When you see Tories whinging about the price of concert tickets, just remember, Badenoch took a £14,300 luxury holiday for her whole family, courtesy of a donor. And what did they get in return? She changed the Tory policy on Net Zero. #ukpolitics

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.

Trump never had a peace plan for Ukraine. He had a plan for Ukraine's surrender, with a colonial resource grab. As Zelenskyy rightly refused it, or to cooperate in Trump's TV spectacular, the US has now cut Ukraine off.
That's what blackmail looks like.
That's what the world is up against.

Mike, please would you give this a push?
1 personal endorsement from someone, such as yourself, is worth thousands of posts from someone like me - especially now people are deleting Twitter and Facebook it's going to be difficult getting petitions signed 🙏

So, this should trigger a public inquiry into possible misconduct in public office & the potential involvement of hostile foreign nations. No sane commercial CEO would embark on such an initiative. So are we just supposed to shrug at this behaviour from those we trusted to govern our country? #FBPE

Holding Labour accountable is reasonable but that’s NOT what is happening. What we’re seeing is the most rich powerful people in the world throwing all they’re got at a democratically elected UK government, because it’s far less likely to work solely in THEIR interests than the previous one.
