At this point, there is no ambiguity about what just happened: Trump has stabbed the Ukrainian nation in the back in exchange for a shipment of diesel that would be a roughly 17 hour supply for the US market. It shows how easily Trump is manipulated by Putin, Xi and other dangerous dictators.

1. Russia is not winning on the battlefield and had to reform the entire budget in favor of the continuous war against sovereign Ukraine. 2. Zelenskyy has reacted favorably to any suggestion of a peaceful deal that would stop Russian aggression. Each attempt of such was declined by Kremlin.

The very first shipment of 300K tons of Russian diesel—carried by the tanker Minerva Zen, which left St. Petersburg on September 22—arrived on the US East Coast less than 24 hours after the deal was formally announced.

For 33 years, McConnell has voted against family and medical leave for working Americans. Then he disappears from the Senate for 92 days and keeps collecting his full paycheck. Apparently, paid leave is only a problem when someone else gets it.

Just watching Rachel Reeves on @channel4news.bsky.social . She relaxed a little at the end, but really needs some media training for a 121 interview. She spent the first 3 minutes spouting sound-bites as if on a stage, instead of engaging with the interviewer. This undermined her message.

Hey @mrjamesob.bsky.social Just thinking about tomorrow's show. Given King Charles is going ahead with his visit to USA, can listeners come up with the perfect 30 second speech for Charles to deliver as his keynote. ? (30 secs only, no interruptions from you) Cheers Chris in Dorking.

@mrjamesob.bsky.social Once again, poor media management by Labour. Better= "Of course Andy is ambitious to get back into the national fray, and he has every right to be; but we all know how essential the Manchester Mayor job is, and he agrees it would be an unnecessary distraction right now"

If you have any doubt that Farage is the British pro-consul for Trump’s Dark Empire, read this story about the rehabilitated Putin stooge Manafort

Ongoing and obvious reminder that firing chemical weapons directly at people's heads like this *is* deadly force.

The White House has been caught. The administration inserted a photo of Bill Clinton, Michael Jackson, and Diana Ross into the Epstein files and falsely implied it showed them with victims. In reality, it’s a publicly available fundraiser photo featuring Jackson and Ross’s own children.

2/2 just the freehold bit, not the property itself.) [ don't rely on the existing freeholders valuation] And 2. Don't forget to award yourselves LONG leases as soon as you own the freehold, Lots forget, which causes future tax issues. It's such a specialist area, it's worth the advice. Good luck.

@mrjamesob.bsky.social Hi James, Not sure when your Christmas hols are, but looking forward to the New Year: 2026. On 3rd Jan 1946, William Joyce became the last civilian hanged for Treason at HMP Wandsworth. 80 years later, Let's hope Farridge experiences an equivalent fate. (Chris from Dorking)

This is Alexander Lebedev, former KGB officer, the close friend of Boris Johnson, father of Lord Lebedev, running a conference in Crimea in 2017 with Sergey Aksyonov - the mafia leader known as the ‘Goblin’ who Putin installed as leader after the invasion

Farage trotting out wall to wall Kremlin talking points. Note also Farage is fronting a gold bullion dealer and a dodgy cryptocurrency. Both help keep the Kremlin afloat. Then there's his EU expenses scandal, how he arranges his financial affairs, his connections, favours given and favours owed.

Having Johnson & Cummings in Downing Street when Covid struck was, just like Brexit, an entirely avoidable disaster caused largely by utterly appalling journalism. And now exactly the same clowns, arses & bigots with bylines are rolling out the red carpet for Farage. www.thetimes.com/article/1b15...
