London, in fact, is the best. I will go to the mat time and time again for my city, and anyone telling you it is scary or dangerous is just a weird racist.
So, after their meeting Putin declared he has “an understanding” with Trump and urged Europe to “not throw a wrench in the works” and “not use backroom dealings” to torpedo it.
No! Ukraine and European allies must seize control and reject the dictators stich-up.

This is a frightening escalation from the Tories and Reform.
You may personally disagree with the outcome of a jury trial.
But it is absolutely correct from the point of view of how our legal system works, and has worked for centuries. Due process followed to the letter.
No two-tier justice here!
The ‘Matilda’ theory of international relations: “I'm right & you're wrong, I'm big & you're small, & there's nothing you can do about it.” How did that work out in the book? Europe can & must now ensure that Trump & Putin can’t bully Ukraine into defeat. More aid, more sanctions & seize RU assets!
“For those who feared the summit on Ukraine might resemble Chamberlain’s appeasement of Hitler in 1938, the reality was worse”

Farage spread misinformation during the Brexit referendum and continues to do so now.
We need to keep calling him out. 📣

"Trump turns being artless into an art form; he is a Picasso of pettiness; a Shakespeare of shit. Even his flaws have flaws. God knows there have always been stupid people in the world, and plenty of nasty people too. But rarely has stupidity been so nasty, or nastiness so stupid." -Nate White
The REAL STORY is STILL THIS: AND WE MUST KEEP IT THAT WAY.

Trump has entered into a new and wilder stage of authoritarian neofascism. No holds barred. Nothing out of bounds.
But tyrants cannot succeed where people refuse to submit to them.
And we must not submit.
Farage is a 'Putin apologist', Defence Secretary tells LBC ahead of Ukraine peace summit in Alaska.
Farage isn't just a 'Putin apologist'. He's a Putin tool promoted by Russia and doing Putin's work.

A Reform UK council leader moaned about Eurostar not stopping at two train stations - but didn’t mention that a major reason they don’t is down to Brexit.

I genuinely do NOT understand the idiocy of having Putin proxies on TV News, like Sergei Markov just now screaming Russian propaganda on Sky News for ten minutes.
We are at war with Russia. When before has UK media ever platformed enemy states who attack our allies and poison people in our streets?
Politico: "Nigel Farage is demanding Keir Starmer allow him to nominate Reform peers to the House of Lords in a letter which makes the front of the Times."
How on earth has this made the front page? It's the ultimate "he would say that, wouldn't he" story
Trump has shown his contempt for European democracies time and again.
Europe must take control of its own security, and spend all that is necessary to secure the freedom of Ukraine and end dependence on the USA.
Don't let Anchorage be a 2nd Munich.

*sigh* once again I am imploring people to STOP USING THE OCEAN BOILING PLAGIARISM MACHINE TO DUNK ON THE OCEAN BOILING PLAGIARISM MACHINE. “LOL I tried to get it to spell blueberry and it was wrong!” Congratulations! You are part of the fucking problem
If Trump falls for Putin’s charm on Friday and sells out Ukraine, he will do more damage to Europe than any trade tariff or attack on regulation could ever dream.

Pic of tweet calling out Reform UK's gaslighting on asylum seekers
Every day, politicians and the right wing media whip up hatred and fear of migrants. None of them say this is wrong. None of them make the positive case for immigration. None of them tell the truth.
And then, today, someone did speak out, and the sodding BBC sodding apologised for them.
I give up.
True, but that 'convenient paper' gives you considerable rights as an EU citizenship. Rights that Brexit, & Trump, have taken/are taking from so many.
The moment he named his platform “Truth Social” we were headed this way.
'Honest Bob' Jenrick, a politician obviously & deliberately embracing xenophobia, does some weapons grade xenophobia & the BBC *apologises* for a Thought For The Day contributor calling it xenophobic. Licence fee payers need to know who makes these decisions & why. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
It is a pity that we can't deport the far-right thugs. The country would be far better off without them, and they would find out what it's like being an asylum seeker. It might even teach them a basic bit of humanity.
Hmm dragging this thread back to Europe, I do like Schiphol due to good transport links and it has a library you can browse while waiting for your gate to be called. Also Rotterdam, lovely small airport, friendly staff and easy to get to…
