We should get serious about sanctions. Russian missiles that kill Ukrainian civilians contain parts made in the West. And this repeated mass murder of civilians by Moscow should bring total boycotts on Russian gas and oil. And the Ukrainians should get everything they need to defend themselves
16 people were killed and 49 injured after russia’s strike on Ternopil. Missiles and drones hit 2 residential buildings and damaged an industrial facility. Rescue workers are still clearing the rubble. u24.gov.ua/nafo-dark-ni...

Tory hard Brexit didn’t even include our national security, let alone do anything to promote it - in an uncertain world internationalism is vital to our shared safety. Proud to stand with European colleagues at the parliamentary partnership assembly in pledging to tackle this.

Of course, the easiest way to settle this is to release the #EpsteinFiles in full.

It takes an obscene amount of hubris to lecture the BBC when you have The Telegraph’s record on truth-telling.

Want to know why the prisons system seems to be suddenly falling apart?

Well, it's not sudden. It's just suddenly being REPORTED. This rot was a deliberate policy choice, and I kept the receipts. Because I'm not the BBC.

Just watching “The Real Hack”. If, as alleged, the hard drives and emails weren’t erased to suppress evidence, produce them.

Murdoch, produce the evidence you absolute pos in human form.

And if you could gift us your death for Christmas that would be awesome.

#BBC thanks to you all for supporting us in our programming, thanks to you we can whitewash Tory austerity, promote Reform UK and pretend that the shitshow of today is the fault of the current government.

And this right here is why billionaires need to be taxed out of existence.

Their greed can never be satiated and they’re terrified that someone might just have the balls to redistribute wealth.
