Donald Trump fundamentally does not understand Ukraine's side of this conflict, calling the war "senseless", as if fighting for your freedom and independence doesn't mean anything. news.telegraf.com.ua/ukr/mir/2025-0…

Pippa Crerar If only there were a way to go back to less red tape, zero customs duties & zero tariffs with the UK’s biggest trading partner and closest neighbour…

On a more serious note, Martha Stewart berates her company for selling teacups you can’t fit a finger into. But you’re not meant to put fingers through teacups. Mugs, sure. Not teacups. Odd choice to explain her perfection #netflix #martha

Keir Starmer visited a Rolls Royce factory in Bristol today where he spoke to us about Ukraine and the need for Russia to talk about an unconditional ceasefire

Hi Shelagh Fogarty agree we need a ‘use headphones’ rule in public spaces, but the kid thing works both ways: my 9 year old reads on bus to school daily and there’s often an adult blaring insta vids & video games. Really disruptive come on Liberal Democrats 👏

In the 1700s and 1800s, English and Irish developers laid out hundreds of garden squares, though there was no planning requirement that they do this, and though they never made any money on them. Why?

So, Netflix , I was going to suggest House of Rowntree but perhaps Quaker chocolate makers from Yorkshire are a bit less exciting than fashionista feuding beer makers from Ireland…#houseofguinness whats-on-netflix.com/news/house-of-…

I’m sorry, what? Occupation and forcible displacement of over 2 million people? And this is announced before the anniversary of the end of the war in Europe, when millions of Jews were forcibly displaced and we all said ‘never again’? #Gaza #Israel bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

My late father’s war in the pacific on an aircraft carrier wasn’t over on #VEDay . But he ‘loved’ it. So it came as a shock to see him, one remembrance Sunday, burst into tears for ‘all the boys who marched, row after row’ in WW1. You don’t need to have lived it to feel it.

Despite all the damage Brexit has done, despite all the lies told and the promises broken by the charlatans who led the fight for it, despite all the bullshit fake patriotic coverage in the right wing rags over decades, the broadcasters continue to take their lead from the same

The unbelievable condescension we’re already seeing today towards working class people- suggesting they don’t travel to Europe or their kids might not want to go to university and study in Europe- is quite something to behold.

Piers Morgan Whilst it’s true Brexit was a batshit crazy act of self-sabotage, this deal’s not in ‘any’ sense a reversal: people voted for the UK to be sovereign, so to ‘choose’, and that’s what Keir Starmer is doing. They wanted ‘national’ democracy, not ‘European’, they have it.

« If one side has suffered a brutal surprise attack that killed hundreds of civilians, as Israel did on 7 October 2023, it does not get an exemption from the law. The protection of civilians is a legal requirement in a battle plan » 💯 Jeremy Bowen #gaza bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…
