This is the simple answer to Trump’s threat of cutting off US military aid for Ukraine. Confiscate the frozen $300 billion of Russian central bank reserves held in the west and use them for the defence of Ukraine. I don’t know why the UK and EU have been so resistant. It’s a no brainer

[Sir William Browder KCMG @Billbrowder]

Now that Trump has been elected, US military aid for Ukraine will soon dry up. If we have any intention of not letting Putin win, the EU and UK must now seize the $300 billion of Russian central bank reserves and use that money to support Ukraine. https://t.co/vMnjYodwJP

(🧵) ELECTION THREAD: I’ve been waiting all night to say anything substantive about what’s happened, as I felt—I still do—that I might say something I’d regret.

I hope you’ll consider following along as I try to process this with you all, and try to do it responsibly. Please RT.

This is how dictators destroy free nations. They threaten those who speak against them with death. We cannot entrust our country and our freedom to a petty, vindictive, cruel, unstable man who wants to be a tyrant. #Womenwillnotbesilenced #VoteKamala

On days when I feel I’m wading through mud I remember to thank my lucky stars that I’m not trying to raise my daughter in Afghanistan… #LetHerLearn @savechildrenuk @Inspiringgirlsf

This makes me so angry. I’ve known Kev since I was 18, and I’ve never seen him like this. I don’t believe in hell, but these medics and carers were in it, and the bastards who made light of this plague, denied it, called it a flu, and made it worse for everyone, you deserve it.

We've had an explosion of death and suffering in the UK caused by our diet. The government’s Scientific Advisory Committee on Nutrition (SACN) is full of good, decent people but >60% of them have links to the industry causing the problem. 🧵

This @bmj_latest investigation reveals that more than half the members of the UK government’s Scientific Advisory Committee on Nutrition (SACN) have conflicts of interest with food companies including Nestlé, Tate & Lyle, and the world’s largest ice cream producer: Unilever🧵

If my country had a rule that all women have to be swathed in a black veil to even go outside, I probably wouldn’t have gone with this visual.

We rightly boycotted South Africa because of Apartheid. When people claim there is nothing we can do to help the imprisoned women and girls of Afghanistan, a boycott of Afghanistan’s men’s cricket team is one of the few things we could and must do.

[Aja ♀️🇬🇧 @AjaTheEmpress]

How nice that this cricket trophy gets to see the light of day, meanwhile, back in Afghanistan, this is how women are forced to exist.

This is actually a deliberate troll of the nation’s women, isn't it?

92% of people under 25, and 67% of people in the UK wish to rejoin the EU.

She was 15 years old! She was groomed by a terrorist organisation. She was a minor who was sex trafficked by an evil fanatical cult ISIS. She should face justice in the UK where she was born. And yes if you’ve lost children you are still a mother. #ShamimaBegum
