Shocking & shameful from Trump. Is there not a single journalist in the White House with the courage to step up and point out Zelenskyy is the democratically elected leader of a sovereign country who is bravely standing against the illegal invasion of Ukraine by a murderous dictator?

Lots of snow this afternoon leaving slippy roads and pavements. Gritting teams across Cumberland have been working round the clock to ensure main roads are kept open. Take care if you have to go out.
