I salute the bravest leader in the world, a war time president, who refuses to kowtow to bullies to defend his country.

👀 Watching social media blow up thinking of the repercussions of this Trump v Musk fight.🍿 It’s like watching an ‘Atomic Collision’, imagine how toxic the fallout will be! ☢️
Would be funny were it not for the worrying consequences of this chaos! 😩

Will the next Pope build on Pope Francis' legacy of a more open, liberal and inclusive leadership of the catholic church or will the cardinals vote to go backwards with a more conservative Pope?

Trump as Pope: Trump posting this vulgar picture of himself as Pope and then the Offical White House account retweeting it is disgraceful.
Trump is trolling the world with this disrespectful post, a week after he attended the funeral of Pope Francis!

Great to be involved in this conversation yesterday, delving into the impact of cancer in the workplace and why it's such an important topic that needs far more attention and action.👇
4️⃣ An EU study shows that most countries lack legislative frameworks to support cancer patients and survivors to #ReturnToWork.

The impact of cancer in the workplace can no longer be ignored, explains @veronicafoote.bsky.social (@workingwithcancer.bsky.social).

It was a busy day for the WWC team yesterday with some very important conversations about cancer taking place. Thank you to @debbiehindle.bsky.social for taking part in an event in Parliament focusing on breast cancer care hosted by the @economist.com
This has to be the best view as you emerge from a London Underground tube station. Off to an @economist.com event this morning in Parliament for the non-profit @workingwithcancer.bsky.social which has contributed to a report on breast cancer care in Europe #workingwithcancer

Incredibly shocking news, especially as yesterday Pope Francis attended Easter Sunday mass at St Peter’s.
Pope Francis was an enlightened individual within a conservative community, who championed acceptance and embraced all. RIP 💜

Just finished reading this months edition of @bylinetimes.bsky.social
Scarily accurate in its Trump predictions, even from the last few days. Although there is a sense of foreboding, we are beginning to see some form of checks and balances will kick in, from the US institutions and private sector

Why would you move your manufacturing to America when next week the tariffs might half, or disappear, or double, or grow wings and fly, or be turned into a goblin, or become an emotion, or

Take US's goods trade deficit with X country, divide it by total amount of goods imported from that country. Cut % in half equals US's
"reciprocal" tariff rate.”
Eg. Bangladesh: US imported $8.4bn in 2024, giving it a $6.2bn trade deficit with the country. 6.2 divided by 8.4 is 0.738. Tariff is 37%

Impressive 1H for Italy, managing to hold Ireland, one of the top rugby teams in the world, despite the yellow card. Bravi 👏 👏👏
Hope Italy can maintain momentum 2H, despite injurie🤞

L'Italia ha avuto momenti di brillantezza e ha giocato molto bene, soprattutto nel primo tempo ma è un peccato che la loro energia sia calata nel secondo tempo, soprattutto quando avrebbe potuto giocarsi un importante punto bonus.

Very respectable half time score for Italy when you consider they are playing away at Twickenham, putting pressure on until the 40th minute. Great game of rugby so far! Could Italy been in for a landmark victory? 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏉🇮🇹

Keir Starmer is on fire today in parliament, especially with his response to Farage reminding him that Putin is the aggressor and that Zelensky is valiantly defending Ukraine.

Here's a 🎶 twist on Coldplay's thumping #VivaLaVida we're calling "Puppets on a Kremlin String?"

It reflects on the grotesque media spectacle hosted by #Trump & #Vance yesterday at the White House. In solidarity with Zelensky & Ukraine.

President Zelensky, a war time leader & hero, has defended Ukraine & European eastern flank from an aggressive invader for three years with dreadful loss of life.
Tomorrow Starmer & European leaders need to increase unequivocal support for Zelensky to achieve peace.

@Keir_Starmer Sunday you will host European leaders including @ZelenskyyUa. You see yourself as the bridge between Europe & US. Until today this made sense but now #Trump is clearly allied with Putin & against Ukraine. You can’t ignore this.
#StandWithUkraine #SlavaUkraïni 🇺🇦
Almost 20 European leaders, incl Emmanuel Marcon & Friedrich Merz, plus VDL, have posted in support of @ZelenskyyUa after White House showdown.

Notably, Keir Starmer has not. No 10 is referring reporters to PM’s comments this week on a just & lasting peace, with Ukraine at heart of talks.

Zelenskyy has been completely disrespected and is being expected to kowtow to Trump and his extortionate expectations. Trump’s lack of knowledge of international affairs and history is palpable.
February 28, 2025 at 6:08 PM
The coming weeks will tell but based on what we saw, Starmer passed a very difficult diplomatic challenge today. He was able to walk a tight line between standing up for UK/UKR/EU interests whilst doing what is necessary diplomatically to keep the embers of the ‘special relationship’ alive. Bravo!

Freidrich Merz, the new German chancellor, also took aim at Musk’s disinformation saying his “interventions from Washington were no less drastic, dramatic, and ultimately no less brazen, than the interventions that we have seen from Moscow.”

This story doesn’t surprise me, it fits KGB/FSB MO. It explains how Trump has managed to stay afloat financially all these years and Trump’s political fawning of Putin, parroting Kremlin propaganda whilst betraying US, Ukraine & European allies. Time for US leaders to denounce Trump and impeach him.
