@SouthernRailUK 4.35 from
LB to Brighton arrived 20 mins late. Train after has been cancelled. No updates on line with whats happening, please can you update?
The utter irony of Putin and Trump meeting soon in Budapest to jointly seal Ukraine’s fate should not be lost on anybody. This is the very same city where the US, the UK, and Russia came together 31 years ago to give Ukraine ironclad assurances that its territorial integrity would be respected and protected within existing borders in exchange for giving up a third of the world’s nuclear weapons (to Russia!). Ukraine trusted the US, trusted the UK, transferred all its nuclear weapons to Russia, and joined the Non-Proliferation Treaty.
Within 20 years, Putin effectively ripped up the Budapest Memorandum, ignored Russia’s pledge, and invaded and annexed Crimea. In 2022, Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine finally removed all remaining doubts about Putin’s imperial greed.
If treaties and agreements between countries are to be trusted, the US and the UK must stand by the original Budapest Memorandum and give the Ukrainians everything they need to push Russia out of Ukraine, as President Trump said he would do before taking Putin’s latest call. It is the only way for Ukraine to get its territory back and put an end to this brutal invasion.
If the US and Russia continue to ignore the Budapest Memorandum of 1994, how on Earth can Ukraine be expected to have any faith in yet another Budapest memorandum signed in the same city between Russia and the United States? They can’t.
@JoeyMannarinoUS Thank you for coming and joining the March against the genocide of Palestine. Despite the cockwomble hat, its good you stand on the right side of history and not supporting Israel in rheir atrocious behaviour, funded by your president.
The ICC guarantees accountability for international crimes and gives a voice to victims worldwide.
It must be able to freely pursue the fight against global impunity.
Europe will always stand for justice and the respect of international law.
We don’t need four more years of arrogance and bumbling and bluster and division under Donald Trump.
America is ready for a better story – we’re ready for a President @KamalaHarris.
@SouthernRailUK how about adding more than 3 carriages to the Aldrington to Brighton at 8.15 each morning. It's full each day. Someone fainted this morning. There is room for an extra 2 carriages.
“Nowhere is safe in Gaza and nowhere will be safe until this humanitarian pause is turned into a lasting ceasefire.”
UNICEF spokesperson, @1james_elder, from Gaza.
Our teams on the ground are doing everything they can to deliver life-saving supplies. UNICEF continues to call for a humanitarian ceasefire and protection of aid workers—and the children and families they serve.
This is a dark day. Literally for the people of Gaza as they are cut off from the world.
I’m embarrassed by the stance of our government.
Cease fire now.
