Boris Johnson endorsed Trump's re-election specifically on the basis that he wouldn't "ditch the Ukrainians". Now he wants praise for saying Trump has ditched the Ukrainians. Ukraine deserves much smarter friends than Johnson.

Boris Johnson says Trump back in White House is ‘what the world needs’

Ex-PM backs disgraced former US president ahead of election, saying he ‘won’t ditch the Ukrainians’

Boris Johnson 11 October 2026: It is sickening that the USA is now lifting sanctions on Russian fuel, and transparently ridiculous to blame Ukraine for the spike in prices that obviously began with the closure of the Strait of Hormuz. Putin is murdering innocent Ukrainian civilians every day. The Ukrainians are fighting for their lives. And yet the White House is apparently determined to force American drivers to bankroll Putin’s slaughter. It won’t work and I doubt it will make much difference to the price of fuel.

If we want Russian oil and gas back on the world market then let’s end this war - with a free, sovereign and independent Ukraine.

Reprehensible. Europe must respond with more help for Ukraine to rapidly escalate drone production so that Trump ending sanctions on Russian oil becomes irrelevant. Market access won’t mean shit for Putin if his oil production capacity is annihilated.

Trump: I have just concluded a highly successful discussion with President Vladimir Putin, of Russia, wherein it was agreed that Russia will immediately supply over 300,000 Tons of Diesel Fuel to the American and Global Marketplace, another 500,000 Tons during the month of November, and 1,000,000 Tons immediately thereafter. Additionally, based on the condition of their Diesel Refineries, Russia will then deliver, within a short period of time, 3,000,000 Tons of Diesel Fuel.
Between our TOTAL CONTROL of the Strait of Hormuz, and this great announcement on Russian Energy, Diesel Prices for Americans and, indeed, the World, will be COMING DOWN, IN RECORD NUMBERS, AND FAST! Lower prices for Americans, especially our Great Farmers, Ranchers, and Truckers, is my Greatest Priority.
This is a very big and important announcement. Additionally, it must be understood, that Iran will not have a Nuclear Weapon!
Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Green Party policy now states they want to end the State of Israel and replace it with one “Palestinian” state. Not even a joint binational state. This is literally the policy of Hamas. I want to end the brutal Israeli occupation and form a Palestinian state because that’s the way to actual peace.

Andy Burnham has broken the taboo on prime ministers being open to the UK rejoining the EU. It's a really important moment for our country. The inescapable truth is that the UK cannot achieve decent growth and fund the public services the public demands without EU alignment.

The editors of The Express are utterly reprehensible. Andy Burnham teared up when having the courage to pay tribute to his dad, just two weeks after he died, in front of thousands of people. And they use it to attack him. They are devoid of basic decency and humanity. Poisonous for our discourse.

Express: It's a crying shame for our nation.

I still find it hard to process that Andy Burnham is our PM. He sort of just appeared and walked into 10 Downing St. But that conference speech was outstanding. Authentic, principled, focused, passionate and deeply moving. These are the qualities required to fight Farage's populist insurgency.

Tonight, Netanyahu bragged in front of the world that he defeated Hamas's attempt at genocide on 7 October and then stopped genocide in Gaza. In reality, he presided over the biggest mass slaughter of Jews since the Holocaust, and then launched the biggest mass slaughter of Palestinians in history.

I tried following Netanyahu's speech but it was far too triggering. I have an extremely high tolerance for bullshitting politicians but this maniac claiming to speak on behalf of Jews worldwide was more than I could take. He really is exactly like Trump. He says the total opposite of what is true.

To everyone replying saying that it can’t happen as the cash goes to the limited company, Reform’s constitution gives huge power to the party leader regardless of whether they’re a director: “All powers of the Board are delegated to the Party Leader who may exercise those powers at his discretion.”

I really hope the donations are conditioned on Farage remaining Reform UK leader because if he falls and that cash becomes available to his extremist successors, it'll be a political nightmare. Although I suspect they'd very likely misappropriate those funds and ends up in prison.

Farage having access to £72 million is a democratic catastrophe. But the biggest risk is this. Farage may very well be taken out by his financial scandals. Without Farage, Reform UK could go the way of UKIP, and be taken over by random extremists - who'll then have access to obscene levels of cash.

My only criticism of the sanctions would perhaps be the pre-election timing. I fear it will reinforce the 'siege' propaganda of the Israeli extremist right. Ideally, it would help Israelis to recognise that the right is isolating and endangering their country, but I fear the opposite will be true.

Adam Schwarz @adamjschwarz.bsky.social · 09/09/2026

It is also true that: Blanketing all criticism of Israel as antisemitic is sometimes used to suppress legitimate criticism. Claiming that criticising Israel is never antisemitic is sometimes used to suppress legitimate scrutiny of criticism that expresses itself as or is motivated by antisemitism.

2233

Adam Schwarz @adamjschwarz.bsky.social · 09/09/2026

Criticism of Israel is not automatically motivated by antisemitism. But sometimes it is. Assessing motivation is hard. Israel warrants much criticism and there are many sneaky antisemites. But those who say that criticism is always/never antisemitically motivated are pushing inaccurate narratives.

Adam Schwarz @adamjschwarz.bsky.social · 09/09/2026

The UK Chief Rabbi is wrong. It is not Ed Miliband endangering Jews but Netanyahu's govt and settler fascists giving antisemitic extremists all the content they need to radicalise people against Israel and Jews everywhere. We Jews must fight this poisonous ideology hijacking our state & religion.

Trump should be talking about the 2,977 victims of 9/11, but is instead making up a melodramatic story about himself that no one on the planet could believe he waited 25 years to share for the first time. And the Americans claiming to be the biggest patriots are those who still applaud him.

Adam Schwarz @adamjschwarz.bsky.social · 08/09/2026

The Burnham govt's actions and statements against Israel strike the appropriate balance and reflect the nuance that's needed. We don't have to chose between 'Zionist Israel is the most evil entity to ever exist and should be destroyed' vs 'Israel is the greatest and most flawless gift to humanity'.

I encourage everyone to listen to Ed Miliband's full statement announcing the UK ban on Israeli West Bank settlement goods. It perfectly captures the anguish of many of us UK Jews who don't want to see Israel destroyed but who are increasingly horrified at Israel's barbarism against Palestinians.

My interview on the UK's ban on Israeli West Bank goods: "The Israeli govt not only doesn't believe in a two-state solution but is deliberately trying to make a two-state solution an impossibility — through settlement activity, through allowing settler extremists to rampage through the West Bank."

It’s really no surprise that the Reform audience had a violent rage that was primed and ready to be unleashed against any protesters who popped up. The level of demonisation by both Reform and its media facilitators against their opponents makes this inevitable. Identical scenes at Trump rallies.

Farage is insanely defensive here, as though it’s totally unreasonable to expect him to scrutinise a stranger offering his political party cash through a family trust more closely than you’d scrutinise a mate offering to buy you an ice cream. Rattled and cornered.
