"I have no relationship with Putin other than he called me a genius,” “He said, ‘Donald Trump is a genius and he is going to be the leader of the party & he's going to be the leader of the world or something.’” 2016

Nigel Farage, on what may well have been his first visit to his Clacton constituency has started a campaign to block the closure of Clacton Town Hall.
There are no plans to close Clacton Town Hall, he made it up.
Every child deserves to start the school day ready to learn.
Great to visit Co-op Academy Beckfield this morning to see the newest Best Start Free Breakfast Club in my constituency in action.
"Hope" here is as battered as a stray cat… worn out, scratched, and bitten by time. I write it exactly like this because at this very moment, someone’s loved ones are trapped under the rubble. Rescuers pull Ukrainians out again and again, and every single one of them shows no signs of life. These people are no longer with us. What is it like for their families to find that out, the families who, at this very second, are waiting? They cling to that same "hope"... hope that lives on until the very last moment.
Sometimes, a person desperately needs the ability to switch off their emotions, the feelings that, in these minutes, plunge you into total darkness and an abyss of realization. The realization that someone who was alive and by your side just a few hours ago is gone. Or they are still being searched for, but you understand there is simply no chance left, because everyone they find has already perished. Sometimes, fueled by emotion, I call life a bitch, and this is exactly one of those times. It is better to love life than to hate it, but days like these don't give you that chance.
The city of Dnipro is still shrouded in thick black smoke following the russian night attack. Rescue operations are still underway in the very heart of the city; right now, people remain trapped under the rubble of their own homes. You often hear that karma will catch up with them for these actions, that the boomerang will find its way back… I don’t know exactly what invisible hand or force is responsible for such things, but over all these years, could these "boomerangs" not have been sent back to russia so they would understand: peace is good, and war is bad? Humans weren't given intellect and the art of speech for nothing. Was it really impossible to live as neighbors in a different, more human way? Life is full of enough shit even without war, and it isn't nearly long enough to be cut short by this madness.
You know, it’s probably the thousandth time I’ve spent the night in the bathroom, sitting on the floor and listening to Russian missiles explode, shaking my entire house.
I try to guess the direction, fearing it’s near my parents’ place or my friends’. I wonder if I should call them at four in the morning to check, or if there is a chance they are sleeping through this horror and a call would only cause them unnecessary stress.
This has been our reality for years now, and I’m losing hope that it will ever end, especially on nights like this.
I have a challenge for the U.S. government officials who have never been to Ukraine and, like JD Vance, have only watched “some videos” and “stories.”
Come with me to Ukraine.
We will go to the frontline to deliver medical aid to wounded Ukrainian soldiers.
We will visit a graveyard where thousands of Ukrainians were killed and buried.
We will go to Bucha, where you’ll have the chance to speak with a woman who watched as russians forced her neighbor to his knees and shot him in the back of the head.
We will go to a hospital, where you’ll meet six-year-old Danik — a little boy who lost a limb to a russian bomb.
We will stay in Kyiv, where you’ll experience running to bomb shelters several times a day. You’ll know what it’s like to live without water, electricity, or heat — in the dead of winter.
And only then, maybe, will you have earned the right to give Ukrainians advice on how to “negotiate” with russia.
Here are the profound words from Prince Harry that no one shared!
The silly media focused on Prince Harry's challenge to President Trump.
They ignored his honest eloquence about the clarity that he personally has found in Ukraine—a clarity felt and described by almost every single foreigner I know who comes to Ukraine, no matter their background.
The Duke of Sussex was speaking at the Kyiv Security Forum.

This is not a photo, and it isn't on the front page of every single newspaper in America because it's not real.
The image has been taken from an AI-manipulated, satirical video made by @PaulleyTicks.
In a troubled and troubling world, there are some glimmers if intelligence and hope. Last night’s BBC documentary showing how algorithms match kidney patients to donors was one. Don’t miss it https://t.co/wfdn7meJoR
