Three key takeaways (1/n)
Right-wing MPs are more active on X/Twitter and less present on Bluesky

History will remember how the U.S. chose to wreck its economy, isolate itself from allies, and lose global standing—all because a few cowardly Republican senators refused to convict Trump after January 6.

British troops have fought and died alongside the Americans in Afghanistan and Iraq, just to be written off as non-existent people from "some random country". We have to maintain tolerable relations with this administration to try and minimise damage, but my god it's not easy.
Vance tells Fox the only US security guarantee in Ukraine will be the mineral deal.

And he describes British and French peacekeeping troops as “20k troops from some random country that hasn’t fought a war in 30 or 40 years”.

"There will come a moment where the West has to say to Donald Trump, sorry, you're just spouting what Putin thinks, and we can't allow this to happen."

But when will that be?

A five-star performance from Arsenal.

The North London side are now unbeaten in 14 Premier League matches - their longest run under Mikel Arteta - and trail Liverpool at the top of the Premier League by six points having played a game more.

Trump is a thug, a bully and a gangster. This is what statesmanship looks like: doing what's necessary to protect your country's interests, but keeping open the hand of friendship and hoping for a day when the US will return to its senses.
Here's the speech if you haven't heard it. 13 minutes of your time. Share it with your American friends and neighbours, because they won't see it otherwise. Circulate it in Mexico and Denmark, France and the UK, Panama and Germany, Poland and Estonia, and especially -- especially -- Ukraine.

You won’t see a better quality debate in parliament than this. Assisted dying bringing out the intelligent, respectful side of politics that we could probably do with a lot more of.
