I am English and I am not a Royalist, far from it. Nonetheless, I felt (with the appropriately reserved British stance of my parents generation) proud (a word I have rarely used in my life) listening to King Charles, through his speech writers (though I suspect he would not say something they had written of which he did not approve) as he addressed the U.S. Congress as the adult in the room.
His speech made it clear that Donald Trump is a danger to the USA, to the stability of the international community and the planet. His speech may help some Republicans in congress to grow a backbone on behalf of the American people who find themselves with a President who does not care about them but only for his own elevation and power. To King Charles I say, nicely done.

Not a lot of people know this about Nigel Farage, and he doesn’t like to shout about it, but many years ago he spotted a young boy crying on Clacton Seafront. He asked him why he was so upset, and it was because his mum had given him a pound to go and buy a 99 but just as he approached the ice cream kiosk, a seagull had swooped down and stolen it from him before flying off towards the amusements.
Without a single moment’s hesitation, Nigel gave the boy another pound to get a 99, and then he bought ice creams for every single child on the seafront that day. Inspired by his kindness, the child hugged him and promised that he would never forget his act of generosity.
That little boy grew up to be Whitney Houston.

Dawn Butler: "Can you imagine the constituents of Sarah Pochin(Reform MP) going to see her knowing that she's racist"
Deputy Speaker: Can you please stop calling Sarah Pochin racist.

“He's separating himself from her by calling her ‘love’ and diminishing her by saying ‘good try’, to an experienced journalist. Just answer the question.”
Michael Rosen calls Nigel Farage’s comments to Mishal Husain “pernicious”.

More of this from 🇬🇧 politicians please. Why does it take an 🇺🇸 politician to do this? Though doubtless most of our media will focus with “Nigel Farage spoke out against the blah blah in DC today … and now we ask another talking head about the rise and rise of Reform …

Trump's press conference today, blaming the FAA's hiring of women and black people for the crash - was disgusting. Especially after he just threw the FAA into chaos, ousting the Administrator and the whole FAA safety board.
He's in charge. This happened on his watch.

I just read this on Facebook:
Someone asked "Why do many British people not like Donald Trump?"
Nate White, an articulate and witty writer from England, wrote this magnificent response:

Echoing the teachings of Jesus and calling out Trump's cruelty, ignorance, and bigotry to his face, Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde delivers a sermon for the ages. Bishop Budde stared down authoritarian fascism and said 'Not today, motherfucker.' 😳👇
