‘We’re going to stand up to Trump,’ says Mark Carney in second Canadian election debate www.theguardian.com/world/2025/a...

But wait! There's more! Let's hear this justification! Thread: www.threads.net/@sue.j.ro/po....

What must it feel like to have a 104% eejit at the helm of your country. Knowing your voters put him there. Voluntarily. Twice. And one with so little grasp on reality that there’s no sign of him stepping down. Kinda Boris Johnson, Liz Truss + Farage on steroids. With Hitler mixed in.

Re: the story from Germany reported in the Times today, there are some doubts about the validity of the assumptions. A lot remains unclear.

Don't-they-know-who-we-are latest. It seems some people genuinely expected special treatment after the UK is turned its back on Spain. 1

Do you get it now?

The data shows that the most dangerous place for these women is behind closed doors: for seven out of 10 women killed by men, it happens in their own home. Six in 10 are killed by their partners; almost one in 10 by their son; just 9% are killed by a stranger. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Sobering reminder : 🇺🇸 defence stuff losing its cachet “When US foreign policy abruptly changes, the aircraft remain — but contractors, spare parts and badly needed software updates suddenly disappear. Within weeks, more than half the aircraft are grounded.” www.ft.com/content/1503...

Brutal.

This is Winston Churchill visiting the White House during World War II. Funny how he isn’t wearing a suit either. Almost like he was a wartime leader defending his country from being slaughtered and wiped out by an authoritarian aggressor.

Please repost and share this. It is a rare chance to demonstrate that the British people reject Farage’s foreign-linked fascism.

Asked if he still thinks Zelensky is a dictator Trump replies “Did I say that? I can’t believe I said that” Yes you did👇

Ukraine has fought too hard for its freedom, only to have its future dictated by Putin and Trump behind closed doors. Any peace must guarantee Ukraine’s sovereignty and security on terms acceptable to Ukrainians, not just to Moscow and Mar-a-Lago.

Absolutely spot on by George - -and the faster people recognise this dynamic, the better for our ability we have to protect our values and quality of life in Europe.

Anyone British who experienced #Brexit will find this sadly familiar.

Starmer is to attend an EU summit and Brexiters are having a proper tantrum about it. As if they negotiated something good. As if our industries hadn’t been desperately lobbying govt ever since. As if the EU wasn’t an ally. Brexiters are monstrous toddlers - a total drag on diplomacy and progress.

Questions for the Canadians out there. There seemed to be a pro Trump conservative movement that dragged down Trudeau. Is that movement getting stronger or weaker ?

So true.

Trump may think he knows who his enemies are, but he doesn’t. His two biggest enemies will always be 1) reality and 2) himself

So much for supporting our troops.

Oh boy the return of fascist peekaboo. At least the first time around, they tried to be a little more coy with the OK sign. Now we're going to "debate" whether a full sieg heil counts.

Trump should be in jail. Instead - he's about to get handed the keys to the White House. That this can happen is not only mind-boggling, it's frankly terrifying I'm afraid. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

A bit late!!🥺 At the very least Trump should’ve been prevented from standing as a 2024 Presidential candidate so the legal process could’ve been completed! The whole thing is a farce!!😠 www.bbc.com/news/article...

Ein sehr lesenswerter Artikel von @nataschastrobl.bsky.social in der @taz.de Musk hat mit dem Einzug Trumps ins Weiße Haus sein Ziel nicht erreicht. Es ist eine Etappe in der Umsetzung einer Ideologie. taz.de/Elon-Musks-p...

I do wonder whether/how long the Mail can hold off going all in on Farage? Shilling furiously for the Tories is looking increasingly unhinged.

I dare the BBC to take this to court. And get utterly destroyed.

Lock him up.

A quick reminder of how hard these people are working to put out these fires. Please keep them in your thoughts

These two graphs show the complete disaster of Brexit! 💥Britain has lost its place among the top trading nations, while 4 EU members are now in the top 8. 💥Immigration from the EU has dropped by -193%, while immigration from the rest of the world has exploded, for example with +1700% from Zimbabwe!

The pro-EU movement needs to carry out events like this across the north of England and in Labour’s Red Wall. That is the only way to signal to Starmer and his “let’s make Brexit work“ crew (Reeves, Nandy etc) that public opinion is changing against his policy northeastbylines.co.uk/news/brexit/...

The world is 700% richer than in 1970 but the average person is only 8% richer. Because the richest 0.01% are 4000% richer. We are all being robbed every second of every day, and it doesn't matter how much profit or growth there is. It will never reach you.

Day 5 of Georgia protests. Much focus has been on Tbilisi, where 200,000 have been gathering in recent days. However, this is in Batumi, Georgia’s second largest city. Huge numbers now gathering. Pro-EU, anti-government/anti-Russia protests growing across the country. (🎥Irakli Gogua on Instagram)

He thought he could throttle our accounts, suppress our posts, force his insane views on us & just get away with it. Boll**** to that. Welcome to BlueSky everyone

"The Ribble Rivers Trust, a charity aiming to protect and improve the River Ribble and its surrounds throughout Lancashire, says the recent official classification of bathing water at a Clitheroe beauty-spot as ‘poor’ shows the need for action on pollution." Depressing that standards are slipping.
