🇧🇪 Belgian PM Bart De Wever told La Libre that Russia “will not lose” in Ukraine and called claims of its defeat “a fairy tale and total illusion.” He warned that Russian assets must be returned post-war and said Moscow threatened Belgium with “eternal retaliation” if confiscated.

Ceasefire isn't even on the table. It'd been firmly rejected by russia every time. Not sure what "deal" you expect on any attempt without a ceasefire.

That peace process worked out well.

Trump doesn’t have the gumption just to abandon Ukraine & destroy NATO.

Now we all see that.

What would it take for him to choose to give up Ukraine?

I cannot see an obvious spin that would let him gain a media advantage.

Lobbyist / ex Tory MP Ben Howlett has been done by an undercover sting. As ever, the most revealing thing is how very very cheap it is buy access in British media/politics — and especially how Howlett controls one of the biggest UK pol Twitter accounts!

THEY MAKE CARS OUT OF PLASTIC BECAUSE IT'S SAFER YOU FUCKING CHILD. HOW DO YOU POSSIBLY EVEN THINK PLASTIC HAS LOWER EMISSIONS THAN STEEL?!?! LET ME OUT OF THIS REALITY I FUCKING CANNOT.
Ted Cruz: "They had to make cars out of plastic instead of steel because of the emissions standards. People died."
Trump proceeds to repeat the ridiculous things he said.

Time for an old photo memory. Five years ago I saw the first lit-up graveyard & experienced my first proper blizzard. I was staying in a rather miserable little cabin for 3 nights, mostly trapped, but I managed to venture outside a couple of times to this lovely nearby church.

Ich sehe es positiv - die AfD bleibt am Haken, lasst sie nicht wieder abspringen, sondern leitet das Prüfverfahren ein #SPD, #Grüne #CDU, #Linke

#Prüf
Das ist ein Durchbruch beim #AfDVerbot!

Die Berliner SPD wird morgen zusammen mit der CDU einen Antrag für eine Bundesratsinitiative zur Einleitung eines AfD-Verbotsverfahrens einbringen und darüber abstimmen.

Damit wird sich der Bundesrat befassen.

This is where 'DEI' comes in as a conceptual bridge between Thatcher-Reagan type conservatism and nationalist populism in that it allows you argue that non-white success is somehow fake and contrived as opposed to authentically earned

This is vile and so so wrong. GB News is the TV version of X.

Extreme racism like this should not be platformed as ‘news.’

It is absolutely disgusting and another attempt to drag ‘debate’ to the right and destabilise our democracy.
