Just took a deep breath & went to look at X. It's an absolute cesspit of hatred & glee: one huge account after another blaming the Huntingdon attacks on immigration, with total disregard for information, evidence or the safety of those at whom they're pointing.

Trump rejected Zelensky’s push for Tomahawk missiles in what sources described as a “tough” and at times emotional 2.5-hour meeting. After a long call with Putin the day before, Trump made clear his focus is now on diplomacy, not escalation. Putin put Trump back to factory settings.

Just sent out this piece. Trunp and Putin are buddies again, all talk of Tomahawks to Ukraine and sanctions on Russia have disappeared. Was it all a charade? Sad thing, is that it might be worse. open.substack.com/pub/phillips...

May I also say, don't get excited about this FT story. The 'dramatic' writing is ridiculously misleading. A more accurate headline would be "The US continues to be consulted and, along with the UK, still provides vital Intel for all Ukraine's long-range strikes on Russia"

If it's too easy going to the UK, and you don't want it to be that easy, then make it harder. Just stop whining about the consequences of your actions, which we told you would happen when you stupidly voted for Brexit because "Savranti init" ffs, I'm so bored of your shit ignorant writing
