If Ukraine is forced to surrender its sovereign territory to Russia, it will be the greatest betrayal of a European ally since Poland in 1945.
The UK must lead in Europe in defence of Ukraine. We cannot stand back and watch as Zelensky is bullied by Trump.

In 1970 the UK and Norway were roughly equal, almost no debt, and owned all their Public Services.
Now the UK owns nothing and has £3tn of debt.
While Norway still owns everything and has the equivilant per person of £10tn.
That's how privatisation 'works'.

Boil it down. Trump saw the tragic deaths of 67 people as a good opportunity to attack the intelligence of (let's be honest here) people of colour. He had no interest in whether there was the slightest evidential foundation.

The accidental salute…
Musk comes from a family that moved to South Africa *for* the racism. He has repeatedly endorsed Great Replacement Theory in the US & Neo-Nazis of the AfD in Germany. He championed the rights of white nationalists and restored Nazi accounts to Twitter.
But I'm sure the Nazi salute was an accident.

UK Govt spinning yarns.
Whilst denying pension compensation to 1950s women, the Minister said the new State Pension will rise by more than £470 a year from April.
What she didn't say was that only 26% of pensioners will get full amount, others less.

Even if we live to be 100 years old, our entire lifetime is just a blink of an eye compared to Earth's 4.5 billion years of existence. Why waste our precious time on negativity and hating our fellow travellers who share this brief journey with us? Let's find joy instead.

💥 UK tap water is at risk because water companies soon won't have any chemicals to clean it with.
💥 That's because rules brought in by Brexiters mean we can only use such chemicals if they've been tested in the UK.
💥 But unlike in the EU, we don't have any certified labs able to test them!

Always a great joy to see a dictator fall. Syrians have suffered enough. The task now is to ensure they do not suffer more, as the Iraqis and the Libyans did after the fall of their dictators. To that end, foreign powers, Western and non-Western, must also be kept at bay.
