THIS! This is what @EdwardJDavey's talking about when he says @LibDems won't let Farage bring Trump’s America to the UK. Tell your friends what's going on please.

@EuromaidanPR Sad but true.

[Jed MarsonLD🔶🇺🇦 @jedmarson]

I decided at the end of my weekend in the UK, that I need to face news of Russian attacks on Ukrainian civilian targets. Hitting a 12th century cathedral and Unesco World heritage site is unacceptable. Is that a prelude to peace discussions? Where's trust going to come from?

[EMPR.media @EuromaidanPR]

They are hitting Kyiv in a mix with Iskanders, Zircons and S-400s

[Liberal Democrats @LibDems]

Today, we are calling for a bold new deal with Europe that will make Britain richer, safer, and stronger.

A Customs Union. Taking Britain back into the Single Market. Tearing down barriers to trade.

It’s time to end the chaos of the Conservative Brexit experiment, and put Britain back at the heart of Europe.

[Jed MarsonLD🔶🇺🇦 @jedmarson]

As a US Supreme Court Lawyer Says Trump Admin “Actively Plotting to Establish Dictatorship”, UK should worry. Farage copies Trump's America.

It's why @EdwardJDavey wants none of him. #Makerfield voters tempted to vote Reform should vote @LibDems instead.. https://t.co/2zbphjZkTe

This is a brave Jess. I don't envy your generation of parents in what's become a Wild West - all American - let's place the blame where it lies. The US should have already dealt with this problem.

These conversations won't be easy but must happen - in my case with grandchildren under their parents' rules.

@YouTube. It needs to address content, adverts shown and end scrolling before it's ever likely to be fit for unsupervised child use, especially not on a TV.

Until then, the SM corporations' united failure to act, while it simply reflects every new technology market entrant pushing at boundaries to gain advantage, is unacceptable. Tories failed for years to set a policy boundary. Labour's going to have to come back to @LibDems policy for staging access, so your daughter learns, is safe at every new step and capable of knowing the things to avoid when the restraining limits come off for her as an adult.

In the meantime, commercial respect needs SM corporations to stop business related searches returning pictures of scantily clad women and recreational ads. It's always disrespectful to women. Then we all need simple controls in what we need to be able to designate as safe work and family space.

Enforcement is expensive. The Tory solution was not to bother, so we've rivers are full of silt from fields and sewage released by delinquent water companies under licence if you please!

With farmers we have 'pull' schemes to show how to retain and enhance the soil needed to avoid stranding farm assets in less than a generation.

For water and SM correlations pull hasn't worked so 'push' is overdue. We've given these corporations and their less scrupulous users, access to our data and they've royally abused us and our children, so we must stop them and retain use of the best of their technology safely under our new rules.

There's an interim stage that's not been done here in the UK, the EU has been better.

That's where fines can and should be extracted to hurt the SM companies enough to make investors call for change. Those fines will either need to be in excess of 100% of profits in a year to matter to those investors and C-Suites, or accompanied by banning directors - making the individual Executives calling these society harming shots to risking their job and any future senior management role.

We can go further and should consider a stop for companies operating in the UK when their company standards fall outside UK law and the management team does not meet the Companies Acts Director standards here. Palantir should face this today in the debate about to be brought by @LaylaMoran as no UK government should let that company within 3000 miles of UK cutizens' data.

These represent pressure points we need government to push towards, so bans can be changed to age appropriate and restricted safe bands once the rules are implemented.

I concede the Liberal data point made by several people here is hard to swallow. I don't have the answers to that yet. Perhaps you do?

[Jess Brown-Fuller MP @JessBrownFuller]

Some tricky conversations this evening about the impending social media ban.
‘I don’t even know who this government guy is’
‘Keir Starmer’
‘Keir Starmer, what does that mean’

[Jed MarsonLD🔶🇺🇦 @jedmarson]

@JessBrownFuller Parenting is a shared society responsibility. You're right to feel we must return to safe conversations in SM as we do in real life and that's the point many people criticising you miss.

[Jed MarsonLD🔶🇺🇦 @jedmarson]

Trump must change his baseball cap for hardball.

Putin attacks a 12th century cathedral and Netanyahu Beirut in the wake of peace chats with @realDonaldJTrump.

Monsters don't respect anyone.

Now what?
A no fly zone over Ukraine
Sanctions

@LibDems https://t.co/V3jTndpD6v

[Jed MarsonLD🔶🇺🇦 @jedmarson]

Putin shows his usual escalation of violence after so called peaceful discussion with @realDonaldTrump against civilian and here a historic site.

Making a full of @Potus on his 80th birthday should be the last straw for a full no fly zone but we see Trump always chickens out.

Will he try next to make @ZelenskyyUa give up territory, just when Ukraine is winning it all back?

These fireworks displays don't impress anyone. The Paris team who rebuilt Notre Dame are in Lviv. The world can rebuild this cathedral. But Putin cannot resurrect the 1000 a day of his soldiers he's sending to die or be maimed.

Far from friendly phone calls, the American President should call it a day on peace and help Zelensky press on to victory speedily with better defences, as there's no trusting Putin.

@LibDems @CalumMillerLD

[Kate from Kharkiv @BohuslavskaKate]

SEN. KELLY: How many times have Vance and Rubio been to Ukraine? Zero. Has Trump been to Ukraine? No.

He invited Putin to United States, but he still failed to send anybody at high level in his government to visit Ukraine. Have Kushner or Witkoff been to Ukraine? They have not.

[Christopher Miller @ChristopherJM]

The next time Putin claims he’s defending Christian values and only attacking military targets, recall the attack tonight on one of the holiest religious sites of historic Kyivan Rus.

[Liberal Democrats @LibDems]

Boris Johnson’s Brexit deal, cheered on by Nigel Farage, has been a disaster for Britain.

It's time to rebuild our relationship with Europe to grow the economy, tackle the cost of living and properly fund our defence.

[Jed MarsonLD🔶🇺🇦 @jedmarson]

Hey Nessrs @Potus and Farafe. Climate Crisis is on us.

Consistent water is the answer not deluge and drought. That needs more schemes like US Klamath River to bring back salmon and UK Severn Valley Water Management Scheme for three rivers in 6 counties. https://t.co/5iJGqbOhtM

[Jed MarsonLD🔶🇺🇦 @jedmarson]

If Trump thinks there's any way the UK will increase the US share of defence spending. Dream on. Trust has gone.

Having said that in defence of the UK @10DowningSt must heed @EdwardJDavey call for a £20 billion Defence Bond.

@LibDems https://t.co/XbnukVXTIl

[Jed MarsonLD🔶🇺🇦 @jedmarson]

We will see failure of warring autocratic states.

80% of us resist old men mad for power. We want to get on with one another to share opportunities. But we'll help the fight to the end !

Putin, Netanyahu, Trump - and Xi for his support - they have only shame in their history.

[Kira Rudik @kiraincongress]

Every Ukrainian success at the frontline is to be followed by another wave of russian attacks on civilians. Collapsing beast trying to take it our on the most vulnerable.

[Tymofiy Mylovanov @Mylovanov]

Applebaum: What binds Russia, China, Iran and North Korea is not religion or ideology.

China is communist, Russia nationalist, Iran theocratic. What binds them is fear of liberal language: rights, rule of law, separation of powers and independent courts. 1/

[Liberal Democrats @LibDems]

This is a wake-up call for Starmer and Burnham.

Stop repeating the mistakes of the Conservatives and get serious about funding our armed forces properly.

We cannot afford years more political chaos while our national security is put at risk.

[Rima Med 🇺🇸🇱🇹🇺🇦 @rima_medUA]

While I was briefly back in the US, I was disheartened by how many would say "oh is that still going on?" when referring to the war in Ukraine.

It was incredibly frustrating for me especially as an active duty medic in the Armed Forces of Ukraine. At that point its just willful ignorance. Everyone has a cellphone, laptop, tablet, etc. Information is literally at your finger tips. But instead of informing oneself properly, the choice seems to be watching AI slop, mainstream media, and other short attention span apps.

The was is not over, it has not slowed down, we are still working and fighting for freedom in Ukraine, the frontline is still 1000 km long, civilians are still being killed by r*ssia every day. We can only go so far to inform you. The rest is up to you. Up to date sources, @KyivIndependent @KyivPost @saintjavelin @U24_gov_ua

Stay informed and inform others.

[Jed MarsonLD🔶🇺🇦 @jedmarson]

@LizWebsterSBF A gentle reminder to Leave voters that Remainers agreed we must leave so we did.
Now you too have the facts.
Now we have all tried EU membership with 2-way travel and, a world outside, with lower GDP.
Brexit sucks.
The EU works.

[Kira Rudik @kiraincongress]

I cringe every time I hear "Ukraine and russia exchanged attacks overnight."

Ukraine strikes military targets. russia strikes apartment buildings, hospitals, and civilians.

These are not equivalent actions. And they should not be reported as if they are.

[Jed MarsonLD🔶🇺🇦 @jedmarson]

We @LibDems call for US ambassador to UK to be summoned over “flagrant foreign interference that seeks to fan the flames of division”. As @EdwardJDavey said, the Trump administration is “attacking our democracy, not in secret, but openly on social media” https://t.co/FCYWJUyaTL
