Mark Carney’s address to the European Union in Strasbourg today should be required listening for everyone in the United Kingdom and USA.

🎯 by @ellabaron.bsky.social The abuse directed towards RNLI volunteers is horrendous. Solidarity with RNLI volunteers. They are doing incredible work.

Andrei Federov, Former Deputy Foreign Minister of Russia advised that measures will be taken against the UK for supporting Ukraine. He was told that the measures proposed would be contrary to International Law. He said no one cares about International Law anymore, right out of the Trump playbook.

The inadequates Kushner and Whitkoff were negotiating a nuclear deal with the Iranians in Pakistan when Netanyahu flew into the White House and left without fanfare and Trump ordered the attack on Iran while they were talking. Facts, truth, reality and evidence don’t figure in Trump’s fevered brain.

Just heard about the unanimous decision by UEFA to boycott future FIFA competitions. Just goes to prove that “Everything Trump Touches Dies”.

Trump vows retaliation for the deaths of American servicemen that he sent to an illegal war on instructions from Netanyahu. Surely he got his retaliation in first when he murdered 190 school children and countless other Iranians.

@cnn.com Watching Trump at the NATO summit in Ankara and I’m terrified. The man is completely insane, he is rambling and making totally ridiculous statements, claims and threatening the world using words that only a power drunk madman would use. Please America get rid of him.

Trump is holding a press conference at the G7 as I post this. It is absolutely clear that the man is dangerously insane.

Sir David Attenborough is a national hero 💚🌍 To celebrate his 100th birthday and all he’s done to inspire us to protect our planet, he should be honored with a permanent statue. Agree? Join me by signing @JohannaBaxter MP’s petition: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/a-...

Trump is right, today he destroyed a civilisation. It wasn’t a 7000 year old civilisation it was a 250 year old civilisation. No one will consider the USA civil again.

Is the Civilisation that Trump says will end at 20:00 tonight the United States of America. Because if he carries out his threat no one will regard America as a civilised country again.

I’m now more convinced than ever that Trump Vance and the rest are completely devoid of any kind of self awareness. Vance is standing alongside Victor Orban praising him saying he has come to give his and Trump’s support just before the election complaining about foreign interference in elections.

Would anyone care to explain why in the World Happiness Survey by Country the happiest countries are also the countries with the highest levels of taxation.

So Zahawi is not content with crashing the economy and the reputation of the UK under Truss is now wanting to complete the job with that other charlatan Farage

Doge cuts cost US taxpayers $10bn to cover workers’ paid leave, analysis finds. Who would have guessed? www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Trump has no regard for international law - and openly admits so. We can't rely on Trump's America; we need closer relations with the EU. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/jan/08/trump-power-international-law

@cnn.com Every Navy in the world decommissioned Battleships because in modern warfare they became known as the snipers or missile firers dream.

@cnn.com Why would Zalenskyy accept Putin/Trumps plan when the USA and signatories including Russia have completely and utterly reneged on the Budapest Memorandum 1994.

Mel Stride on Sunday with Lara Kuensberg. I find the lack of self awareness and ability to self select facts truth and evidence unbelievable. He said the Civil Service is too big and has grown since 2016. He’s forgotten we needed 50,000 more Civil Servants to deal with the Post Brexit Burocracy

The Nobel Committee are awarding the 2025 Peace Prize tomorrow 10th. This will go badly wrong whichever way it goes.

Moldova’s vote is a clear yes to a European future. Despite Russia’s massive efforts to spread disinformation and buy votes, no force can stop a people committed to freedom. We stand with Moldova on their path to the EU.

England are the winners of the Women’s World Cup Rugby, but there have been no losers throughout the entire Competition. The fun the happiness and spirit the supporters have experienced has made everyone a winner.

Not sure that in the world of nausea I’ve ever heard anything more nauseating than what’s happening in Arizona.

The obscene contrast between these two images.

"One apparent constant in contemporary UK politics is Nigel Farage’s ability to mobilise a sense of grievance among those who regard themselves as English... His ability to drag the other parties onto his terrain is a classic success story of what political scientists call issue salience."

#RWC2025 I think it would be a great move if the Women’s Six Nations Rugby Tournament becomes the Eight Nations and includes Canada and Spain.

I suppose John Bolton should be glad that he didn’t fall out of a window.

Why are the good people of America allowing your President to continue to use your tax dollars to provide unconditional unlimited military and economic support to Netanyahu’s government to commit crimes beyond imagining. If you don’t stop it you are complicit. All of you.

@cnn-news.bsky.social Just watching Trump's press conference. When will they bring on the Straight Jacket.

Great idea. He lives for attention. Ignoring him completely might just drive him over the edge. 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

@cnn-news.bsky.social Why are CNN and other news outlets not reporting that there are significant numbers of MP's in the Israeli Knesset calling for the complete annihilation of all Palestinians saying that there are no innocent Palestinians and death is the only fitting punishment.

Here we go again. Sabelenka loses set, goes for a toilet break. Shouldn't be allowed.

Have you ever heard anything more obscenely ironic than Netanyahu nominating Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize.

I'm fed up with the media constantly saying Trump humiliated Zalenskyy. Trump and Vance humiliated themselves and America with their grotesquely uncouth and oafish behaviour not befitting anyone in any place let alone the President and Vice President of America in the White House.

@wimbledonltc.bsky.social I'm saddened by the number of players Copying the Djokovic tactic of when momentum is going against them they call for a medical or other break and disrupt momentum. Djokovic has been doing it for years, now others are following. Legal now but Should be stopped.

I’ve always thought Lidl had their finger on the marketing pulse until this morning when I received a notice that next week is going to be “Taste of America Week”. Good luck with that.

People vying to take over Thames Water want the Government to let the company off the hook for serious environmental crimes 😡 No fines. No justice. Just more sewage in our rivers. We can’t let this happen! Sign the petition urging Steve Reed to say NO:

Thank goodness that several Countries have decided to stop cowering to the Israeli government. Not Israel or the Jews but the vile Israeli government. They are a vile stain on humanity and the immoral support from the US will forever bring shame upon America.

@bbcnewsnight.bsky.social Sickened by the BBC Headline that UK has won because we will be spared from Trump’s steel tariffs. Capitulation to a bully, never before in my lifetime. Total humiliation. We should have told him to go to hell.

@garylinker.bsky.social Watched Match of the Day for the first time this evening. Simply because I think you are a thoroughly decent person.

@cnn.com Bridget Brink avoided the question re Allied response to Russian invasion. If we had told Putin 2014/2022 that one Russian military foot in Ukraine and we would unleash full force. If we had supplied Ukraine and not tied one hand back things would be different. We told Putin we are afraid

@maggiekat.bsky.social Intelligent people learn by listening, curiosity and enquiry. Average people learn from their life experiences. Stupid people have no need to learn because they know everything already. I think you are the former.

Watching the Ceremony of Remembrance of VE Day 80 years ago I’m forced to wonder how different it might have been if Isolationist America had joined the war in 1939 and not 1942 after Pearl Harbour. The War might have been over in a year and the Holocaust would never have happened.
