“Hard Brexit was xenophobic, economically illiterate and narrow-minded.

An apology from the Brexit lobby is too much to hope for. Silence might be a relief.

An appalling mistake was made. It awaits correction.”

Yes. Such damage and waste. For nothing.

Keir Starmer is not blameless when it comes to Brexit, but he is moving in the right direction. Even the Tories attacking him know that, says Guardian columnist Simon Jenkins

This insanity needs to be stopped.

Israel is barbaric and no friend of any nation. Israel must be stopped & Palestine must be defended.

The army is also calling up tens of thousands of reserve soldiers.

This is an official plan for ethnic cleansing. If you supported Israel for the past 18 months or so under the assumption that this was about the hostages you were taken for a ride.

If you still support Israel's assault on Gaza, you support ethnic cleansing. It's that simple.
Israel plans to occupy and flatten all of Gaza if no deal by Trump's trip
Trump has effectively given Netanyahu a green light to do as he sees fit, Israeli officials say.

In 25 years of covering national security, I’ve never seen a story like this: Senior Trump officials discussed planning for the U.S. attack on Yemen in a Signal group--and inadvertently added the editor-in-chief of The Atlantic. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...
The Trump Administration Accidentally Texted Me Its War Plans
U.S. national-security leaders included me in a group chat about upcoming military strikes in Yemen. I didn’t think it could be real. Then the bombs started falling.

A thousand times this.
Surprised to see so many headlines from news outlets suggesting Putin has agreed to a ceasefire.

He’s done no such thing. He’s basically said he would do in theory, providing his conditions are met, on his terms. Which is just a variation on what he’s always said.

Trump is taking the stage for his big speech tonight, but things aren’t as rosy as they were a few weeks ago. His approval ratings are slipping, his tariffs just sent the stock market tumbling, and Democrats are on the attack. So, what can we expect to see tonight? The Big Picture breaks it down.

In journalism it's important to reflect both sides,listen, understand nuance,be aware of your bias
It’s also important to call out facts that aren’t true
Trump suggested Ukraine started the war with Russia
That is not true.Facts matter.If you want to end a war,you need to face up to how it started

Trump has now completely humiliated his apologists in the U.K. but not one of them will be honest enough to admit it.

I would like to see a few British broadcasters read out every word of Trump’s latest ‘statement’ live on air & then remind us of their often lavish statements of support for him & then share some of their supportive words for Ukraine.

And then we can all watch their brains explode…
