Holy shit

Ukraine's SBU security service now says it has attacked the Kerch bridge in occupied Crimea in a months-long operation. It says SBU agents "mined the supports" of the bridge with 1,100kg of TNT under the water line and detonated it this morning.

Kemi Badenoch & Nigel Farage oppose Starmer’s EU deal not because it’s bad for Britain, but because it exposes their lies.

Their outrage is about protecting those lies, not the country. Britain’s ready to move on to real world, they’re still stuck in a fantasy.

God the tabloids and Brexit dinosaurs were boring today… 🦖

Braying the same “betrayal” lines they’ve brayed since they got what they wanted… then found they had no benefits in it whatsoever.

Still they came out today to play victim yet again.

But the world has moved on.

There's no placating the Brexiters, no reasoning with them, no basic comprehension or adulthood. You can't debate papers behaving like the Sun or the Mail this morning. There's nothing to debate with. They view all trading relations with Europe as humiliation.

Farage is allowed to make the UK sound like a yacht he can steer with one finger

Starmer makes the country feel like a rusty tanker he’s inherited, that’s headed for the rocks, and he can’t turn around

Parallel realties. Shows why comms are crucial and how the right benefit from friendly media.

A gruesome image titled "An Ordinary Day in Europe." Heavy air traffic over Western Europe and countless missiles, drones, and "shahids" over Ukraine...

This is the price for the "quiet life in the Europe," which Ukrainians pay every day, making their own sacrifices.
