Woke up this morning to news of Donald Trump’s Iran-Israel ceasefire. In his words, “I think the ceasefire is unlimited. It’s going to go forever,”
Genuinely felt hopeful for the world.
Then within an hour or so news that his forever ceasefire had been violated.
He is an idiot.

I love history

Kinda like how asking people for permission to be robbed would kill the robbing industry.

Absolutely!
It is mind blowing to me that the world is allowing one crazy man to wreck the world economy.

WTAF indeed. Absolutely disgusting if correct

Probably the best comment so far
The question of if a country could fuck itself harder than the UK did with Brexit has today been answered.

Today in 1924 Hitler was sentenced to a pathetic 5 yrs for trying to overthrow the government.

He served 9 months. There might be a lesson here somewhere about being tough on people who assault democratic governance.

What’s the difference between America ‘taking’ Greenland and Putin ‘taking’ Ukraine? 🤔

Yep
If there is a concerted plan to make the United States the most hated country on the planet, it could not be going any better.
incredible -- JD Vance rails against Denmark from Greenland -- "Our message to Denmark is very simple: You have not done a good job by the people in Greenland."

Raise your hand if you think a vote for Donald Trump last November was like the British people voting for Brexit AGAIN.

Insane
Thousands of acres of protected Amazon rainforest is being cut down to build a four lane highway to transport people to the COP30 climate summit in Brazil.

Yes, this is a real story.

Many caricatures capture Trump the moron. Few capture his evil as brilliantly as this.

This has been shared a lot recently, but mostly without crediting the artist.

The artist goes by the name of WeFail. Based in Manchester, UK, here’s a link to his incredible work

Etymology of the day: ‘book’ comes from an ancient root shared by ‘beech’, a wood that people used for engraving inscriptions. ‘Paper’ comes from ‘papyrus’, and ‘volume’ is from the Latin for a ‘roll’ of parchment.

Happy World Book Day.

Vance is unutterably vile
NEW: JD Vance describes UK & French troops in Ukraine as “20,000 troops from some random country that hasn’t fought a war in 30 or 40 years”.

Spits in the face of UK & EU troops that died supporting the US in Iraq & Afghanistan.

So revealing. The Atlantic alliance & “special relationship” is dead.

Trump is an enemy of us all.

Europe needs to unite - and the UK needs to rejoin the EU.

If you want to see that happen… join European Movement UK right now. We’re driving this. ✊

NEW: Just 6% of Gen Z say they actually want a dictator – not over half, as has been recently claimed.

Our study finds only a very small minority of 13-27-yr-olds really feel this way, when their views and interpretations are tested with different questioning approaches 🧵⬇️

Shocked I am, absolutely and completely shocked.

People waking up to what a horror Farage is: a positive outcome from this nightmare.
“Previously, they might have said: ‘Nigel Farage is the British Trump, he's going to shake things up’.

Now, they’re saying: ‘Is he going to be a British Trump? Is he going to be stable?’”

@luketryl on how Trump’s Ukraine stance could lose Reform votes.
Will Nigel Farage’s friendship with Donald Trump lose Reform UK votes?
As Donald Trump cosies up to Putin and attacks Ukraine's leadership, polling reveals potential Reform UK voters are expressing fears about Nigel Farage's links to the US president.
