When President Trump says we need to find a compromise – we live with this. A ceasefire and sitting down at the negotiating table – it is a huge compromise.
Nobody can step into the shoes of all these people whose children were tortured. And you can't force people to forgive. How can you force them when their child was tortured? How do you forgive? It's impossible. I desperately want justice. I just really want. I know so many people had their hearts ripped out, and there won't be a new heart.
That's why we say a ceasefire is the only step, because people’s hatred isn't going anywhere. It takes time and justice. And that's why it's a huge compromise. I've tried many times to tell the President of the United States: understand us. This is a huge compromise just to hold the lines where we are. Trump can bring Putin to the negotiating table very easily. The way President Trump talks about me, he needs to adopt that kind of rhetoric about Putin.

Former Deputy PM Freeland: "10 years from now when we look back at on this week we are going to say that President Trump's betrayal of Ukraine is the most important thing that happened."
"The President of the United States is siding with Vladimir Putin." "We have to be clear."

This is what we've come to.
A retired couple had to spend £1m of their own money taking both the @EnvAgency and @NaturalEngland to the High Court simply to force both of these charlatans to do their job, safeguard one of our nation's most legally heavily protected bits of countryside.
And the environment charities does what exactly?

BREAKING: A GOP senator asked for anonymity to reveal that "everyone in Congress knows Trump's second term is a disaster," but 1/3 of Republicans are grifting his supporters, 1/3 are afraid of Trump ending their careers, and 1/3 are afraid his cult is a danger to their families.

Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) demands an investigation to establish whether Elon Musk or Donald Trump ordered the sabotage of Ukraine’s Starshield communications, warning that allowing Musk to dictate US foreign policy puts the country at enormous risk.

The government has until December to decide whether to pull the NHS out of its £330m contract with Palantir - a US spy-tech firm that has facilitated genocide in Gaza.

Zelenskyy: “Just imagine, there are Ukrainian children who have never known peace. That’s absolutely horrifying.
Many children in Ukraine, including among the fallen, have never lived in peace.
We lived in a different time. We understand what it’s like to live without sirens, shelling, and constant fear.
But these kids go down to the bomb shelter every night when the alarm goes off, and it goes off every night. Then they come back up, and some of them have died.
When a Russian missile cuts short the life of a child who has seen nothing yet… just imagine. My pain is not even 10% of the parents’ pain. It’s just terrifying.”
There is an entire generation of Ukrainian children who are schoolkids by now, and who do not remember what a peaceful life is like.
They are growing up in conditions where someone is constantly trying to kill them. They don't understand why. They did nothing wrong, nothing to deserve constant bombings of their homes.
Russia must be stopped. And until then, Ukraine needs air defense so that we don't have to bring toys to collapsed buildings, where Russia cut short lives that never got to experience peace.

He wanted to be PM in order to be PM. He didn’t expect there to be work. His narcissism persuaded him we would all love living under him & laughing at his ‘jokes’. He was a perfect, one-man argument for the abolition of Eton.

Unbelievable that I even have to repost this.
Elon Musk now appears to have been thrown firmly under the bus, with Trump openly denying any involvement in the restrictions and Rubio insisting that control over both Starlink and Starshield lies with Musk.
Something Musk himself has denied.
So who actually authorised the restrictions, and why?

@CovidJusticeUK said Hancock’s removal would be an “important symbolic first step” towards accountability. Removal would strip Hancock of the title “Right Honourable”
