it?

Unfortunately this is the logic of Brexit voters. Leaving the EU has been a disaster for the UK. Everyone with a brain can see this and will remain the case whilst we stay out. Voting for Reform is voting for more idiocy.

Beautiful walk in my local area yesterday just north of Leeds.

What Elon Musk fails to recognise is that most sensible people think he is a cunt.

@rthonwesstreeting.bsky.social So much for a government promoting growth. Yesterday's announcement on the Hospital Rebuild Programme kicked the future of our NHS into the next decade. Where's the ambition, where is the solution. Answer in 2035. It's rubbish and you know it.

If you have not yet listened to Iechyd Da by Bill Ryder-Jones, highly recommend. It's a bloody marvellous album #music #albums

Had a little walk after the snow fall at the weekend in Leeds. Had the privilege of this swan flying towards me and striking a pose.

In Greenland, as we speak.

Having played The Cure's new album a few times, I’m happy to endorse this as a great piece of work 👏👏👏
