Trump and Musk are pressuring Zelensky to hand over territory to Putin so Trump/Musk can resume business as usual in Russia Hard for the UK and rest of NATO to talk about Trump's US as an ally. Zelensky is telling it how it is because he's not much more to lose. This is a dark hour.

For the first time, the British government has acknowledged that Russia interfered in the 2016 Brexit referendum. So who did BBC Newsnight invite on to discuss what happened? Sergei Markov, Putin’s former spokesman. Par for the course, says Nerve co-founder @carolecadwalla.bsky.social 1/

Menace to democracy Elon Musk has slowed Starlink to sabotage Ukraine and help Putin. So what country will be stupid enough to pay millions to any of Elon Musk's companies when they now know that he may unilaterally breach contracts for personal reasons on a petulant whim? Oh, I know! The US.

Farage/Johnson/Brexiters hate the Brexit Russia connection… this is why… “Isolation from the rest of Europe is the result that Britain’s enemies wanted in 2016. Sticking to that path is the route they would choose for Britain again today if they had a vote.” www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Man who enobled a KGB agent's son... despite SIS raising concerns... says what?
This is just not true. As soon as I became
foreign secretary I asked the security
services the same question and they
replied that there was no evidence of any
successful interference in the 2016
referendum, by Russia or any other power


Either the security services have changed
their view - which would be very odd - or
Burnham is lying about what he has been
told. After all Starmer was in power for two
years and had access to exactly the same
information.

This is how private interests manufacture consent for policies that are NOT in our interest Private companies have extracted £90 billion in dividends since privatisation - and loaded them up with £72 billion in debt It is time for Andy Burnham to bring our water into public ownership!
Graphic that shows that the new report purporting to show that it would cost £105 billion to nationalise England's water was funded by Water UK, an organisation that represents private water companies.

Let me see if I understand this . . . 1. The U.S. is at war with Iran. 2. Russia is helping Iran in that war. 3. The U.S. is now giving Russia money that it can use to help Iran destroy U.S. bases and kill U.S. troops. Donald is smart & patriotic like that.

Q on Politics Live: Why is inheritance tax so unpopular, despite so few paying it? Answers offered: Double taxation; against aspiration; something something British psyche. Answer not offered: Media owners, pundits, politicians (i.e. everyone in that studio), and pollsters would be caught by it.

If you believe this, I have a bridge to sell you. The prime directive of the Conservative Party is to get and hold power. The idea that it would risk throwing away the opportunity merely because it involved an albeit uncomfortable arrangement with another right-wing party is clearly for the birds.
