The utter hypocrisy of Patel is just anger inducing!
Is this a new chapter in the Tory playbook? Demonise those fleeing war & conflict but head on over to a country ACTUALLY providing support for a quick photo shoot?
Patel, Johnson & Co. Just sickening behaviour!
Truly heartbreaking meeting families, women & children at the Poland-Ukraine border in Medyka who've been forced from their homeland by the monstrous Russian invasion. Our expanded Ukraine Family Scheme is now fully open and today I saw some of the first people who'll apply. 1/2
Buckle up. Come on a tour of London with a difference and find out how Putin's oligarchs hide and spend their money in the capital. Money-laundering expert @OliverBullough is your guide. 💰
Horrible reports from dep mayor of #Mariupol: “Residential areas heavily bombed. The situation is awful, we are near to a humanitarian catastrophe. We have been under more than 15h of continuous shelling without pause."
And this is still ongoing right now

This constant push for a ‘No-Fly Zone’ without having the discussion on potential implications & consequences is utterly mind boggling!
It would effectively be interpreted as a declaration of war between two nuclear powers!
"Without the support of our partners, it will be very hard for us to win this war, and we want to win it." Ukrainian Parliament member Kira Rudik says Ukraine needs the international community to enforce a no-fly zone to slow Russia's invasion: https://t.co/w8u6gmEYGO
BREAKING: A new coalition of anti-war socialists has formed in Russia. In the run-up to the @ProgIntl Forum for Peace, we share their manifesto in full — translated to English for the first time.
⚡️ Poll: Ukrainians' support for NATO, EU integration reaches unprecedented level.
According to a recent poll by the Rating group, 86% of Ukrainians want Ukraine to be part of the European Union, while 76% believe that Ukraine should be a NATO member.
⚡️Nord Stream 2 files for bankruptcy.
According to local officials, the Swiss-registered company responsible for the Kremlin’s energy project has filed for insolvency and laid off all its staff. Swiss officials state U.S sanctions were a death blow for the project.
So we’re in a Cost of Living Crisis, with everyone facing a hike in NI payments.
But politicians get a pay rise, on top of those cosy expenses that haven’t been reigned in.
The system is a joke.
It's not helpful to keep ranting about this, but still: it was being reported fully 14 years ago that Putin had stolen enough money to make him the richest person in Europe, but too many people in London turned the other way because he was making them rich too, and here we are.
The Prime Minister is a liar.
The Cabinet has consistently undermined the values of everyday people in the UK.
And yet, they continue to preach that they are the moral arbiters in times of crisis!
Ukraine now negotiating to join the EU.
So much for Brexit having a 'domino effect' of countries leaving.
We just isolated ourselves on our own continent and for nothing.
NEW: The widow of former KGB spy Alexander Litvinenko has said that Russia’s influence in the Tory Party made it difficult to get changes after her husband’s assassination.
This is serious. The Russian influence in the Tory Party must be addressed. https://t.co/EmO6gKlaNX
Even if Putin is ‘losing the propaganda war’, that still isn’t stopping him from ordering destructive bombing strikes against Ukrainian cities!
The images from Kharkiv alone are gut wrenching. The news from Mariupol & Kherson, heartbreaking!
