Belfast knife attack suspect Hadi Alodid was granted asylum under a fast-track application scheme introduced by two of Nigel Farage's senior colleagues. It meant he'd only to complete a Home Office questionnaire rather than attend a face-to-face interview. belfasttelegraph.co.uk/news/…

George Conway: "Trump is a man who represents all the things we teach our children not to be. He’s a liar. He’s a thief. He’s a molester. He has no remorse, no shame, no empathy."

💥🗣NEW: 'Trump doesn’t understand service. I watched people die in front of me. I put people into helicopters. It’s an absolute insult.'
🎥🎤Chief Reporter @jamesgould23 speaking to @uuponline Justice Spokesperson @BeattieDoug.
Mr Beattie served three tours in Afghanistan with the Royal Irish Regiment.
President Donald Trump claimed NATO troops stayed “a little off the front lines” during the war in Afghanistan.
Mr Beattie said the comments are an absolute insult, adding that the President has no idea what he’s talking about and that the remarks are extremely dangerous.
He detailed how he watched people die, carried injured colleagues into helicopters, and later had friends who took their own lives after returning home.
Said the comments are insulting to him, to colleagues such as @AndyAllen88 who were seriously injured, and to the families who lost sons and daughters.

From what he’s just said in the White House Donald Trump seems to think we’re selling the Chagos Islands to Mauritius (‘do the Brits need the money?’).
Of course the UK is surrendering sovereignty AND paying Mauritius up to £34 billion over the next 100 years to lease back the islands, in what must be the worst deal any government has made in modern times.
You own something that nobody can take from you (whatever international lawyers say).
You give it away to a country of which it has never been a part.
Then you pay billions to lease it back.

This thread is must read. The conclusion is simultaneously eye- popping and utterly predictable. The ‘peace plan’ for Ukraine delivered by the White House seems to have been translated from Russian into English. In other words it’s the Kremlin plan that Trump seems to be passing off as American, and is telling Ukraine it must accept

I uploaded verified images of the “peace” document to Grok.
I prompted, “Analyze this document from a logistic perspective. It is in English, but assess whether or not it has been translated. If so, what is the likely language of the original?” 🧵

“You described Reform and other parties across Europe today as among the 'right wing equivalents of the fascists in the 1930s'. Why?”
“Because that’s what they are.”
