For Kemi Badenoch to suggest they’re ‘just hanging around’ - to score political points - insults the men and women of our Armed Forces. She should apologise and withdraw her comments. (2/2)

This looks like a well orchestrated conspiracy by the US government to destroy Ukraine’s ability to defend themselves. Of all my pessimistic scenarios about how this war would develop, this wasn’t one of them

Ukraine’s ambassador to the UK, ditching any diplomatic niceties, says Donald Trump + Vladimir Putin are “destroying” the world order

Valerii Zaluzhnyi - former head of Ukraine’s armed forces - told a conference at Chatham House in London on Thursday: “The failure to qualify actions of Russia as an aggression is a huge challenge for the entire world and Europe, in particular.

"Because we see, it’s not just the axis of evil and Russia trying to revise the world order – but the US is finally destroying this order."

Why have we not heard a squeak from Bush, Biden, Pelosi and Obama?

[Fred Thomas MP @FredThomasUK]

Defence spending is an investment in our number one mission: growth.

It can create tens of thousands of skilled, secure and unionised jobs in manufacturing and technology.

We can export to NATO, unlock private investment, and secure our economy.

The most astonishing spy story I have read in years. Intrigue, twists and betrayal, this was decades in the making and must surely become a film. Truly gripping. @hendomirror by Paul Henderson and David Gardner

Today while we celebrate Ukraine’s bravery we should reflect that it is also the 3rd Anniversary that Putin sent hundreds of thousands of his own countrymen to their deaths for no reason other than his own ego.

Rishi Sunak fuming about the fact that his tax avoiding wife can't now go back to her non-dom tax status (Mrs Sunak saved £20 million in taxes by claiming non-dom tax status) thanks to Rachel Reeves cancelling that tax loophole

What a joy 👍🏼

@SheppyCENSORED @DailyMirror Yep. When you cannot answer the question, imply you know something that is too complex to explain. Doesn’t work - but don’t let it bother you.
