The great @timothysnyder.bsky.social explains why this new Trump-backed Ukraine plan sells out Ukraine, Europe, and democracies across the world. Take a few minutes and watch.

It is hard to put into words how much damage Trump is doing to our own country, how unfit and malevolent he is.
We have a US administration trying to bully Ukrainians into accepting Russia’s proposal that their sovereignty be undone. Aside from the naked injustice of this, there are five basic practical reasons why it would make the world far more dangerous.

Ukraine is on the brink of an historic betrayal by Trump to Putin.

Keir Starmer must bring our European allies together to back Zelensky, starting by seizing frozen Russian assets to support Ukraine.

Incredible that the main interview following up on Hallett's report is with Michael Gove, following an earlier one with Carl Hennigan

These people were responsible for the tragedy and in no way reflect the findings of the report or what we, as citizens, think about how our government performed

Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged.

Voters were so profoundly moved by his words... that they gave his opponents a supermajority in Congress, and the nation got the Fourteenth Amendment.

“Things Happen—“
says Donald Trump, suggesting that Jamal Khashoggi had it coming because “ ..a lot of people didn’t like him..”

Jamal Khashoggi was a courageous reporter who was investigating Saudi Arabia.

Things didn’t happen. He was MURDERED.

We will not forget
Jamal Khashoggi

There’s plenty to criticise about the BBC — but it’s our BBC, and when Trump attacks it, we should defend it.

The BBC World Service supports democracy activists worldwide. I Let's look into the motives of those attacking the BBC.

The Trump administration has announced that the US will rewrite past climate reports, in a clear attempt to erase scientific history and undermine the consensus on human-caused climate change.

I keep expecting some breaking news about Trump being impeached or something. The way they jumped on Clinton for lying about a blowjob and then silent about this.

Boris Johnson says the idea that criticism of the BBC is being organised by the right is ‘complete and utter bollocks’, which makes me think there might be something in it.

There's lots you can and should criticise the BBC for.

But it's our BBC - and it's important.

Great to speak to CNN - Donald Trump shouldn't have his hands anywhere near our public services.
Zack Polanski on President Trump, "It's difficult to call him anything other than a fool"

"This is sociopathic behaviour"

"He is toxic, misogynistic, racist"

"I'm not a fan of Trump"
