President Zelenskyy began his Munich visit at Quantum Frontline Industries β€” first Ukrainian-German serial drone production facility in Europe.

AI-powered drones (UKR tech) are already frontline-tested.
10,000 units expected this year.

Germany’s Defense Minister Boris Pistorius joined the visit.

They aren't peace talks, they are Russia/America planning sessions, trying to find a way to make Ukraine surrender!

For all the talk about Starmer potentially moving leftwards, it’s always useful to remember just how far the Overton Window in British politics has shifted to the right.

Yes. Also note: Farage introduced Glasman to Bannon. This crosses party lines, which is possibly why they're all afraid to touch it.

First Past the Post can no longer deliver real mandates - only chaos. 60% of Brits want it scrapped.

Yet the Representation of the People Bill won’t even touch our voting system, which leaves millions unrepresented.

Being part of a demographic that has regular dealings with the NHS this confirms many anecdotes.
Treatments are often a short time, frequently days, after a diagnosis.
Labour should be shouting such good news from the rooftops.

NHS deal with AI firm Palantir called into question after officials’ concerns revealed Exclusive: in 2025 briefing to Wes Streeting, officials warned reputation of tech firm behind US ICE operations would hinder rollout of data system in UK

The fact Wes Streeting was warned by his own officials that the toxicity of Palantir made the contract less likely to succeed raises, yet again, the question why Government granted it the contract in the first place?

What a stupid timeline where we can be bombed and killed in our own homes for no reason, yet are forbidden from paying public tribute to slain athletes. This is not neutrality, this is silencing the victim.

CNN headline that says Trump delivers a deadly blow to EPA’s ability to regulate climate pollution

CNN headline that says Trump delivers a deadly blow to EPA’s ability to regulate climate pollution

The president is overruling science to eliminate measures that protect us from pollution and environmental damage, mainly to benefit multinational corporations that have thrown money at his campaign, ballroom, and family.

It's simple corruption, and it will cost American lives and livelihoods.

EU leaders agree to move ahead with β€˜Buy European’ policy Ursula von der Leyen promises action plan to boost and protect sectors including defence, AI and clean tech

The world has changed.

The Brexiter vision of the UK as a buccaneering free-trade nation has foundered on the reality of 21st century great power geopolitics.

Europe did not seek this ruptured world, but it must confront it.

It's time to rejoin the EU!

WATCH: Trump, EPA's Zeldin announce end of scientific basis for U.S. action on climate change The Trump administration on Thursday revoked a scientific finding that long has been the central basis for U.S. action to regulate greenhouse gas emissions and fight climate change, the most aggressiv...

Today, the Trump administration repealed the endangerment finding: the ruling that served as the basis for limits on tailpipe emissions and power plant rules. Without it, we’ll be less safe, less healthy and less able to fight climate changeβ€”all so the fossil fuel industry can make even more money.
