I feel like they are all trying to tell us something. It’s on the tip of my tongue and the bottom of their signs.

[ALASTAIR CAMPBELL @campbellclaret]

Another day another news blackout from most of our media on the story of a Farage ally in European Parliament and leader of his party in Wales taking bribes from Russia to spout their lies and BS … Nathan Gill should be a household name by now. But the media that gave you phone hacking and helped give you Brexit are making sure he remains under the radar in case it demands their new pal Nigel …

Nigel Farage, "Maybe we're nearing the end of times for the democratic process.. I want to be Prime Minister to use the position to change things"

[JustMePam @PamelaApostolo1]

WTF is this?
OMG!!

I am incandescent with rage right now. I feel sick to the stomach. A US Vice President stood today on the soil of where so many Americans gave their lives to defeat fascism in Europe. He delivered a disgraceful speech that spat on their graves. Not that we should expect any different, given his boss skipped visiting the graves of fallen Americans in Europe for fear of getting his hair wet. The same man who called the same fallen heroes suckers and losers.

As a Brit that loves America and the American people, I am deeply disturbed at the insults delivered by a man who once described Donald Trump as an “idiot" and said he was "reprehensible." Privately, comparing him to Adolf Hitler.

How times have changed. Vance is now part of the most authoritarian administration in American history. An administration actively seeking to deny bodily autonomy to women. An administration pursuing the same mass deportation of immigrants that Europe witnessed in 1930s Germany. Vance is a man that his own president doesn’t even see as his successor.

He came to Europe to vomit his Christo-fascist bile on leaders from the UK and across Europe, in what appears to be a retribution tour designed to assert American power.

The U.S. are to my knowledge the only NATO country to have invoked Article 5 of the NATO charter after 9/11. We, his European allies, met that call with no questions asked. We sent thousands of soldiers to the battlefields of Afghanistan and Iraq to fight a war on the false premise of Donald Rumsfeld’s ‘known unknowns’. We did this despite millions of our own citizens protesting in the streets of our cities.

Our military stood shoulder to shoulder with his military and we, like many Americans, stood to salute our fallen young men and women returning home day after day. I have tears in my eyes as I write this, thinking of them and their loved ones. Our brave men and women willingly gave their all and far too many made the ultimate sacrifice in support of an American led war.

For the record, 6000 Ukrainian solders server alongside American soldiers in Iraq. This, despite Ukraine not being a member of NATO. In 1994 upon signing the Budapest Memorandum they gave up their nuclear weapons in return for security assurances from the US and the UK. These were then reneged upon in 2014 when Russia invaded Crimea. They were told ‘An assurance is not a guarantee’.

Now, despite their friendship and their brave sacrifice on the battlefields of Ukraine, the President of the United States has decided to abandon them and hand a victory to an indicted war criminal, who illegally invaded the sovereign territory of a US ally. An ally who’s soldiers had previously lost their lives supporting America in its war on terror.

SHAME ON HIM. Shame on the man who dodged the draft and never served a day in defense of his nation. He is a coward and I would gladly call him that to his face. To all those Americans on social media currently posting vile insults to those who have always been there for America, I say, democracy is bigger than you, as you sit anonymously behind your phones posting poison.

America might have the most powerful army on the planet, but remember, that same army fled from Saigon after being handed their ass by a bunch of peasant rice farmers, armed with grenades made from discarded US coke cans. Ukraine have been to the Russian army what the Vietnamese were to you and we salute them.

You might want to throw Ukraine under the bus while stealing there mineral deposits, BUT EUROPE WILL NOT ALLOW THAT TO HAPPEN. I know for sure that the UK will not abandon the Ukrainian people. Our aid to GDP contribution already exceeds that of the US as does Poland, Germany Finland and others.

The U.S. is no longer a reliable ally and if need be, we will stand with Ukraine without America.

As for your pathetic tariffs, do your worst. You will soon have no friends but thugs and autocrats, so I’m sure Wun Dum Fuc will be right at home.

🚨The US Vice President just LIED about human rights in Scotland!

Misinformation fuels the far-right; we won't stand by and let him get away with it.

JD Vance is a liar and a threat to reproductive rights.

[Tom Bacon @TomABacon]

For days, I've wondered why the PM was so slow to call in the army to deal with these riots. Today, I've come to understand why; he knows what the far right is attempting to do. 🧵

[James O'Brien @mrjamesob]

I 'enjoy' the clips of protesters talking utter bilge without the vaguest idea of how stupid they sound. But it's important to remember that many Telegraph, Spectator, Mail etc columnists are just as bigoted, fact-free & ignorant. They just use slightly longer words.

[Brendan May @bmay]

No idea how yesterday happened. None at all.

Climate change is ‘woke’ and I see Austria is being particularly woke this weekend.

[Femi @Femi_sorry]

Reform UK is a fascist party!

I paid for a ticket, was silent in the queue, and when I reached the front, despite showing my press pass, they kicked me out.

Journalists who criticise Nigel Farage and Richard Tice, get dragged from buildings or sued.
They HATE free speech!

"Nigel Farage is a total snake, he just wants a seat in power, and he has nothing to do with Clacton."

Tell us something we don't know, comes to mind.

These messages from Conservative MP Laura Ann Jones appearing to encourage her expenses staffer to carry out Fraud on her behalf have been sent to the Police.

We need to crackdown on this and all other outrageous fraud in Parliament.

Rishi Sunak claimed multiple times on BBC #r4today that the voters have voted for the Rwanda Scheme many times.

In reality we haven't been given a single chance to vote on it.

So I will give you one here...

As you watch the Aurora this evening, it’s worth reflecting that you’re getting a rare direct glimpse of the power of Nature. Those charged particles causing the atmosphere to glow came from a sunspot complex 17 times the diameter of Earth and traveled across 90 million miles at a million miles an hour. Without our magnetic field to protect us, our atmosphere would have been lost to space long ago. Those colours in the sky are Nature reminding us that we’re very lucky to be here amidst the violence. And perhaps therefore also reminding us not to shite it all up :-)

Why doesn’t this ever get reported here?
