Trump claims the USA has spent 3 x more than Europe on Ukraine.
FALSE
Europe has spent $20bn MORE than the US on Ukraine
Trump claims Zelensky has net popularity rating of 4%
FALSE
Z’s popularity is 50%
But the most dangerous lie is Trump’s claim that Putin can be trusted.🇺🇦
Threatening the funding of a whole university because a student society didn't want to host Reform MPs is just so deeply embarrassing. Why do you care so much about what 18 year olds think about you? Act your age!
Virginia Giuffre blew the whistle on being trafficked by Epstein and Ghislaine to Prince Andrew in an exclusive interview with journalist Savannah Guthrie
After the interview Virginia died by "suicide" despite saying she's not suicidal
This week Savannah's mom was kidnapped
Yesterday MPs from all parties condemned the government's refusal to adhere to the Genocide Convention in relation to Palestine, in a debate led by @BrendanOHaraMP Disgracefully, this is the first time in two years that MPs have debated this issue in the House of Commons.
I have signed and wholeheartedly support this Early Day Motion calling for a public inquiry into the British public figures and Institutions linked to Epstein.
NEW: The Mandelson-Epstein scandal is also the Mandelson-Palantir scandal.
MP @alexburghart asks why Keir Starmer’s visit to Palantir’s office in Washington - arranged by Mandelson while his firm repped Palantir - was kept off books.
1/
💥 GOOD
Because that £240m contract gifted to Palantir (w/ no competition)
…after Starmer had an off-the-books meeting with Mandy & Palantir…
…while Mandy was officially LOBBYING FOR Palantir -and so personally financially benefiting from such links and contracts…
Stinks.
Lawyers, genocide scholars, the ICJ, & the UN Commission of Inquiry state the Israeli govt's actions in Gaza amount to genocide - so why does the UK maintain there is no plausible risk of genocide, in the face of overwhelming evidence?
Why does the UK continue to be complicit?
Except
- she left the Labour Party in late 2019
- she was nominated as a peer in July 2020
- joined the Lords 14.09.20
She has NEVER been a Labour peer
I have tabled a motion in Parliament, supported by 33 other MPs from 6 different parties, calling for a public inquiry into the British public figures and institutions with links to Epstein.
With child sexual abuse on this scale, it is unfathomable that other people did not know.
Epstein's victims deserve the truth: who was involved, who knew what and when, who covered for whom.
No person or institution, no matter how powerful, should be above accountability.

Lady in blue, "Will student loans be the next misselling scandal?" #BBCQT
Oli Dugmore, "My three year course, £9,000 a year for the tuition, on top of that a maintenance loan, I left uni with £37,500 of debt"
"From the day I was charged RPI interest"
"Since I went to uni in 2012, the amount of interest I have accrued is £32,000"
"Was it missold to me when I was told it would cost me £9,000 a year? Yes"
"On top of that its a regressive system"
"If you're wealthy enough to pay the fees up front, you don't get charged interest - if you're rich enough you don't pay the same as me"
"The government changed the terms of the agreement, I call that loan sharking"
Fiona Bruce, "How else would you pay for university?"
Oli Dugmore, "How did you guys pay for it?"
"The state paid for it, didn't they?"
Fiona Bruce, "They did"
Oli Dugmore, "Good enough for you, good enough for me?"
Those surprised at the BBC promoting Reform (whole programme promoting them, and Yusuf yet again on #bbcqt ) should remember this is nothing new. Look the incredible bias in their choice of MEPs on @bbcquestiontime during the Brexit years:
Why does he think the UK is now under threat of far-right dictatorship? We are here because of successive UK governments being subservient to the super rich, big corp and genocidal foreign governments. I'm sure he knows this. https://t.co/Xq5tetBC3I
