No second state visit for Trump
Unbelievable. Keir Starmer has handed Donald Trump a letter from King Charles, inviting him for a second state visit to the UK. It’s totally unprecedented, and should not go ahead.

📸 No one follows more etiquette rules than the Royal Family—but notice how King Charles didn’t make any smart-ass or demeaning comments about Zelensky’s attire today.
Why? Because respect isn’t about clothes—it’s about character. And that’s something money can’t buy.

Milan, Italy, demonstration against Trump: support for Ukraine under US consulate
Ironic given #Trump was meant to meet the #King in the coming days. He will no doubt be furious:
'Zelensky to meet King Charles, BBC understands
King Charles III will meet Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky tomorrow, the BBC understands.
The meeting comes at the request of the UK government.'
'Zelensky to meet King Charles, BBC understands

Starmer tells Zelensky he has 'full backing' of UK at No 10 meeting - latest
The meeting comes a day after Zelensky's meeting with Donald Trump was cut short following a heated exchange in the Oval Office.

Democratic Leaders Stand Real Still In Hopes No One Notices Them
WASHINGTON—With the elected officials trying their hardest not to move a muscle, reports confirmed Monday that top Democratic leaders in Congress were standing real still in hopes that the American people wouldn’t notice them. “Don’t make any sudden movements, or they’ll spot us,” Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) said out of the corner of his mouth, […]

The Prime Minister should show British leadership on Ukraine by inviting President Zelenskyy to address Parliament on Monday.
I'm proud that the UK has been Ukraine's staunchest ally from the start. We mustn't falter in the face of Trump's bullying now.

Yesterday I had hope, then the news of the #Trump / #Zelensky video came out. I just watched the 'highlight' version of it and I feel sick.
Its time we no longer depended on #America for #WorldStability, and the current #EU president isn't providing any help in the matter.
