Orban, Fico, Farage, Le Pen, AfD, all taking Russian money and proposing pro-Kremlin policies. You believe Trump is different, just happens to admire Putin so much he's destroying the Atlantic alliance for nothing? To save 5% of the DoD budget that went to Ukraine? No.

Kim Darroch is too soft on Trump #r4today

Put dots on trumps signature it looks like a klan rally

Welcome to our new 8-episode #IBD podcast, "Wrestling the Octopus" (title pinched from @Crohnoid's book of the same name). Spotify has now listed it, so we thought we'd get on and share it with you! Hope you all enjoy it! 🎧 🥂 open.spotify.com/episode/06r…

Where's Foghorn Farage? Normally vocal on absolutely everything he's strangely quiet now his BFF Trump has sided with Putin

Because Trump is running a circus, he makes the mistake of thinking he’s dealing with clowns. Zelenskyy is a shrewd cookie, he’s smart, he’s a strategic thinker and he’s in a different league to Wun Dum Fuc. He knows this is going to be a game of chicken. Trump desperately needs to show to his hero Putin he can get this done. What he forgets is he can’t get a thing done unless Zelenskyy signs off. Trump is burning bridges with allies around the world and if Europe calls his bluff he’s a busted flush. All Europe has to do is cancel all arms contracts with the U.S., Ask Canada to do the same, seize Russian assets in Europe and turbo charge French, German and UK arms manufacturing. I’m not familiar with Canadian arms manufacturing, so I can’t comment on their ability to join with Europe. France is already the second largest arms exporter in the world. Trump needs to be careful not to overplay his hand. Of course this is a very simplistic assessment. It would be a complex and painful process but it would hit the highly profitable U.S. military industrial complex which would in turn be very pissed with Trump. Zelensky does not and should not give up oil and mineral rights. He does not need to.

It's a classic.

In journalism it's important to reflect both sides of an argument, to listen, to try and understand nuance and different perspectives, to be aware of your own bias.  But sometimes it's also important to state facts, and to call out facts that are not true

To be fair, you don't really need a functional Department of Defense if you're going to surrender to your greatest enemy in your first month in office.

Whatever concessions we make with Presidents Mump to avoid tariffs, they will always want more. The EU is a much more trustworthy partner

Hunt forgot he'd invested in luxury flats, breaking money laundering rules. Zahawi was Chancellor while being investigated by the SFS, the NCA and HMRC. Sunak, forgot his green card, his non dom wife and Infosys ffs. But BBC 'research' on Reeves turns up...LinkedfckinIn ffs.

Dear @BBCNews please stop using footage of boat crossings to illustrate stories about migration. You know as well as I do that these crossings represent a tiny percentage of people coming to this country. It’s lazy jingoistic journalism.
