I implore someone, anyone, in the media…

Do your job

And the next time you have Farage on, please ask him directly:

…what were the motivations behind this?

As we learn of Trump’s ‘peace plan’ for Ukraine…

I would just like to remind you of this part of the Epstein emails that we read about last week:

“Ask him if Putin has the photos of Trump blowing Bubba”

I’ll just leave that with you.

It’s extraordinary that so much media still reports on Trump with the old, redundant tools of the trade. He lied about Ukraine, then he tried to extort Ukraine, and having failed he threatens to walk away from Ukraine. The idea that he was ever going to do anything unwelcome to Putin is ridiculous.

It's extraordinary how many wise people still don't realise that much of the right-wing media and political establishment can *never* turn on Trump simply, and only, because he has made base bigotry mainstream & 'acceptable' again. 'Anti-woke' was always about being pro-racism, lies & misogyny.

Rachel Reeves is all about growth. So why won’t she admit that Brexit is its worst enemy? Making the Blair/Brown mistake of never explaining to voters the value of the EU, Starmer doesn’t dare make bold speeches to Britain about his EU reset. It’s time he did.

Our exit from the EU won’t be a focus of the spring statement, but it should be. Most now accept the need for closer ties, writes Guardian columnist Polly Toynbee

A pal just messaged to say nursery fees are being hiked by 10%…

When they are already an average of £15k per year and among the most expensive globally

Thanks to Labour’s NI hike

Well done @uklabour.bsky.social

That’s really going to help working people and get the economy moving.

For all of the noise and the hype, the basic facts are these: Ukraine and has agreed to an unconditional ceasefire. Russia has not.

And tonight, Putin keeps on bombing.

Multiple drone attacks across Ukraine last night, including on a hospital. This on a day that Putin claimed he’s committed to peace.

This is hideous. And close to inexplicable unless Trump is doing what Putin tells him to.
SCOOP --> Trump's State Department quietly terminated a contract that was in the process of transferring evidence of Russian abductions of Ukrainian kids to European law enforcement, two sources familiar with the situation tell me.

The fate of abducted Ukrainian children is a white-hot issue for peace negotiations—and it looks like the State Department may have just undercut the cause.
