I note with interest right-wing media's total absence of any concerns about prominent BBC presenter Armstrong expressing his highly political opinions. As was always perfectly clear to many of us, the problem was not that Lineker had views, but the fact they didn't approve of his views.

I will never forget the photo of Zelenskyy’s face after he saw Russia’s war crimes in Bucha in 2022. He seemed to age years in an afternoon. Watching him constantly cross the world asking for aid that should have been thrown at him is one of the deepest shames of our age.

Brexiters have national betrayal in their DNA. They hope Trump will bring our govt down, keep us away from the EU and trample all over us on trade. You might not agree with a fair bit that Starmer’s govt is doing but surely you still want what’s best for our country. And it sure as shit isn’t this…

Can I please commend the stark difference between the Tories and Reform on Ukraine?
MANY of the most senior Tories have condemned Trump explicitly in very clear terms that allow for no ambiguity or nuance.
Reform are shamefully, even treacherously silent.
Never forgive. Never forget.

A scenario where Ukraine can't join NATO paradoxically makes the permanent presence of 10 000s of UK and EU member state troops in Ukraine far more likely

Europe can’t rely on the strength of the transatlantic relationship to help contain Russia’s threat – it must lead from the front and be the true force of support that Ukraine needs. Not just for Ukraine’s sake, but for a free and sovereign Europe.

There simply is no justification for denying people citizenship once you’ve granted them refugee status. None.
