My dad pictured spent his 28th birthday at one of the most brutal battles of WWII, Monte Cassino. Before he died he eventually told me of the trauma of that battle & a 19 year old dying in his arms. This is what happens when you don’t confront fascism @ukparliament.parliament.uk

And the response of @teamlabouruk.bsky.social government to Farage’s hateful rhetoric… Labour sympathisers can justify this all they like but it is patently enabling hate speech and demonstrates Starmer et al’s lack of moral courage.

It was entirely predictable what the outcome of this meeting in Alaska would bring; Trump and Putin are in cahoots. What is nauseating is Starmer’s obsequious and about turn. He’s not alone, liberal leaders in Europe have acquiesced to this crook’s behaviour. Shivers looking for a spine!
