The Prime Minister of Poland is quite clear. Now for the other European leaders please.....
Dear Volodymyr Zelenskyy, dear Ukrainian friends, you are not alone.

This has to be right. Starmer's summit on Sunday has become a potentially decisive moment. If Europeans don't throw their weight behind Ukraine and behind a massive and immediate increase in their defence efforts (& damn the deficits), Europe will find itself at the mercy of Putin & Trump.
Can't see how Europe and the US can reconcile frankly. The reception to Zelensky among EU leaders vs this doesn't seem bridgeable. This is going to play awfully in every chancellery across Europe. A big split is coming
BREAKING: There has just been a huge argument between Zelenskyy, Trump & Vance in the Oval Office.
Trump calls Zelenskyy disrespectful and says he “is no position to dictate” to the US.
Trump raises his voice to Zelenskyy. He can’t stand someone standing up to him.
This is unbelievable.

Time for Europe to accept that Trump's US cannot be trusted one iota. Any notion of a special relationship is for the fairies. It's for us to support Ukraine now, without the US. Yes, increase defence spending but no, not from aid budgets. Tax increases if needed.

Shocked at what's coming out of the White House, appalling from Trump and Vance.

"The US sides with Russia". And North Korea and Belarus. This is mad.
Breaking news: U.S. sides with Russia to vote against a U.N. resolution condemning Moscow for the Ukraine war.
Washington’s dramatic shift on the conflict marks a major break with its European allies and coincides with the Trump administration’s bid to repair relations with the Kremlin.

Pretty unimpressed with Welsh Water - bills up by average 27%, mine more than 35%, AND increasing again for a further four years.
Welsh Water is a not-for-profit company. God help those provided by a profit-making one.

Can't quite believe R4 Evan Davies interviewing an Egyptian Senator asking why Trump's insane, despicable, dangerous, offensive suggestion wouldn't work. As if there was merit in the idea. FFS 🤬🤬🤬

Great to launch the first Repair Cafe in Llanishen (Cardiff) today. A huge success with a fantastic team of volunteers and more than 30 visitors/repairs in the two-hour session. Less landfill, less consumption, less spending = can only be good 😊
