Trump & Vance were a disgrace. I'm astounded.
President Zelensky should hold his head up high for his calmness during that tirade

Trump and Vance simping for Putin is about as low as it gets.
Ukraine is literally fighting for ALL of us. We should be thanking THEM, and giving them what they need to keep OUR soldiers out of a war that's inevitable if Russia storms thru Ukraine. Despicable.

The scenes in the Oval Office today will shame the US for decades. They’ll never be forgotten.
A world leader, fighting for his country against the 21st century’s Nazis, came to the US and was attacked & abused by a gangster regime siding with the fascist invaders.
A historic disgrace.

Parents know how tricky it is dealing with a high maintenance child & PM Starmer is no exception. He played a blinder imo with the State visit invite & his whole demeanour was statesmanlike.
Sometimes you need to concede to gain advantage. That's not called capitulation, it's called leading.

Few things can capture the vanity and sheer depravity of Trump.
This video, he posted on his Truth Social account overnight, is as close as you’ll get.
It should greet him at the gates of hell.

Trump using playground insults is the level of incompetence within the White House now. Incompetent President. Incompetent Vice President. Wholly incompetent team behind them & an almost trillionaire smiling sardonically from the sidelines as he effectively dismantles a sleeping country.
Now Trump trades vicious insults with 'dictator' Zelensky – today's front page from The Independent 📰

This is good from the UK’s former Defence Minister & Army veteran, Ben Wallace.
He dismantles Trump’s lies one by one, pointing out that he’s just spewing Kremlin talking points.
Ukraine started the war - LIE
US gives more funding than Europe - LIE
Ukraine needs elections - LIE

If anyone had told me in 2019 that I would have had 3 collections of poetry published within 6 years, and that they all would be on sale in Waterstones, Blackwells, Foyles and great independent bookshops, well, I would say that you have been eating too much cheese before bedtime.
Thank you all xx.
