This is quite bizarre behaviour... watching the @BBCNews at 10 o’clock. Watch Mark Francois closely - in the soundbite chosen by @ChrisMasonBBC, Francois mouths the speech word for word… is he a ventriloquist? #Defence #DefenceReview

Next week I'm talking to film editor @eddiehamilton about his work on Mission: Impossible and Top Gun: Maverick, his passion for storytelling and collaborating with Tom Cruise, Christopher McQuarrie and Joseph Kosinski. It'll be a fascinating chat..

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt prays before she starts lying to the press...

Mark Kelly on Trump’s Crash: "This is not surprising. Here's a guy who told Americans to inject bleach into their bodies, who sent a mob to Capitol Hill. And now I think it's fair to say he stands out as singlehandedly destroying more wealth than anybody else who has ever lived on this planet.''

[Jay in Kyiv @JayinKyiv]

Zelensky, thanking America, 94 times.

[John Bolton @AmbJohnBolton]

The Trump Administration and their key allies on Capitol Hill have sided with a cold-blooded killer, former KGB agent, the aggressor in a 3-year war, and, as Mike Waltz has said, someone who is trying to recreate the Russian Empire. This is a very sad time for America.

[Michael Steele @MichaelSteele]

This was embarrassing. It was an ambush of President Zelenskyy. Trump won't answer the question because Putin will not honor the ceasefire. It's not in his interest to do so but it is in Trump's to act like an assclown for Putin in one of the most embarrassing oval office meetings with a head of state ever.
#Ukraine is our Allie. Zelenskyy has said "thank you" many times to the US. What we just witnessed affirms he ain't the problem.

[Sebastian Payne @SebastianEPayne]

Can’t imagine any Tories will disagree with a single word of this. Any word from Reform, anyone?

[Jenni Russell @jennirsl]

Starmer's fawning on Trump looks utterly pointless and humiliating today. This is Trump & Vance revealed; spite, fury & revenge when crossed. Ukraine is to be utterly betrayed because Zelensky won't crawl to a bully. Europe must take Russia's frozen assets & back Ukraine's fight.

[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

Trump berates Zelensky, the leader of a democratic country courageously fighting Russian imperialism, while he allies himself with Putin, a dictator who started the bloodiest European war in 80 years.

Sorry, President Trump. We believe in democracy, not authoritarianism.

[Protect Kamala Harris ✊ @DisavowTrump20]

RETWEET if you stand with President Zelensky!

[David Axelrod @davidaxelrod]

I love my country with all my heart and I've never been more embarrassed for America than the spectacle I just witnessed in the Oval Office.
Zelensky is fighting for the survival of his country, his people and their democracy.
Trump and Vance appear to be completely aligned with Putin, the invader whose aim has been to conquer Ukraine.
Zelensky should know that millions and millions of Americans still stand with him and his valiant people.

[John Bolton @AmbJohnBolton]

Trump and Vance have declared themselves to be on Russia's side in the Russo-Ukraine war.  This is a catastrophic mistake for America's national security.  And let's be clear:  Trump and Vance now personally own that policy.  It is not the view of a majority of Americans of either or no political party.

[Beth Rigby @BethRigby]

Goodness. Press conference cancelled and Zelenskyy appears to be leaving the White House, Never seen anything like this in my many years of political coverage. Extraordinary

[Marion McKeone @marionmckeone]

I cannot believe what we’re witnessing in the #OvalOffice. Stomach churning and disgraceful attempt by #Trump and #Vance to bully, humiliate and browbeat #Zelensky. ‘This will make great television.’ It will - if you enjoy watching betrayal and democracy crumble in real time.

[Bill Madden @maddenifico]

Watching Trump and Vance gang up and bully Zelensky, I have never been so disgusted and ashamed to be an American in my life. 😡😡😡👇

[Tim Marshall @Itwitius]

Appalling behavior towards the representative of a nation fighting for its survival. Ukraine has consistently thanked the USA for its help. Disgraceful.

[Lionel Barber @lionelbarber]

Ambush of Zelensky in Oval Office, taunted by Vance and dressed down by Trump. All pre-planned to strip Ukraine’s leader of dignity - terrible treatment of a man who tried to save his country which will be watched with dismay across Europe

[(((Dan Hodges))) @DPJHodges]

Yesterday we saw the facade. Today we've seen the true face of the Trump administration. Zelensky is literally fighting for his life, his people and his country. And Trump and Vance are treating him like dirt. They're not statesman, they're gangsters.

[Caolan @CaolanReports]

Absolutely disgraceful bullying behaviour from Trump and Vance ganging up on Zelenskyy. The look on everyone’s faces tells you everything. Trump is an absolutely disgrace for this and has humiliated America.
