Unlike this man, I have been to Somalia and met many Somalis. I can say without a shred of doubt that they are the most hard-working, resilient and entrepreneurial people I have ever been lucky enough to meet. Any country should consider itself lucky to welcome them as citizens.

Trump: "In Washington, all the restaurants were closing. People were being held up. They'd walk into a restaurant. Like Jesse James. 'Stand up! Give us all your money.' They're eating dinner at a fancy restaurant. All the restaurants were closing."

Such a haunting tragedy: just the idea of school children being engulfed unawares by a wall of fast moving, black, coal slurry - and the whole scandal so utterly predictable.

We were too spineless to regulate these billionaire freaks, so now one of them gets to decide whether Ukrainian drones can catch the missiles aimed at Ukrainian kids. We have failed spectacularly.

In this undercover footage, Nigel Farage's righthand man, Dan Jukes, appears to suggest that corruption, with Farage, is "priced in". Like Trump, he uses politics to enrich himself. Don't let anyone claim they were not warned. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Poland’s Foreign Minister Sikorski: basically calling Trump a liar. “The US no longer finances this war since January of last year. In other words, for more than a year and a half. The US has not contributed a single cent to the defense of Ukraine. We are doing it. Europe.”

Even the most blinkered buffoons must now see that Trump and Musk are aiding Russia and its assault on democracy. They stand with war criminals and mass murderers rather than people fighting for freedom. Beyond contempt

Exactly this. It's what Russia has done for 100+ years. Disinformation and meddling are what Russian intelligence does.

Wow. Donald Trump is giving money to Putin’s war machine so he can keep killing innocent Ukrainians and attacking democracies across Europe. The UK must lead a coalition of the willing that stands up and says no.
