Alex Andreou@sturdyalex.bsky.social

BBC News just interrupted its coverage to go, live, to Nigel Farage - a man with no contitutional standing in our setup - responding to the budget - a document which nobody has seen yet. WHY

Jesse Ventura to Piker: "Here's what pisses me off -- I did 2 tours, 17 months. So did my brother. Southeast Asia. That was at the same time Donald Trump was running and hiding like the coward he is. Why didn't he join us in the Vietnam War? I've heard him talk. He said he should be a general!"

“With Trump, always assume the pettiest, most vain, pathetic, wriggling urges and you're probably close to what he's thinking." Why Donald is too ignorant and uneducated to ever get it right when it comes to Russia and Ukraine www.thenewsagents.co.uk/article/why-...

thenewsagents.co.ukWhy Donald Trump has totally unravelled over Russia and Ukraine | The News AgentsRussia has done nothing wrong in its invasion of Ukraine, says Donald Trump, who becomes more erratic every time his approval rating drops. Why is he so willfully ignorant?

25 years ago, one Republican president declared three countries an “axis of evil”. Another Republican president has now elevated America to be a part of it.

New in PN: The plot against Ukraine (and Europe) "Trump’s open effort to join nations like Iran & North Korea in aiding Putin’s murderous assault on Ukraine is nothing short of disastrous & will leave a lasting moral stain on the US. But there may be something of a silver lining to this dark cloud"

Trump would have refused to free the Jews in Auschwitz unless their families stumped up a ransom to him first. What’s in it for him? A monster.

“My rhetoric was imperfect”. I am in Springfield, Ohio, a community that has been terrorized since the day this asshole lied about our Haitian neighbors. Bomb threats to schools, ICE kidnapping people, a young boy’s suicide: all on JD’s hands.

Independence isn't about walking away from our neighbours. It's about walking beside them as equals, working together to tackle shared challenges and building a future based on friendship, respect and cooperation. #SNP26

"Perhaps the bleakest factoid is that the US is even less popular as a tourist destination than Nazi Germany in the 1930s." This is a really big deal on so many levels. It's also so damn depressing. Trump really does ruin everything.

New in PN: Who wants to visit an authoritarian America? "Data shows the US on its way to being as unpopular a tourist destination as Russia, & for roughly the same reasons. In both countries, a tourist who runs afoul of the govt might spend months in a freezing warehouse without no legal counsel."

“We're not hanging around for another decade of broken Brexit Britain.” Scotland shouldn't have to wait another ten years for change. The ambition is to build an independent Scotland, back in the EU and making its own decisions.

“Musk is deciding who wins a war and who loses it? He’s not the president of the United States! “But Musk and Trump are now back on the same side - and that side is Russia.” Why is Musk using his control over the skies to help Putin, and has it got something to do with Trump?
