This is what russian "defenders of Christianity" and "traditional values" did to the church in Kramatorsk yesterday.
Everyone must see this church, as it unmasks russian lies perfectly!
On the 25th anniversary of 9/11, we remember the nearly 3,000 people who were killed, including 67 Britons.
My thoughts are with all those who lost friends and family members that terrible day. Time may pass, but I know the grief is still felt just as deeply today.
On this anniversary, we must remember that hatred and fear did not have the last word on 9/11. The terrorists sought to weaken and divide America, and everyone who believes in the values our countries share.
But our response was clear: those who seek to destroy our way of life will never win.
I saw that same defiance in Greater Manchester. When I was Mayor, Manchester was the victim of two horrific terrorist attacks. I will never forget the messages of support and friendship from people across America who knew better than anyone the suffering of our city.
Some of the children of those killed in the 9/11 attacks wrote to the families of the people killed in Manchester, and they said this: We are you and you are us. We are one.
We will never forget these terrible events, but we refuse to be defined by them. Terror still knocks on the door of democracy, but the United Kingdom and the United States stand together in memory of those we lost, and in defence of the values we cherish.
We are you and you are us. And we will prevail.
When this chap, probably the most informed individual in the world with regard to Russian corruption and 'black ops', tells you Farage, Banks, Reform and co. are Russian assets......it's time to pay proper attention
For those that missed any of it, you can watch all of last night's @BBCTwo Paul Heaton night on @BBCiPlayer or by visiting the following link https://t.co/Je9TyeKcnY
No. 10 North? Manchester. G20? Manchester. Olympic bid? Manchester.
Centralising everything somewhere else that’s thriving is not ‘growth in every postcode’, it’s patronage.
Time to fight for our region and a true vision for decentralisation.

The Secret Wealth Garden: how clueless, unquestioning local councils have stored 100s of £billions in their pension funds, whilst cutting services &hiking council tax. https://t.co/92RDvtfM57 Now 100s of £billions in surplus, these surpluses will never pay out a penny in pensions, ever and are legally and beneficially taxpayers' assets. And handing over £2.2 billion a year of taxpayers' money to investment bankers, when it could have been done massively better, and for 1/10 of the price.
Today, Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine has become as long as the entirety of World War I.
And Russia is still no more capable of defeating Ukraine than it was in 2022, 2023, 2024, or 2025,
And it never will be. That question has already been settled.
My recent interview with @edjames_ on BBC Radio WM. The continuing presence of Labour Govt Commissioners in Birmingham has subverted democracy at the ballot box. Starmer's Labour still runs the city.
They've been here for 3 yrs, &have been out of their depth from day one. Voting Brummies made a judgment about them too.
They came due to a 'bankruptcy' declaration by officers now widely accepted as a false judgement from extreme incompetence, misinformation and legal misadvice, which shamed the city and did irreparable damage to its reputation around the world.
The commissioners have shown their shameful failure over 3 yrs &must leave or be withdrawn. Chief officer Roney should be allowed to get on with her job without them: she has more experience than the lot of them put together.
None of them had the professional or life experience to be able to do this job, and Birmingham shouldn't have been taking advice from them.
And Birmingham should ask for its likely £4 million back for their always woeful advice.
Begone.

Completely unserious, hypocritical and transparent comment from the Labour group leader.
You can’t refuse to join a stable coalition and then whinge from the sidelines when the resulting coalition might not be stable.
This week alone:
DOJ opens an investigation into the woman Trump raped.
The White House is caught steering a $620 million contract to Don Jr.’s firm.
The Pentagon hands out a $10 billion contract after Trump buys stock in the company.
Foreign governments are caught funneling hundreds of millions into a random JPMorgan account tied to Trump’s “Board of Peace” with no oversight.
It’s just Thursday.
The corruption isn’t hidden anymore. It’s happening out in the open.
@ITVCentral Pretty poor that @BrumLabour, having brought @BhamCityCouncil to its lowest point in the city’s history, is now abdicating responsibility for the city’s critical plight.
Whoever runs Birmingham on Monday go into every single constituency, find 1 project people see every day and fix it.
You could start with scars on our high street caused by crappy developers like Kingsway Cinema in Kings Heath. Be aggressive. Fix something people see every day.
@James4Harborne@martinibrooks Sad to see you were not successful, but hopefully @martinibrooks can bring some sense and accountability to the new rainbow Birmingham council.
Honoured to have been asked by @martinibrooks to be his running mate early last year having previously worked together on the Harborne Day Centre campaign. Since then, we’ve faced many challenges across Harborne with public services under threat of closure.
On 7th May, Harborne residents can choose to vote for a team that works all year round for Harborne.
