After my talks with European leaders in Brussels today, I can reassure you, dear Ukrainian friends and President @ZelenskyyUa: YOU ARE NOT ALONE.

Andy Burnham hugs Volodymyr Zelenskyy and welcomes him to Downing Street with a ceremonial guard of honour.
This is how you treat the leader of the free world.

Multiple reports from Ukrainian units that SpaceX has restricted Starlink use on drones, without any warning or explanation, thus disabling a critical element of Ukrainian defenses. @SpaceX
Even though Zelensky stopped hitting Russian refineries and is *unilaterally* abiding by the energy ceasefire while Russia bombs Kyiv power stations, Ukraine’s military communications have been throttled by Musk/Trump, as per Zelensky’s drone advisor. @SpaceX

Hey, @elonmusk, big man, are you playing politics with your products again?
As your European customers, we are watching you.
⚡️ 'This cannot be a coincidence' — Ukraine's Starlink access restricted without warning, Zelensky adviser says.
Ukraine relies on Starlink to operate its mid-strike drones in Russian-occupied Ukraine.

It should come as no surprise that Farage would suck up to Trump by offering him the Chagos Islands...
In February 2025, Farage said the UK "should sell the territory to America"👇🏼
🚨Exc: Nigel Farage has said he would give the Chagos Islands to Donald Trump in return for silence about the Falklands
He told a podcast that, if he were PM, "I'd have gone in and said, ‘Right, you know what mate? Chagos, it's yours.
"Diego Garcia, in perpetuity, the most strategic American military base in the world... In return, just please stop talking about the Falkland Islands"

When all this is over, @realDonaldTrump will be remembered as the greatest traitor to America in its history.
Children in school will learn of his treachery as a warning to future generations. People will spit on the ground when they hear his name. His works will be torn down, one and all.

President Trump’s decision to lift sanctions on Russian fuel amidst Putin’s ongoing and brutal attacks on civilian targets in Ukraine makes no sense and is a betrayal of the legacy and leadership of the late Senator Lindsey Graham.
While Ukraine fights for its survival, Putin’s war machine continues to prosecute his terrorist war on civilian populations and innocent Ukrainians are dying every day.
Now, Instead of implementing the tough sanctions Lindsey Graham fought to his last breath to enact, President Trump has announced the United States is lifting sanctions on Russian energy, fueling the Putin’s war machine.
As I saw firsthand in Ukraine last month, Putin is losing this war. Ukraine has fought the Russian military to a standstill and reinvented warfare with drones taking the fight into the heart of Russia.
America should not be throwing a lifeline to Putin’s war machine. Now is the time to stand strong against Russian aggression as we did during the first Trump administration.
Putin doesn’t want peace. Putin wants Ukraine. I have no doubt that if Putin overruns Ukraine, it will only be a matter of time until Russia’s military crosses a border that our troops will have to deal with him.
America is the Leader of the Free World. For our National Security, for the security of our Allies in Europe including Ukraine, President Trump should rescind this deal immediately and return to the strong policies of our four years in the White House; impose harsh sanctions on any nation purchasing Russian energy and work with our allies to ensure Ukraine has the military support it needs to repel and defeat this Russian invasion once and for all. Slava Ukraini🇺🇸🇺🇦

If Trump really wanted to lower fuel prices, he would demand that Putin end his unprovoked invasion of Ukraine—and help Ukraine win to end the war if he didn’t. But he only cares about lining his pockets and following Putin’s orders.
“An inquiry by Met police, who are presumably better placed to assess this, is continuing.”
Sharon Graham wants us to tax wealth and leave the pensioners triple lock alone….
“The 65–74 age group is the wealthiest in the UK, with a peak median household total wealth of around £502,500.”
…..but still wants to tax pensioners
🗣️ 'Scrapping the triple lock is morally and electorally wrong.' - @UniteSharon
The general secretary of Unite the Union asks why the government isn't considering a wealth tax instead.

Rob Powell - Counter terrorism police have just said all 5 men arrested are British nationals. Isn’t this why you shouldn’t be speculating on this sort of stuff?
Nigel Farage - No
RP - But you suggested they could have come on a small boat
NF - I didn’t
Cue Nigel.

Re #RAFFairford
1.Police can detain terrorist suspects for 14 days, they needed 1 day so it’s reasonable to assume they’re NOT terrorist suspects
2.If explosives were found, they would be charged, they weren’t, so we can assume there were none
3.Leave the police to do their job

Security services of UK and US still trying to gather information on scale and nature of the threat. Either Nigel Farage understands the authorities can't release this information, and is playing politics. Or he doesn't, in which case it underlines why he isn't fit to be PM.

Opinion.
If City's appeal fails then every trophy should be expunged from the records, removal from Premier League and EFL, a crippling fine and denial of fit and proper ownership.
Biggest football story arguably in English football history.
