Disappointed to see this. Let’s be clear. No question of the criminal not being held accountable. In fact, the murderer of Henry Nowak has been sentenced to life in prison. The police recognise their mistake and there is an internal investigation. As is right in a democracy.

Enostavno ni besed za to, kar se je zgodilo v Veliki Britaniji. Politična korektnost in leva agenda je naši družbo pripeljala do točke, kjer se morilci ščitijo, nedolžne žrtve pa se pusti umreti.

Ampak mi smo del nove generacije, ki ne želi živeti v družbi, kjer se spodbuja in slavi odklonsko vedenje. Mladi zato ostro zavračamo politične ideje “strpnosti in vključevanja”, zaradi katerih kriminalci več ne odgovarjajo. Zato smo veseli, da se oblikuje desna vlada. Čas je, da Slovenijo spet naredimo varno. 💪🇸🇮

Today we have summoned the Russian Ambassador. Russia’s violation of NATO airspace last week, striking a residential building in Romania, was reckless and dangerous. Its continued strikes across Ukraine show blatant disregard for civilian life.

The UK stands firmly with Ukraine, Romania and all NATO Allies.

The widespread bombing of #Kyiv #Dnipro and #Kharkiv last night is as horrifying in its barbarism as it is desperate in its motivation.

@WalkerMarcus Poetically, of course! But I love the old Miklegard of Scandinavia. Does anyone still call it Byzantium?

[John Healey @JohnHealey_MP]

Russia’s reckless and illegal actions in Ukraine are spreading beyond their borders.

The UK stands firm with Romania. RAF jets are already deployed to Romania to support @NATO air policing.

We will work with @SecGenNATO to help strengthen that presence if needed.

Dnes uplynulo 84 rokov od operácie #Anthropoid — atentátu na zastupujúceho ríšskeho protektora Reinharda Heydricha, ktorý za pomoci mnohých československých vlastencov vykonali Jozef Gabčík 🇸🇰 a Jan Kubiš 🇨🇿, vycvičení na túto akciu v Spojenom kráľovstve 🇬🇧.

Today we remember Jan Kubiš and Jozef Gabčík, the two Czechoslovak soldiers who carried out Operation Anthropoid on 27 May 1942:

🇸🇮🤝🇬🇧 Over 80 years of friendship and counting. Today in Gornji Suhor we celebrated Slovenia–UK Friendship Day at a memorial to a British WW2 aircraft where villagers saved the lives of crew in 1945. Trust, compassion, partnership and peace - these bonds bind us in friendship.

37 degrees on this warm 🌞 day in south eastern #Slovenia, so we thought we’d shelter under the wing of this #RAF C-47 Skytrain. Wonderful day in Gorni Suhor and Metlika in Bela Krajina to commemorate our wartime alliance and remember the common sacrifice of WWII. @UKinSlovenia

We are tracking down and shutting off the financial lifelines that sustain Putin’s war machine.

Awful scenes in Kyiv and across Ukraine overnight after another massive Russian attack.

I agree with Andrii - Moscow's escalating assault on Ukrainian civilians betrays its weakness.

We will keep up pressure on Russia. The UK is resolute in our support for Ukraine.🇺🇦 🇬🇧

Za túto pomoc, ako aj za výnimočný prínos do rozvoja 🇬🇧🇸🇰 vzťahov bola ako jediná žena so 🇸🇰 občianstvom vyznamenaná Radom Britského Impéria.

V týchto dňoch si spomíname na 🇬🇧 Ailsu Domanovú, ktorá nás opustila pred tromi rokmi a o 2 dni by oslavovala 99. narodeniny.

Väčšinu života prežila so svojím 🇸🇰 manželom vo Zvolene, kde sa nenechala zlomiť rokmi útlaku od komunistického režimu a pomáhala veteránom a ich vdovám.

wonderful story

[Stephen Doughty HC MP @SDoughtyMP]

Russia’s baseless threats against #Latvia and the Baltic States at the UN are completely unacceptable.

The UK stands firmly with our Baltic Allies and in defence of European security - a threat to one @NATO Ally is a threat to us all.

A joyful 🎉 twinning celebration between Zreče 🇸🇮 and Sedbergh 🇬🇧, attended by Amb Štiglic and Zreče Mayor Podvršnik, with music by Lakeland Voices and dance by Folklorna skupina Jurij Vodovnik - a reminder that friendship flourishes across borders.
