The sheer barefaced dishonesty of a regime that is snatching people off the streets for their speech; painting over testimonials to women & minorities in US history; subjugating universities & trying to crush research into subjects it dislikes, standing as a champion of "free speech" is staggering.

Farage never bothered to turn up when UK fishing rights were being discussed. He never turned up in the EU parliament - yet he did vote against an EU clamp down on Russian propaganda.
Working against the interests of our nation.

This reminds me so much of the stars who must have made similar speeches in the 1930s to warn against what was happening in Nazi Germany. But unlike now, they didn't have social media. Bruce is right! We must join together in a union of decent people. No state visits! No more normalisation of evil!

We are all Bruce Springsteen today.
It is so tragic and highly embarrassing that someone so vile, petty, and bereft of decency is the president. I will never understand or have peace with it.

Our relationship with the EU has to be about far more than trade. It also has to be about culture, education, science, agriculture, climate change, biodiversity, travel, security, relationships, families, dreams. Why should a parcel or a packet of peas have more freedom of movement than a person?

Thank you, dear Keir Starmer, for hosting the leaders' meeting today.
We reiterate our support to Ukraine’s agreement to a ceasefire.
Now Russia has to show that it is willing to support a ceasefire leading to a just and lasting peace.

Here's what the idiots in the White House utterly fail to comprehend. They and the US came out of that argument weaker. Zelensky came out stronger, with Europe rallying behind Ukraine more than before. They came out looking like petulant idiots; he came out looking like a leader with integrity.

What we’re witnessing in America is what happens when disordered discourse captures a political party, then the state itself. The Republican Party was the first to fall - abandoning truth for conspiracy, ideology for grievance, and policy for performative outrage.
