BREAKING: Billionaire Sir Richard Branson unleashes a SCORCHING attack on Trump and his disgusting cozying up to Russian dictator Vladimir Putin.
This is EXACTLY the kind of thing that gets under Trump's skin...
"I thought I��d never have to say this in my lifetime, but this is 2026, and sadly nothing is what it used to be," Branson, the founder of Virgin Group, wrote on LinkedIn. "The Trump administration has become an appeaser to autocrats and dictators, putting their personal whims before the best interests of the American people and those of the free world. What is it about Putin that President Trump fawns over?"
"How will America’s allies ever be able to trust this administration again when they are now turning against them at a time of war and suffering?" he asked.
Trump has repeatedly betrayed our Ukrainian allies in recent days. First, he announced a stunning deal with Putin to allow millions of barrels of diesel into the global markets, a move that will directly pump money into the Russian war machine. Then, he began a concerted smear campaign against President Zelenskyy and said that Putin is easier to deal with.
The backstabbing escalated when Washington failed to provide its usual early warning to Kyiv of an incoming Russian ballistic missile attack. Now, it appears that the White House ordered a temporary disruption of Starshield, a military version of Elon Musk's Starlink that the Ukrainian armed forces rely upon.
"The slowdown of Starlink/Starshield and the inexplicable lack of advance warning of Russian missile launches have already caused Ukrainian civilians to die unnecessarily," wrote Branson. "How much worse can it get?"
"If one thing is clear it’s that European leaders must overcome the initial shock about Trump’s recent actions and step up to the plate. It’s as much about Europe’s freedom as it is about Ukraine’s sovereignty. Both are worth fighting for," he continued. "All options should be on the table now, from the transfer of frozen Russian assets to Ukraine to the delivery of advanced weapons systems such as Germany’s Taurus."
"Why oh why is this happening? We cannot let the free world be dismantled before our very eyes," Branson concluded.
We couldn't agree more. Trump is an enemy to Ukraine, an enemy to democracy, and an enemy to the American people. When Democrats retake power, we have our work cut out for us. Every last trace of this monstrous man's legacy must be erased.
Please ❤️ and share if you think that Trump is Putin's puppet!
BREAKING: The CIA reportedly pays individuals to spy for them and if they ever try to stop they blackmail them, according to former CIA Director John Brennan.
July 20th is a special date for Space fans. In 1969 Man first planted his footprint on the moon and in 1965 on this date was my first day of planting my 🍑 in the Captain’s Chair on the bridge of Star Trek. 😝
It was the second day of filming of the pilot episode. 🚀👨🚀🌖

🚨 NEW: The Government's planned changes to the UK immigration system:
- Work visas will only be available for degree-level jobs, and the minimum pay required to get one will go up
- Lower-skilled jobs will almost never get visas (only in rare cases where there’s a major shortage - and even then, these will be strictly-limited and companies must prove they're training UK workers too)
- A new expert panel will track which industries rely too much on foreign workers to push those industries to hire and train locally instead
- Companies that want to sponsor visas must create a plan to fix staff shortages, such as offering better pay, apprenticeships, or more UK training
- Student and family visa rules will also change - we don’t know the details yet, but the Government says the focus is "control, contribution and community cohesion"
The full Immigration White Paper will be published tomorrow (Monday)
📢 “We need solutions that empower. That means investing in early intervention, providing mental health support, and trauma-informed approaches. It means creating spaces where students can go when they’re struggling.” - Aaliyah, @Mission44 Youth Advisory Board member
Alongside @TheDifferenceEd, @ImpetusUK and @IPPR, we were excited to release the ‘Who is Losing Learning?’ Solutions Report, which sets out 10 recommendations for the Government to prevent lost learning and build a more inclusive education system.
💡 In our latest article, Youth Advisory Board member, Aaliyah, who was a panelist at the report’s launch event, shares her perspective on how to tackle the lost learning crisis: https://t.co/jbthOy8xyO

Just a reminder if you’re on benefits:
- You are not a burden.
- You matter and give as much as anyone else.
- Political rhetoric is designed to make us feel that needing benefits is shameful—but it’s not.
We all need support at times. You are valued, respected, and wanted💜.
Some real positives here.
But no mention of the role of employers. What persuades them to hire disabled people, to make reasonable adjustments, provide part time, flexible roles?
Without employer support & incentives then this is all just wasted hot air.
