Reporter: Do you believe you can convince #Putin to stop shooting people in #Ukraine?

Trump: I think the answer is no. I’ve had that conversation before.

Being reminded this day of the horrors that took place in Auschwitz over eighty years ago under the Nazis. Yet here in Germany today the far-right AfD party has gained in popularity encouraged by Elon Musk. Utterly unbelievable!

Here in Germany canvassing for the federal election next month has begun. I fervently wish the far-right AfD party does not gain further seats in the parliament. I am old enough to remember the time when a far-right party was last in power in Germany and the disastrous consequences that ensued.

This is Iryna, 22 years old.
She died in a hospital overnight following the #Russian missile strike on #KryvyiRih.

Initially Iryna survived the first explosion at her workplace an educational institution.
Then Russians struck again and killed Iryna

Industries like mine (fashion photography) export our in-person services and need FOM to do so.

I don't sell widgets; I sell my skills, talent, and artistry.

But I can't do that in Paris, Milan, Madrid or Berlin while sitting in a studio in London.

I need to actually be there.

I support Davey's project to return the UK to the CU. It's a big breach in the establishment wall around Brexit. But it's the SM which is far more important to our trade. I suspect Davey has steered clear of that because of FoM. If so, that's disappointing.

Suella Braverman has just told #lbc listeners that not only has Italy built a wall on "its border with Turkey" but that she has been there "and seen it."

Elon Musk caused uproar after backing Germany’s far-right AfD in a major newspaper ahead of key parliamentary elections on February 23.
Earlier, it was rumoured that he will donate $100m to Reform.

Billionaires like Mush should not abuse their influence and wealth to interfere in foreign politics.

This!
Don't talk up Reform as if it represents some ignored voice of the working class. It doesn't.

It represents a rebranded far right that is bidding for American billionaire cash so it can replace the Tory party. That's all.

The Tories are fuming about "Brexit betrayal".

Meanwhile "Brexit cost UK £27 billion in lost trade in first two years".

Why should anyone be upset about "betraying" the worst economic policy in British history?

Labour, time to ditch your outdated "red lines".
