You would think that would trigger some of the left to pause for thought, but that's giving for too much credit to a part of political Britain that has long ceased caring.

Excellent summary here. Right on the money.

Stop insulting Neville Chamberlain by comparing him to Marjorie Green

Europeans aren't poor. They are illiquid. Much of Europe's wealth is stored in safe streets, nice parks, public transit, 'free' healthcare, etc. which, it turns out, are too socially expensive for Americans to maintain. Americans take the money instead. The rest is only natural.

Why does the US organise a missile wall for Israel, but not Ukraine?
And not just the US — France, and Arab states were also involved.

I couldn't agree more. My plan for fixing the Foreign Office involves telling staff to get out of the office and away from the computer, also from internal meetings (and 'trainings'), and instead 1) learn languages. 2) read books. 3) go to places 4) talk to people.

I’ve got to be honest, I’ve lost friends since October 7th and it does hurt. But what I can’t get past is the unrestrained nastiness I’ve experienced from people I thought were on my own side. Needly personal and vitriolic, and from people I actually know.

Is this how they’ve…

Good Lord. The arrogance of this blowhard to think he has even an ounce of the nous to opine on anything Ukraine.

🇺🇸 'I'm right where I want to be.'
B-17 pilot, Robert 'Rosie' Rosenthal, not only volunteered to fly, but instead of going home after completing 25 missions, requested to continue and flew another 27.

'I'm a Jew, but it wasn't just that. Hitler was a menace to decent people…

HUGE thanks for your donations. I met Ukrainian recruits twice last week. In UK, and also crossing into Ukraine. They are young, tense, determined. If you're middle-aged, they are the same age as our children. They're not just fighting for Ukraine but also for us. PLEASE do give.

“Instead of hearing and understanding Russia’s key demands…”

1. We understand Russia. We do.
2. That’s why we don’t pay any attention at all to your demands
3. Here are OUR demands:

- Stop invading and harassing your neighbors.
- Get your genocidal orcs out of Ukraine.
- Stop…

No real opinion on the Elgin Marbles so I’ll do what I always do in such circumstances - I’ll wait to hear what James O’Brien thinks. If he thinks they should go back, we hold on to them with every fibre of our being.

Walk away from this one gracefully Yanis. You’ve lost. Badly.

Props. Well said that man. Hawley is an absolute nugget.

But Owen Jones says this can’t be happening?

Can we PLEASE stop claiming that the UK's economy will soon be overtaken by Poland?
Or that this is a sign of how Britain is doing uniquely badly at the moment?
Not only is it quite offensive to Poland, it's also quite a meaningless statistic...

Fairest summary of the Farage / Coutts farrago I’ve seen to date.

Never write much about the failure of the Russian offensive do you Max? Kyiv in there days? Medvedchuk in power in ten? One year to take Bakhmut? Yeah you’ve backed a fecking winner there … nugget.
