Sometimes friends and allies need to be called out when they are wrong. That’s what true friendship is. Whether it’s a ‘negotiation tactic’ or something more sinister, @realDonaldTrump is wrong.
Stand with Ukraine, stand with democracy. 🇬🇧🤝🇺🇦
It was a pleasure to be part of the British American Project’s 2024 conference celebrating the Special Relationship & the people that make transatlantic relations so powerful. 🇬🇧❤️🇺🇸
British society is being assaulted by two forces.
First, by a meek liberal consensus at the top of society. As well as pathetic coverage of integration issues, it shamefully handled the Israel-Gaza protests and denied the role of Islamism in the murder of Sir David Amess.
Second, by a cowardly nascent racism at the bottom. It revelled in a made-up story about the murderer of little girls, leading to violence on the streets of Southport last night. It is lazy, disgusting, and hateful.
People only seem capable of criticising one and not the other.
Until we have the ability to call out both, the lives of the innocent will be insulted rather than honoured.
