Context you rarely hear: global stocks are up about 30% over the past year. U.S. stocks? Around 18%. That means American investors underperformed the world by about 12 percentage points, even while headlines called it a “fantastic year.”

This Christmas Eve, remember Ukraine. Darkness, empty chairs, voices gone forever — this is not fate. So many beautiful lives were taken, not by time, but by Russia’s war.

At 9:00, Ukraine stops for one minute. Every day, Ukrainians take a moment to honor our fallen heroes. No matter where we are or what we’re doing — at 09:00, life pauses for a minute of silence. Join us right now. One minute. One nation. One memory.

🇪🇺 The EU’s struggle isn’t just about Belgium blocking the use of €210 B frozen Russian assets for Ukraine, it’s about intense U.S pressure. According to Politico, Trump officials have been pushing European capitals to reject the plan, deepening divisions just days before a crucial EU summit.

I’m not often lost for words but…

Why should other countries sign deals with the United States when this president is breaking **his own deals** after less than 6 months? www.reuters.com/world/europe...

A disastrous consequence of a culture reserving its greatest rewards for commentators with the most pungently expressed opinions is how hard it becomes for them to climb down. By rights, *everybody* writing or speaking in the national interest should be horrified & outraged by Trump’s attacks on us.

Let us keep the Defenders of Ukraine in our thoughts and prayers. RIP - Andrii Topchii, Serhii Sokor, Colombian Brother Luis Felipe Gutiérrez Valencia, Volodymyr Kyrychenko (36) In Flanders fields the poppies blow Between the crosses, row on row, That mark our place Eternal Memory!

Where it’s hardest, women stand too. With weapons, with care, with faith — for the sake of life and freedom 💙💛

We pay tribute to the men and women who stood to fight the Russian invaders. They will never be forgotten. RIP – Stefan Yurkevych (36), Colombian fighter Wilson Fernando Callejas Cespedes, Oleh Reviuk, Mykola Stryha (54) Вічна Пам’ять! Eternal Memory! Герої не вмирають! Heroes Never Die!

Having Johnson & Cummings in Downing Street when Covid struck was, just like Brexit, an entirely avoidable disaster caused largely by utterly appalling journalism. And now exactly the same clowns, arses & bigots with bylines are rolling out the red carpet for Farage. www.thetimes.com/article/1b15...

1/13 Could Europe defeat Russia in a real war? On paper yes. In reality, we are not ready. Power without readiness is weakness. Here is why Europe would struggle and what must change to deter Russia before it is too late🧵

It’s completely fine to call fascism fascism. Trump attacking media that criticizes him and trying to control mass media might be just one element of it, but he fits most of the other elements too. The media part cannot be looked at as a separate issue in his case

Musk is extremely dangerous

A criminal admitting that he is a criminal

There goes Zohran Mamdani, trying to plot a course between the Scylla and Charybdis of unhinged attacks from the right and unrealisitic expectations from the left. You have to wish him well.

Nice to see that the rest of the world will now join our radio show in referring to him as Andrew Windsor.

Straight to ‘let’s have a debate about whether racism is racism’ for *almost* all of the UK media. Nothing learned from the lessons of Brexit, Trump & Johnson. But on we go.

Out of all the overhyped, self-proclaimed geniuses who dream of dominating the world and forcing their opinions on everyone, Elon Musk is arguably the most powerful but also the most unimpressive. He is just pathetic and so dishonest

As two drag queens are attacked & their attackers cheered on by male bystanders in Cork, the Irish Government's complicit response to the far-right has to be noted again. Here, 2 years ago British far-right agitators try to force Cork library to remove books that reference LGBTQ+ existence. [1/n]

Friends, narrative is important (otherwise, propaganda wouldn't throw billions at it). Please, always frame Georgia as a Russian takeover and an important front-line of our common European fight for freedom and peace. Also, call the Georgian Dream a regime, not a government.
