So, Farage struts around on stage in the US, slagging off the UK and the EU, blaming anything but Brexit for us being poorer and unhappier and crawling up Trump’s backside…

As well as the blatant lies told by Trump, it is galling that a bone-spur draft-dodger lectures a man who has set himself against a powerful invader and not flinched.
NEW: Donald Trump has called the Ukrainian President a “dictator” who has done a “terrible job”. He claims “millions have died” as a result.
“A Dictator without Elections, Zelenskyy better move fast or he is not going to have a Country left."

The most important thread you'll read today. In brief: Europe has the power to save Ukraine and slip into the leadership position America has vacated. It must grasp it. And Europeans must pressure their governments to do so.
Ok folks, deep breaths.
There is very real reason to worry about the dynamic emerging between Washington and Moscow when it comes to Ukraine. But there is also very real reason to believe that Ukraine and Europe can create a better outcome.
(A rather long 🧵, obviously)
