What on earth is Starmer thinking? This is unbelievably reckless and blinkered.

It was the same silence that was heard in the town of Wootton Bassett each time the hearses took the fallen from RAF Lyneham on their final journey home. That silence is more eloquent than any words of disrespect for the sacrifice made by men and women from many Allied nations.

Nigel Farage attended Davos on a pass sponsored by the family office of Iranian billionaire Sasan Ghandehari, which told the World Economic Forum that the Reform UK leader had advised the company since 2018. ft.trib.al/V138xDu

British soldiers coming home from Afghanistan 💔 #TrumpMustApologize

Okay mate, you explain that to angry voters. They'll see your true colours.

This week, an X user created an AI video of me being chloroformed and prepared for rape. Victims are told it's not real and they're getting offended for no reason. But nudification tools are weapons of sexual assault, and the harm they cause is real 👇 jessasato.substack.com/p/ai-nudific...

Any US 🇺🇸 residents out there? Have the Trump NATO allies comments been given any prominence in the USA media? It is headline news in the UK. All the political parties left and right and Centre have rebuked Trump for his comments.

Trump's ultimate disrespect by The i Paper's cartoonist Ben Jennings trib.al/N2vh7AJ

Nigel Farage couldn't find the courage to criticise Trump insulting British troops Saying his remark was 'not quite fair' Remember that next time they're waving union jacks 🇬🇧

PM suggests Trump should apologise over 'appalling' Afghanistan comments

Once again, these people aren't "patriots". They hate their own countries and have built an entire career out of attacking them, while cheering on any foreign leader who does the same

How dare the Coward in the White House undermine the bravery and sacrifice of our British troops. Reform and Nigel Farage should be ashamed to associate themselves with him.

Such a disgraceful comment from the President who clearly has such limited military knowledge. The death of my family member in Afghanistan tore our family apart. To hear these words yesterday was a further insult. A full immediate apology is needed.

Where are the poppy patriots? Why are they completely silent on this grotesque insult to our armed forces and specifically the 2,000 UK service and civilian personnel who were injured and the 457 who died in Afghanistan?

Dear Christ

"Trump says UK and other NATO troops stayed “mainly in the back” in Afghanistan. May I please introduce you you to Lance Corporal Joshua Leaky VC - who ran into enemy fire to rescue injured US marines."

This should become an election campaign poster for Labour/Libdems/Greens/SNP.

We need a UK Digital Sovereignty Strategy. Urge your MP to sign @sianberry.bsky.social Early Day Motion 👇🏼 action.openrightsgroup.org/protect-brit...

Trump had five deferments during the height of the Vietnam War. Four were for his education. The fifth was a medical waiver for bone spurs after college. Dodging draft was not unusual among influential and affluent families and Vietnam was a pointless war but he's got no right to cast aspersions.

The Far Right activist who calls himself Tommy Robinson is funded by right wing US pro-Israel groups, Middle East Eye reports. These include the Shillman Foundation, the think tank of the late David Horowitz and Daniel Pipes’ Middle East Forum.

“Take back control” and give it all to a deeply narcissistic, malignant, unreliable and corrupt American President who is dementedly destabilising the West and siding with Putin to do so. Brexiters made utterly mad by their own abject failure.

“Danish citizens are organising a huge boycott that includes cancelling planned holidays in the US, cancelling subscriptions to on-demand services based in the US & more generally, recommending the use of EU services instead of those provided by American platforms.” So, same as Canadians.

My friend's son was killed by an IED in Afghanistan. He was one of the young rising stars of the British Army. That Americans allow this stinking pile of excrement to travel outside their godforsaken country is a crime against humanity.

“Who needs enemies when you’ve got friends like Donald Trump?” #bbcqt @LaylaMoran.bsky.social

Left: Greg Swenson, Chairman of Republicans Overseas UK says that President Trump saying that NATO troops stayed off the front line in Afghanistan was 'a mistake' #BBCQT Right: Greg Swenson at dinner with Nigel Farage and Liz Truss a couple of nights ago

Layla Moran slams President Trump and Labour's inability to stand up to Trump's bullying #BBCQT "The way this Labour government has approached Donald Trump is the wrong approach" "It's time to have some dignity and stand up for ourselves"

We should hear this from Starmer. He cannot let the mango shitgibbon insult those fallen servicemen. But well done Emily

Fiona Bruce, "President Trump said the troops NATO sent to Afghanistan stayed off the front line" Emily Thornberry slams Donald Trump #BBCQT "It's an absolute insult" "An insult to 457 families who lost someone in Afghanistan" "How dare he say we weren't on the front line" "How dare he"

The UK needs #DigitalSovereignty. This means running our services and critical infrastructure on homegrown open source tech that's beyond the reach of foreign political interference, whether it's the US, China or Israel. We urge you to support the Early Day Motion tabled by @sianberry.bsky.social.

Perhaps Nigel Farage would like to explain to the families of British soldiers killed in Iraq why he’s such a good pal of Donald ‘bonespurs’ Trump?

Ok! Mar-a-Lago

457 British troops lost their lives in Afghanistan. Trump avoided military service 5 times. How dare he question their sacrifice. Farage and all the others still fawning over Trump should be ashamed.

457 UK armed forces personnel died in Afghanistan during the 20-year deployment. This is a fucking hideous thing to say. Even by his non-existent standards.

For decades, countries like Canada prospered under what we called the ‘rules-based international order.’ That order is not coming back, but from the fracture, we can build something better, stronger, and more just. youtu.be/Ve4FwAexdSQ

Trump pictured basking in triumph after tough negotiations in Davos “A beautiful win.. it’s my biggest, most talented win ever.. I’ve secured Iceland for US Security and I don’t mind telling you.. I’ve returned it to our ownership at last.. since it was stolen by Vikings a thousand years ago”❗️

Palantir software is now the basis of the Government's fraud reporting service. So it now handles sensitive financial data for millions of UK citizens. Plus NHS data. Plus military analytics. Plus policing. And, of course, it's quite explicitly far right in its politics. What could ever go wrong?

In 3.5 years he’ll be gone but things will never be the same again. Our greatest ally has shown itself to be our greatest enemy. There are too many countries out there with all their eggs in one basket and that needs to change and it needs to change now.

Trump's bootlicker in chief strikes again. Farage is no patriot, he's just a stooge for the White House.

I would force this piece of dog dirt to explain his views face to face to the families of troops from Europe who were killed in Afghanistan. Trump is twisted.

Left: Mark Carney, "Canada is a pluralist society that works" Right: Keir Starmer, "We risk becoming an island of strangers" Carney is a leader Starmer is a coward appeasing the far right Carney inspires Starmer divides

This is Europe. You will notice Israel isn't in it. So why are they in UEFA? They should be in UAFA with all the other Middle Eastern teams.

UK tourist Becky Burke was arrested by ICE in the USA and kept in handcuffs and chains for 19 days before being deported back to Wales. Her 'crime', doing unpaid work in return for accomodation (which isn't illegal). This is the evil of Donald Trump's USA, DON'T GO.
