Hi from Kyiv. It’s 1:17 am and I lying in the dark and listening to loud explosions that continue in Kyiv . Russia is attacking us with drone and missiles. Some of explosions are especially loud - windows and walls are shaking.

Russian planes have reportedly taken off, heading to bomb Ukraine.

Another night of horror lies ahead. Please keep us in your thoughts.

Finally, the lights are back on. Seven hours without electricity — and it got really cold at home, because our heating doesn’t work when there’s no power.

During a recent russian-caused blackout in #Kyiv, Flamenco dancers kept on dancing

Even amidst war and energy terror life goes on.

It’s often hard to get your MP to understand specific GP problems and influence decisions

Take for example Ilford North where GP to patient ratios are some of the worst in the country and aren’t improving

2661 patients/GP up 510 since 2018
🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 2257 patients/GP

If only the local MP had any influence

My young Ukrainian and daughter returned to Ukraine, against my better judgement, I keep in touch and help where I can.
I have told them to come back if they want or need to so they have that.

Here is Nathan Gill in 2014 blaming the EU for Russia advancing on Ukraine

Nathan Gill pled guilty to accepting bribes from Russia to promote a pro Russia anti EU position

He started in UKIP, joined the Brexit Party, then Reform UK

Here's what he said at the European Parliament

And here’s Nathan Gill touting the pro Russia messages … now convicted of accepting bribes for doing so

Was that the deal You can come on Reform Vine show, chaired by Tory Rinder if you can endure Widdecombe for 2 hrs.
That there is leadership quality to do that

Yesterday in the Cotswolds we told JD Vance to get lost

On September 17th in London we will come together to tell Donald Trump the same thing

Spot @everyonehateselon.bsky.social’s Vance meme van 😭😭😭

Privatisation broke our water system.

@labourslewis.bsky.social has a people-first, evidence-based alternative, and I’m backing it.

Make it make sense

N95 masks are PPE.

They’re designed to protect the wearer from covid, airborne viruses, wildfire smoke & more.

They’re a public health tool.

Gaitors & bandanas are face coverings worn by ICE goons who want to conceal their identity because they’re kidnapping people

They’re not the same.

Why is Iran a Regime and Israel a State?

Not a single Tory coward bothered to turn up for the Covid debate - 240,000 dead and they still can’t drag their rotten arses into the chamber. #ukpolitics

Wasn't sure if this person is on this platform, but the news is worth delivering

Of course he has

🗣️ We should be realistic about those who brought war to Europe. Russia cannot be persuaded to peace by persuasion. But there are forms of pressure that can harm those who are behind this, — Zelensky.

I ask you to support a serious strengthening of sanctions against Russia.

Today, in year 4 of Russia’s full-scale war, our military has recorded over one million Russian casualties — killed and wounded. That’s the price Putin is willing to pay for his sick geopolitical fantasies. And still, he refuses to end this war.

It turns out reports of a 'millionaire exodus' from the UK last year were completely unfounded.

This is troubling but not surprising. I’ve lost many friends because I’ve dared to continue wearing a mask and speak the truth about how dangerous COVID is.

Being abandoned and ghosted like this is a very common occurrence for COVID-safe people. It hurts, but as they say, it’s information.

Why are so many children getting long COVID? A study by Researching COVID to Enhance Recovery (RECOVER) last year found that up to 5.8 million American children now have long COVID.

Because there’s no end in sight to repeated COVID infections and no one takes it seriously due to continual government & media disinformation? It’s not rocket science (although no one pays attention to the actual science). 🫠

BREAKING: Gov. Newsom is asking for a restraining order on Trump/Hegseth's use of the military in Los Angeles, saying they are preparing to go on immigration raids with ICE.

He wants a ruling within two hours. "They must be stopped immediately."

Newspaper headline: Nigel Farage speech: Reform leader's turn to promise the earth He presented a hazy vision of policies then challenged the prime minister to join him in watching an extinct horse-racing TV show

Nigel Farage has been making some big populist promises.

But behind the soundbites lies not only a financial black hole, but tells us a lot about the future he sees for Britain:

Let’s take a closer look

If you don’t think Reform are being directly aided and abetted by the British press, then ask yourself this: why has a question asked by a Reform MP at PMQs, about banning the burka, been front and centre in discussions on the BBC, LBC and Sky News for over a week?
