And when Donald Trump, who has very consistently sided with Putin and foreign autocrats, and JD Vance, who channels the broader NatCon, nativist, and ethno-nationalist desire for a new world order, try to publicly humiliate and delegitimize Zelensky, it is pretty much exactly what it looks like.

We need to trust our eyes. Nazi salutes, racist purges, an ambush on the Ukrainian president by a far-right regime. If what we see aligns with what we know and is also in line with an established track record, our default assumption should be that what is happening is actually what it looks like.

Scandalous behaviour by the governing Labour Party in the UK against journalists from abroad.

The worst thing is that a quick google search would have thrown up dozens if not hundreds of articles/videos/audio by these journalists. Every full FPA member is a bona fide journalist, their credentials checked by us & the Police. This is embarrassingly unprofessional.

Hey @teamlabouruk.bsky.social, why have you just denied most FPA members accreditation to the Labour Party Conference? Those are respected correspondents you’ve sent this insulting rejection letter to. Definitely not the way to “improve the UK’s relationship with Europe” @fpalondon.bsky.social
