At my mum’s. Drove past a farmer’s field by the M6 - trailer with a huge REFORM poster on it!

So that’s two slaps in the face today for Britain and Europe from a US “Administration” that is completely out of control. Just as much of a threat to us as Putin. Time to treat both the same way.

President Zelenskyy has been one of the greatest leaders of our time, guiding Ukraine through the darkest period of its recent history, rising up to Russia’s unwarranted aggression, being an inspiration to the Ukrainian people and ensuring that Ukraine’s voice is heard on the world stage.
