Trump: I got along very well with Putin. I get along great with Xi. I got along great with Kim Jong Un. I got along great with all of them. Fact check: True. Trump gets along with autocrats and dictatorsβ€”less so with leaders of democratic countries.

Well that is quite some slap in the face for all those who British Soldiers who fought alongside their close Allies when they were needed… he really is a very nasty piece of work isn’t he?

This is not an acceptable response from the UK Government. Keir Starmer and his team cannot stick their heads in the sand and pretend the spectacle we've all just witnessed didn't happen. This will become a serious political problem for them if they try to hold this line.
UK govt source: β€œLet’s see what happens in coming days. Our position remains unchanged. Unwavering support for just & lasting peace that ensures Ukraines sovereignty & security. As PM says, no negotiations about Ukraine without Ukraine. Europe has to plays its part on defence & step up”

This pair of absolute thugs berating, bullying & humiliating Zelensky because he won’t roll over for a dictator whose forces have invaded his country, raped & murdered his people, bombed hospitals, killed children & filled mass graves in the forests. What a vile pair they are.
Wow, Vance and Trump are attacking Zelenskyy in the Oval Office

I for one am glad we have a considered, calm grown up in @Keir_Starmer as our PM at this very fragile time..

I never thought I’d see the day when the US would side with Russia and Putin against Ukraine and Europe. Putin is a war criminal. He’s a thug. He’s a cheat. He’s a murderer. Trump should be ashamed of himself.

"Migrants, illegal or legal, weren't responsible for austerity. That was the Conservative government. Migrants were not responsible for Brexit. Migrants were not responsible for Liz Truss' failure of leadership." Brilliant audience contribution πŸ‘ #bbcqt

The media have hounded Angela Rayner, Rachel Reeves and Louise Haigh Now that Louise has resigned over a spent conviction, will they go for @KemiBadenoch for her illegal hacking of Harriet Harmen’s computer? Unless of course it is a right -wing campaign against Labour womenπŸ€”

β€œBoris Johnson’s government blocked a request to fund another 10,000 hospital beds at the height of the Covid pandemic.” When we bemoan the long waiting lists and missed routine treatments, remember that this is part of the reason. buff.ly/3CnXG1M

Shame on Rishi Sunak and Boris Johnson, who refused to provide 10,000 extra NHS beds to help manage covid and to bring down waiting lists. Instead, they wanted more use of the private sector. Absolutely disgraceful and disgusting decision making at the start of the pandemic #CovidInquiry Jacqueline Carey, "In July 2020 NHS England sought 10,000 non temporary beds, to deal with recovery and future surges" "You go on to say the request for the funding was not approved by Rishi Sunak and Boris Johnson" "Why did you need 10,000 extra beds in the NHS?" Amanda Pritchard, CEO NHS England, "We wanted to do both covid and non-covid work" Jacqueline Carey, "And the Prime Minister Boris Johnson's office was involved in the decision to refuse, they wanted more use of Nightingales and the independent sector" "What were the consequences of Rishi Sunak and Boris Johnson refusing those 10,000 beds?" Amanda Pritchard, "It was disappointing.. We could have been in a different position.. We could have treated thousands of more patients as well as being more resilient going into the second wave.. We would be in a very different position now"

Sophy Ridge, "Some people say Trump tariffs could be a big benefit of Brexit.. This is the time for the UK to get in there, get the free trade deal with the US" Alastair Campbell, "Oh please.. We're eight years on.. I'm still to see one of these benefits flying around.. I haven't seen any yet" "I see that is the line they're running that this will give us one of the great trade deals that Boris Johnson promised but never did"
