Spent too long looking on in horror since 2016. Here for The Archers, cats and gardening distractions.

It's amazing how few people in the UK realise that the last time the world went in to a massive financial tailspin, albeit one not directly caused by the President of the USA, it was Gordon Brown & the late Alistair Darling who provided the sort of international leadership desperately needed now.

Starmer literally having Zelenskyy’s back today while trying to build bridges.

Somehow a huge relief to watch Starmer doing this so incredibly well.

I don’t know how he does it.

Heroic is a strange word. But I think it can be applied here.
Zelenskyy on if Ukraine can hold off Russia without continued US support: "It will be difficult for us. That's why I'm here."

Also revealing was Vance’s answer, that he didn’t need to go to Ukraine because he had seen a lot of videos. Permanently online, like a slightly upscale Kemi Badenoch
What a disingenuous line this was from Vance today: "you guys are going around...forcing conscripts to the frontlines because you have manpower problems" meduza.io/en/feature/2...

1. Yes, that's how total wars work

2. This admin—like last one—ASKED Ukraine to expand conscription

Your dignity honors the bravery of the Ukrainian people.

Be strong, be brave, be fearless.
You are never alone, dear President Zelenskyy.

We will continue working with you for a just and lasting peace.

There was a President in the Oval Office today. His name is Zelensky. He had to fend off two impotent barking dogs sent by Putin. They are named Trump and Vance.

I have never seen anything as disgusting as that. Genuinely no words.
BBC News now has the footage on their live page - you can rewind slightly to the beginning of the broadcast from the Oval Office if need be.

The usuals celebrating 5 years of Brexit while they squeeze their eyes shut and close their ears to the crappy reality of their stupid ideology. Taking a showy bow for being awarded a national Darwin Award 5 years on the run.

Meanwhile, the rest of the country agrees it’s been utter rubbish.

“Farage cost farmers more money with Brexit than any inheritance tax. Now he’s cosplaying in tweed, marching alongside them. Tractors came to Whitehall in March, to protest trade deals Badenoch signed. Now they're applauding her speech. How can I take them seriously? Where are their principles?”

memo to farmers protesting today, if you’re desperate to hand your farm to your offspring then give it to them while you’re still alive, panic over, so long as you live another 7 years there’s no inheritance tax

The fact that Jeremy Clarkson, Nigel Farage and Claire Fox have involved themselves with the farmers’ protests should tell us everything we need to know. And I say that as a farmer’s grandson.
