In 1939 Hitler, as a pretext to invade, lied Poland had attacked Germany.
Putin lies, & Trump repeats, that Ukraine started the war with Russia. In 2014 Russia invaded Ukraine & annexed Crimea, & again in Feb 2022 claiming further annexations.
These are the same.

Churchill postponed elections while the UK was at war with Nazi Germany.
President Zelensky has postponed elections while Ukraine is at war with Russia. Both are the same.
Trump says not holding elections while at war makes them both dictators. What a reprehensible, odious man.

Trump's America?
Weak. Weak. Weak.
How embarrassing it only took a few weeks for Trump to turn the US into a cowardly Putin-appeasing puppet state.

If Trump decides to hit the UK with tariffs, I really hope Keir Starmer is ready for his 'Hugh Grant in Love Actually' moment
A moment to rally and unify the nation in the face of a friend turned bully; Labour surge; nation proud and standing tall.
Canada's Trudeau knew it 👌

It’s very funny to me that people who leave the Labour Party whether from the left or the right will invariably define everything they do again in relation to the Labour Party including trying to replicate some of its most toxic internal dynamics wherever they go
The Green party’s time is now, but it needs to stop being polite – and start picking some fights | Owen Jones
You only need look at its dire social media presence to see where this party, so full of potential, is going wrong, says Guardian columnist Owen Jones

Excellent watching @jadeazim.bsky.social on GB News explaining why we shouldn't take instructions from the world's richest man on when to call an election. Frightening that there are those opposed to that view.

There are more than 10m children in school in the UK…but, per Times, 3,000 might move to state sector because of VAT rise…so Whitehall is “braced” 😲😲😲
Says a lot about UK media bubble, the way this story is reported.
You pay VAT on luxuries. Private schooling is that.

Reeves/Labour framing themselves as Thatcher in this moment is savvy, & a good move when defending tough choices against the endless protestations.

Tackling the epidemic of violence against women and girls is critical, and will require a huge cultural shift in our society.

Sigh - classic fact free nonsense. ‘news’ story here totally fails to mention that Tory plans were for fines of £5k (later reduced to £3k) for each missed heat pump sale. What @Ed_Miliband has done is to reduce that to £500. Headline should read “Miliband slashes Tory boiler tax”

Sometimes I wonder why we haven't bothered to domesticate Racoons as pets. Maybe it was tried and there was an obvious downside.. but based on the two tiktoks I've seen today they look like they'd be great.
Same goes for squirrels. Why stop at hamsters and rats... Squirrels infinitely better.
