One of the men in this picture is a politician currently serving 10 and a half years in prison for accepting Russian bribes. The other was his boss and doesn't think there's evidence of Russia interfering in UK politics.

🇬🇱 🇩🇰 🇺🇸 Was this the smartest con in Arctic history? The Danes and Greenlanders know perfectly well that the Trump regime is staffed by high school dropouts and people who move their lips when they read, and they know that nobody in this failed administration has the faintest idea that a 1951 agreement exists. So Copenhagen takes the old treaty out of the drawer, blows off the dust, changes the date to 2026 and adds a clause banning China and Russia, neither of whom was ever going to be invited anyway. Trump, who sincerely believes he is the sharpest mind in a movement where that is not a demanding title, promptly launches himself into orbit with a triumph he imagines will win him the midterms. He demanded an island, was sold his own lease back with a fresh cover page, and could not be more thrilled. Stay connected, follow Gandalv @Microinteracti1

A French film explaining what would happen if non whites did what angry white racists want them to do by going back to where they came from. Absolutely sublime. We need this sort of creativity here.

This is not that country anymore. This is Trump’s America, and Trump’s America has exactly one client: Trump. Russia arms Iran with supersonic missiles and he says nothing, because silence keeps him safe. Children die in Odesa and Kyiv and he blames the country being bombed. Every decision runs through the same filter. Not what protects America, not what defends the free world its predecessors built, but what protects one frightened man. The nation that once stared down Moscow now looks away, because looking away is the only move that keeps Trump, Vance and Rubio safe. Russia cannot win on the battlefield, so it kills kids in their sleep, and Washington says nothing. But listen. Europe will never forget. Ukraine will never forget. Japan and South Korea will never forget. Poland and the Baltics will remember who stayed silent, Britain and the Nordics will remember who folded, and Canada certainly will never forgive. One billion people. One billion customers. One billion tourists, walking out of the building. All because of one man and his devotion to the master in Moscow.

Odesa and Kyiv have spent the entire night under rocket and drone fire, many are already reported dead including children. russia can't win on the battlefield so its killing kids with explosives in our cities.

Donald Trump spent decades selling America the myth of his business genius. But his real record is clear: a Trump University fraud settlement. A Failed steak company. A Failed vodka company a failed airline. Atlantic City casino bankruptcies. A charitable foundation shut down for illegal conduct. His real “success” came when he turned the presidency into a atm —all while families pay more for groceries and gas, and our national debt explodes.

Keir Starmer rightly receives a standing ovation from the entire House as he bids farewell to Parliament. He will go down as a genuinely honourable public servant, and one of the most unfairly maligned leaders in modern British politics. He became a target of a new wave of politics driven by hostility, misinformation and propaganda, designed not to strengthen democracy, but to erode trust in it, whose goal is to concentrate power into the hands of those with the greatest wealth, resources and influence.

Exactly this 😐
Pity they didn’t appreciate him here. The MSM told the electorate to hate him and they dutifully followed.

French President Macron praises outgoing British Prime Minister Keir Starmer after the Bastille Day Parade saying how much the coalition, Europe and Ukraine owes him: "And I would like to take this opportunity to reiterate how proud we were to work with him, and how much this coalition of volunteers owes him, and how much the commitment of Europeans to stand alongside Ukraine owes him" "Thank you Prime Minister"

🇬🇧 🇪🇺 Nick Clegg on Brexit “One of the tragedies of Brexit - we voted to go it alone almost exactly at the point in history when going it alone makes less sense than ever, as the world has become dominated by rivalry between US 🇺🇸 and China 🇨🇳 “We are poorer, weaker, less safe, and, here’s the great irony, less sovereign.” “The promise that Brexit would allow us to take back control has instead left us with less control over our destiny than, I would argue, at any time in the last several centuries.”

🚨 Neil Kinnock lays out the scale of Brexit’s damage. • GDP 6–8% lower than it otherwise would have been. • Tens of billions less in public revenue for the NHS, schools and other services. • Business investment down. • Trade with the EU hit, with thousands of SMEs giving up exporting bc of the cost/bureaucracy. “The damage goes on… and it won’t stop until we’ve got an entirely different relationship.” ✅ Kinnock is right to call for Britain to apply to rejoin the European Union. How much longer can Britain afford the economic cost of Brexit?

👏 @piersmorgan on fine form, calls it straight: “Brexit has been a pretty well unmitigated disaster.” It triggered the political chaos that’s given us seven Prime Ministers in ten years He pins primary responsibility on Nigel Farage, the “snake oil salesman” who sold impossible promises. Morgan’s advice for @andyburnham. Call a referendum to rejoin the EU. He believes it would be a landslide because the country now knows the truth

Sir John Major, "Brexit has been very damaging" "Most people think of the economic damage, but that's only part of the argument" "It has as a country made us weaker, more isolated" "Before Brexit we were the principle ally of the US, that's debatable now" "We were also a leading member of the European Union that had 500 million people" "Both of those have gone' "We're now 70 million in a world of 9.5 billion" "And we have considerably less clout, and friendship in times of difficulty, than we had before"
