Christ above. These pitiful fucking cowards.
No10 spokesman not prepared to criticise anything about Farage speech today.
Not his description of "invasion", not his prediction that the UK on brink of civil war, not plans to pay the Taliban or Iran to take back migrants, or indeed to rule out doing so themselves.

NEW: Elon Musk’s X has suspended accounts of Turkish opposition groups, suppressing footage of anti-government protests.
So, best we share all the footage we can here!
This was last night’s massive demo against Erdogan’s government, which follows the arrest of his rival Ekrem İmamoğlu.

The premise of American foreign policy to Ukraine, today, is one of grievance. It is worth patiently considering the proposals. They reveal little about Ukraine, but much about America in February 2025.

We need to recognise the systemic change and the extent of the response needed. Much more serious than the pandemic and fiscal 'rules' inappropriate for such a time.
Choices are:
- a pause for Russia to recover economically and rearm, US security guarantees in Europe weakened, more war
- large expansion of democratic Europe's military power, Ukraine's economy strengthened and its army resupplied
