Jeez. Did Trump really just say President Zelensky started the war with Russia?

Zelenskyy is the democratically elected leader of a sovereign country who is bravely standing against the illegal invasion of Ukraine by a murderous dictator called Vladimir Putin

FACTS MATTER

Not only is beneficial alignment the right thing to do, for growth. It is also the most popular option with voters.

"41% say the UK should be more closely aligned with the EU. 20% say less closely aligned."

I wrote something like this thread on Byline after the Southport riots. I've updated it here, cos I think (not sure, but think) it might have something important to say about our current crisis with social media, news reporting, and disinformation. Sorry it's long. (1/42)

Lord Woodley’s Bill to end the cruel & monumental injustice of the #IPPscandal has passed its 2nd Reading.

Will Prime Minister Keir Starmer now do the right thing & give the Bill government time for a full & proper Committee Stage?

Let’s end this injustice now

For some, Brexit has always been a race to the bottom on standards.

This wouldn’t be the first time the Tories have attempted to break this international agreement which *they* negotiated and signed.

BBC’s Chris Mason calls Farage a “master of storytelling”
Maybe the BBC could stop helping him out and tell another story.One about a grifting prejudiced conman who’s wrecked our country with his ‘Breaking Point’ Brexit but has never been held to account for the lies he’s told, the damage he’s done.

A question only asked of those trying to save our planet, not millionaire landowners trying to hoard wealth.

Farmers received record support in the budget. Pay what is still less than your fair share, take your tractors and piss off.

Tim Stanley, in what now appears to be a weekly slot on one or other BBC flagship politics programme, reels off a huge amount of absolute, provable nonsense about immigration.

And he does so completely unchallenged. Enough now. ~AA

I see that a collection of MPs have taken it upon themselves to “launch” a private prosecution, in relation to a case which is still awaiting a CPS charging decision.
