Putin: “Russia is exploring the possibility of cooperation with the US in the Arctic.” Just a reminder of Trump’s lies that he wanted Greenland to keep Russia out of the Arctic.

Ukrainian defender Pavlo Shatokhyn, callsign Shakh, defended Mariupol and was captured at the Azovstal. In the russian captivity he was tortured, beaten, starved — he lost 80kg. Terrifying. But "russia has been fine on Ukraine." Photos Suspilne

Due to increasing pressures, many small and medium sized businesses aren't able to grow or offer employment opportunities. Plaid Cymru is calling on the UK Government to cut VAT for hospitality businesses to 10% in tomorrow's budget to give our high streets the breathing space they need to thrive.

It's time for a Budget that works for Wales. Ahead of tomorrow's UK Budget, Plaid Cymru is calling on Westminster to deliver a fairer deal for the people of Wales. ✊

Horrific reports from Kyiv, Ukraine💔 Local Telegram channels report that bloodied students are being carried out one by one from the State University of Trade and Economics following a russian ballistic missile attack. The extent of the casualties is not yet confirmed.

Russian ballistic missiles struck campus territory, a park and a metro station. There are killed and wounded. Russian terror is constant, they are killing people daily. Ukraine needs air defense!

Newspapers call the tolerant left "extremist" While right wingers with vile bigoted views are portrayed as sensible & moderate Why? Because the media is owned by tax-avoiding billionaires who want no-one to #BlameMillionairesNotMigrants for poverty and campaign to #TaxTheRich meme via Steve Benson

Thank you to the hundreds of devoted supporters who were there to cheer me on at the press conference today.

Elon Musk not only controls the satellite systems that the Ukrainian army - and other European armies - rely upon, he also controls the algorithms that govern a large swathe of the European information space. Europe needs to decouple from this clear and present threat to their security. My latest

Nigel Farage has built his pitch for government around moving at extraordinary speed, declaring a national emergency, cancelling parliamentary recesses and removing civil servants who stand in his way.

What is the BBC's justification for maintaining this level of coverage of Reform now it has slipped into third place?

Solar is booming.

The UK Government promised £14bn for Welsh rail - but we’re yet to see the money At least £1bn must be brought forward in the upcoming Budget to improve our transport system ✊ Mae’n hen bryd i Lywodraeth y DU dangos yr arian maent wedi hen addo arian i’n rheilffyrdd 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

For those in any doubt.

🇬🇧 This perfectly explains how britain operates, and for who’s benefit All the ‘A’ roads are centred and numbered, clockwise, from London ie. All roads lead to London, for the exploitative benefit of London, and its gong, title & ermine chasing ‘elite’ 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Are you YES yet ? 🇪🇺

Freedom of movement = no more queuing at the airport. 'Nuff said.

The shift away from the US continues. Ten countries have now signed on for Macron’s Forward Deterrence initiative, including the UK, Germany and Poland, WSJ reports. Under the plan, France would station nuclear-capable fighter jets across Europe as trust in the US erodes.

Private equity buys UK fertility clinics. PE already controls social care, hospitals, GP surgeries, dentistry, child fostering. Usual business model. High debt, quality of care declines, prices increase, high profits. When things go wrong, NHS has to step in, PE doesn't pay.

There is a massive corruption scandal unfolding in the US, with top American executives abandoning a $25 billion gas project over allegations of secret Russian investment and control. ​All of this is happening just as the US administration moves to ease sanctions on Russia. ​

My utilities come to about £3,000 a year. Cruella claims £45,000 from us to pay for hers. And she'll no doubt be cheering on 'Honest' Bob's plans to cut welfare from those most in need.

Absolutely disgusting decision

Trump’s latest attack on the free press ⬇️ 👏 Good to see journalists standing up to the administration and refusing to be intimidated.

. America has now openly joined Putin in its unprovoked war on Europe. After Nazi Germany attacked Europe it took decades to trust Germany again. Only the American people can depose the traitor who has destroyed their once proud nation. Only they can speed the recovery of its nation's reputation.

Meta is accused of election interference in Brazil after restricting Lula's Instagram while recommending Bolsonaro's accounts. 1,613 foreign-funded political ads were uncovered generating 171M impressions. Brazil has ordered Meta to explain its conduct.

Fallout from the Starlink restrictions could hit US weapons exports such as the F-35. There were already concerns that the F-35 has a built-in software kill switch. And the US actions on Starlink just turned that risk from theoretical to something proven and real. Very costly choice by the US.

Much the same with the Tory’s, Labour and Reform in Britain.
