I’m sickened by that degrading spectacle. And to think the bust of Winston Churchill was in the same room as it unfolded. He would be turning in his grave if he saw that happen.
Ukraine’s people, led by President Zelenskyy, have fought bravely to hold off Putin over the last three years with US and European support. Zelenskyy has shown sincere gratitude for the support offered by his partners. We salute him and the courageous Ukrainians as they fight for freedom against Russian imperialism.
Countries can and do disagree, but the West must show a united front to our enemies.
When Starmer arrives at the White House to discuss the future of Ukraine, he must fix his eye on the bust of Churchill and relay his message that ‘The belief that security can be obtained by throwing a small state to the wolves is a fatal delusion’.
The future of Europe depends on Starmer convincing President Trump of this Churchillian wisdom.
Trump is no Thatcher, no Reagan. He doesn’t value global strength, free trade, or individual liberty. As a British Conservative, I’m hoping America votes for Harris today.
Anyone else woken up this morning to listen anxiously to the news and feeling relieved, prouder of who we are, and just a bit more disdainful of the Tommy Robinsons and Elon Musks of this world? Well done decency, well done the police
I know Biden pulling out of the US presidential race is big news but I can’t stop thinking about how an asparagus fortune teller prediction on Jeremy Vine could be right.

@IainDale@Jacqui_Smith1 Back in February @carolynquinncq did a fantastic job whilst Jacqui was away.
Although you could do a rota of guest co-presnters (similar to HIGNFY).
The misfortune for @theresa_may is that she put Britain’s economic interests before the slash and burn wishes of her party’s zealots. And she played by the rules. While her detractors trashed the rule book.
I think history will judge she was given an impossible hand to play
I've worked with Sadiq Khan and the ideas that "Islamists have got control of him" is offensive bollocks. It also wouldn't have been said if he wasn't Muslim. It's a dog whistle and we should be better than this.
Final plea as a member of the Conservative Party: Rwanda is deeply flawed. It is expensive and will hardly make a dent in the numbers. It is tearing the Conservative Party apart - again. We need alignment with Europe and a sustainable approach.
I've been a Conservative member & activist since before you were born, so I know what a Tory is.
Loyalty to the Boss used to be a key Tory virtue.
As was recognising that those who govern can't be purists or blinkered.
To serve, we must appeal to the electorate as a whole.
