@campbellclaret We need "yuk" emoji please 🥺

[Gordon Brown @GordonBrown]

Congratulations to my friend Andy Burnham on becoming leader of the Labour Party with a clear mission to transform Britain for the better.
Today, we also thank Keir Starmer for bringing Labour back into government and guiding Britain through difficult times at home and abroad.

Trump wants to tariff Canada for allowing wildfire smoke to come to America.

Here is Ontario Premier Doug Ford reminding America how Canada helped America when we had similar situations, instead of criticizing and taxing us.

*..and the US. People seem willing to recognize that Musk and MAGA are openly supporting fascist and pro-Russian candidates and movements in Europe, somehow without recognizing they’re doing the same in the United States.

[Benjamin Butterworth @benjaminbutter]

Around the world Britain’s allies are thanking Keir Starmer for his leadership. Maybe we didn’t appreciate what we had.

[Dave Sinnett @davegrahamsinn]

@RpsAgainstTrump We desperately need a laugh emoji on X!! Asap please.

[Ed Davey @EdwardJDavey]

The rot at FIFA has gone too far. Under Infantino, political greed has completely broken the game we love.

We can't just watch from the sidelines anymore, the FA and our European partners need to walk away and build a fair, clean alternative from scratch. It’s time to move on.

[Richard Corbett @RichardGCorbett]

Something for Andy Burnham to take note of:
A decade after the Brexit referendum, 80% of young people in Britain want us to reclaim our place in the EU.

"It's not just a security issue - it's also a moral issue. While Ukrainians are dying, Russians are spending their holidays in Europe. " - Estonian Interior Minister Igor Taro called on EU countries to tighten their visa policy toward Russian citizens.

"A very troubling sign is that the number of visas issued to Russians in Europe is growing, which is ridiculous. Because it's not just a security issue - it's also a moral issue.

While Ukrainians are dying, Russians are spending their holidays in Europe. It's just not logical at all. The non-binding measures have produced non-binding results, and it just can't continue like this.

I think there should be a ban on tourist visas for Russians, at least for as long as this war continues, because Russians are traveling as if nothing has happened.

And that's exactly what the Kremlin wants Russians to believe: 'It's okay, it's just a small special operation, it's not a big deal, and we can carry on with business as usual.'

So we have to squeeze Russia really hard."

Boom. Governor Gavin Newsom calls for the 25th Amendment to be invoked after Trump’s unhinged speech tonight. He’s right! Trump is mentally deranged and unfit to be president.

[Angel calling @Angelcalling5]

They didn't even give Boris Johnson a farewell card. Wonder why? .........

[Hillary Clinton @HillaryClinton]

Trump's embarrassing rant last night about an election he lost six years ago made two things very clear:

1. He's not focused on making life better for Americans. Not even close.

2. We should act now to counteract any efforts to undermine our elections. https://t.co/L63hCChOn6

World leaders saw this speech today.
Our enemies saw this speech too.
They are licking their chops.

They see a weak and feeble buffoon, desperate for approval and attention, flailing like a lunatic on the world stage.

What an embarrassment.

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

In Odesa, two people were killed as a result of Russia’s overnight missile strike on a residential building. Five more people were injured, including three children. Everyone affected is receiving the necessary medical care. My condolences to their families and loved ones. Fifteen guided aerial bombs were used against the Sumy region. One person was injured in Sumy, and residential buildings and civilian infrastructure, including a library, were damaged.

Our other regions also came under attack. In the Zaporizhzhia region, two people were killed and five more were injured in an air strike. In the Kharkiv region, three people were injured as a result of shelling. One person was injured in the Chernihiv region. The Kherson, Donetsk, and Dnipro regions also came under attack. In total, the enemy launched more than 130 attack drones and eight missiles against Ukraine overnight.

It is important that every state institution and everyone involved in negotiations with partners on supporting Ukraine’s defense and resilience act with maximum speed and effectiveness. The implementation of everything agreed at the leaders’ level must be accelerated. Every defense package today is not just a number, but specific equipment that protects lives here in Ukraine every day. I thank everyone who works this way, as well as all our partners who are helping Ukraine.

Clear statement on situatiuon in Russia from the wonderful Applebaum

[Kate from Kharkiv @BohuslavskaKate]

APPLEBAUM: There's now a clear gap between Russian regime propaganda, "We're winning the war, we're defeating NATO, Ukraine's not a real nation, Ukrainians will fold any minute," and the reality, where situation for Russians is getting worse, not better.

Russians probably were less aware of the war two years ago than they are now.

And that probably does affect everybody, and that has to create at all levels a kind of doubt about the mental health of their leader.

That Putin seems to be living in a fantasy world, he seems to be delusional.

[Antonello Guerrera @antoguerrera]

It’s truly remarkable how many honours Starmer is receiving abroad while he’s been treated so poorly at home. I’ve never seen anything quite like it.

[Republicans against Trump @RpsAgainstTrump]

Beyond pathetic. FIFA President Infantino to Trump: “You don’t need people to compliment you, but this world cup would not have been such an incredible success without you.

It is the greatest human social and cultural event that mankind has ever witnessed.”

Keir is a great guy
