Trump: "Today is Vladimir Putin's birthday. I'm sure you're going to celebrate it. Are you going to celebrate his birthday? I have a call set up." What the hell is wrong with you?! Celebrate? You sure? The birthday of a butcher responsible for murdering 25 people in Ukraine today?

The Russian way of war: attack everyday necessities and kill civilians to instill terror and render society dysfunctional. As in Aleppo, so now in Kyiv. If they could drop barrel bombs they would.

Excellent thread, thanks Pascal. I think your point about a potential refugee crisis is real and very much under appreciated. We can't just keep saying "oh, but Putin might do x".

It's been quite doomy and gloomy in Kyiv since fascist Russia launched its practically non-stop jet drone attacks on the Ukrainian capital, but there are still signs of hope:

1/23 Sorry, this will be long... There is a lot of shouting about what happened in the Channel yesterday. So I want to go back to basic law. Not immigration policies or political rhetoric. At sea, the starting point is simple: Preservation of life comes first under all maritime conventions.

In 2021 Farage tweeted out that they are a "taxi service for immigrants". That is exactly the line being parroted today. A government with a functioning spine would actually not shy away from making that connection and condemning that toad-faced prick

A personal story about that phrase “young men of fighting age” applied to asylum seekers. As many of you know I took in a young Ukrainian woman under the Homes for Ukraine scheme. As part of that process, soon after she arrived we were visited by the local authority rep and a Fire Brigade rep.

Terrorism law is that special body of law which provides for rights and obligations over and above the general law of the land. Terrorism law should be credible and taken seriously. The ever-expanding nature of ‘terrorism’ offences is not taking it seriously. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...
