Indeed. And the alt text is excellent 👌

Trump wants Zelenskyy gone. Putin agrees. Neither understands that removing Zelenskyy would not change anything. Ukrainians aren’t fighting for Zelenskyy - they are fighting for their right to exist against an enemy that seeks to erase Ukraine entirely www.atlanticcouncil.org/blogs/ukrain...

The new Chair of OfCom has rather oddly suggested I should set up a left wing version of GB News. This suggests he doesn’t quite know what his job is. But I have taken him at his word. app.prospectmagazine.co.uk/story/75420/...

🔥 For almost five years, Putin has tried to break Ukraine. Now it feels like betrayal is coming from Washington too. But they still don’t understand us. They judge everything by money and power – and forget about love, dignity, loyalty, and the simple human instinct to stand against injustice.

Wow Zelensky is taking aim at Witkoff

I am very excited to be doing a mini tour with Josie Long in November - sadly my excitement seems to be far greater than the ticket buying public - Cardiff, London , Bath , Leeds, Glasgow , Birmingham - hope it picks up www.seetickets.com/tour/josie-l...

Let's play "Guess How Many Books I Sell Today". I'm going to be working until about 10pm, so there's plenty of time for book sales! Nearest guess wins a book of their choice, up to £10-£15. Reply with your guess before 11.30am (and please share). GOOD LUCK!

Abolish the Home Office.

This may be the clip of the year.

Europe should hand Ukraine the most powerful non-nuclear weapons we have in the largest possible quantities. The United States government has effectively been captured by Russia, which, alongside North Korea, is invading free, democratic Europe. We must take decisive action to defend ourselves.

European capitals should now stop talking and instead seize Russian assets in Euroclear to expedite funding to Ukraine Lots of thinking has been done on how to overcome Belgium's opposition. Those plans should now be put in place

If I had a bitcoin for every time someone tried to explain bitcoins to me I’d have a whole lot of bitcoins, whatever the fuck they are.

This is where we are. Live stream executions for Maga porn. Such barbarism is not easily wiped away.

Medieval barbarism

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".

Putin has told military leaders to abandon rules of war, Zelenskyy says as.ft.com/r/2ccf0dd7-a... @christopherjm.ft.com

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:

Happy Kicked In The Head By A Horse Day, to all who celebrate. It's the 7th anniversary of this absolute banger.

🚨 BREAKING: Danny Tommo has been arrested on suspicion of criminal damage and recklessly endangering life at sea after knifing a migrant boat in the English Channel

lol my flight got diverted because of a medical emergency and they landed us in reykjavik in the middle of the night and deplaned us and sent us through passport control and then the crew vanished and then british airways sent us links to book an overnight hotel room but for a hotel at heathrow

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.

Badenoch is a despicable hypocrite.

LMFAO -- Trump is holding an event at the White House right now but there's no audio because the press pool isn't there. The Newsmax host notes that this is an example of Trump's attacks on the press "backfiring just a little bit"

That’s a hard agree from me. I am genuinely astonished at the number of otherwise sensible commentators who still discuss his latest wild actions as if they’re within the parameters of the normal policy making process.

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.

Very nice to hear a sane voice from Piddington. Serious respect to this woman, who is apparently already being othered by more bigoted villagers.

tfw your mum has all her friends round and makes you do "polite conversation" with them but they're talking about really boring grown-up stuff and you just want to go on your Playstation.

The French made a short film about what could happen after all immigrants would follow the ‘white, angry old man’s’ advice to go back where they came from.

I am bloody proud to be an #RNLI supporter and member! These brilliant men and women have quite enough to cope with without being harassed by the scum of the earth. Their only concern is to help people in danger at sea - not check passports first! Which is how it should be. Please RT if you agree🙏

This was the point I emphasised about Palantir when I wrote about tech soverignty - their model is to make bits of the state dependent on them and them jack up the price. samf.substack.com/p/sovereignt...

Chris Mason watching Channel 4 News.

The full report is utterly damning. Farage's policy chief James Orr boasts that they can "easily get away with it" because the Electoral Commission are so "dumb and ineffective" youtu.be/aXut3s90rUI?...

In case this is helpful to the Metropolitan Police, all those exposed in tonight's @channel4news.bsky.social expose, including Nigel Farage, will all be either on or near Stage A of the National Exhibition Centre, Birmingham, tomorrow at 4pm. You're welcome.
