Farage just said “I didn’t wear a mask last time and I won’t wear them this time. This is nonsense.”

Here he is, not only wearing a mask, but also getting vaccinated…

Chancellor Merz on the US Security Strategy:

In my discussions with Americans, I tell them, "America first is fine, but America alone cannot be in your interest. You also need partners in the world. And one of those partners can be Europe."

A positive take on a dark day
This is the best analysis I’ve read about Trump’s alignment with Putin, and the future for Ukraine and Europe

And it accords with my optimism. On the ground, Ukraine and Europe can resist the globalist oligarchs

Very good to hear the German chancellor call out the US and say he is sceptical of the US plans for Ukraine. Hope that is where Macron and Starmer end up by the end of the day.

This is pretty much exactly like a European saying the United States should be abolished, so that the governments of individual states can better represent their people.

It’s a take, you’re entitled to it, but what’s it got to do with you, buddy?

Farage also wants an apology from the BBC "for all of your appalling output" or he won't speak to them again. He sounds very, very rattled.

Nigel Farage has gone to war with the BBC after a radio presenter suggested he had “a relationship when he was younger with Hitler,” vowing he would not speak to the national broadcaster until it apologized for its own past “racist” content.

President of Ukraine:

The Russians started the war, and there are no alternatives to this wording. The whole world is a witness. They came with aggression to destroy us.

We stopped them. Europe helped, America helped.

Something that Trump’s hapless crew seem completely unable to understand.
We still need to get from a situation where Russia pretends to negotiate to a situation where they need to negotiate.

Pro-tip: when defending yourself against allegations that you used derogatory language, never, under any circumstances, reach for the b-word. Dismissing anything you might have said as 'banter' really is the ultimate red flag.
