Tonight is going to be a difficult night in Ukraine.
We’re expecting another massive russian attack.
I’ve taken some medication to calm my nerves,
And now I’m just trying to hope for the best.
Please pray for us tonight🙏
I just want us all to wake up alive tomorrow…

Of the £10bn spent on substandard PPE equipment, £1.7bn of that went to firms who were granted access to the VIP lane – and around £1bn of these funds was squandered on items deemed ‘unfit for use’.
Blood boiling.

Brexit has made Britain "poorer, weaker and less secure"?
Yes, and?
That was always the Tory plan.
The Tory Party are traitors to Britain.

Today, our cemeteries are glowing with thousands of tiny lights.
On the eve of All Saints’ Day, people visit the graves of their loved ones, light candles, and remember those who are no longer with us.
This is an ancient tradition. Every little flame is a symbol of love and remembrance that never fades.
Today, it is especially heartbreaking to see these lights beside the graves of our fallen Defenders — the brave men and women who gave their lives for Ukraine.
May the memory of all those who are no longer with us live forever. 🕯️

🇫🇮🇷🇺 FINLAND SHUTS THE DOOR ON NORMAL RELATIONS WITH PUTIN’S RUSSIA
Finnish Foreign Minister Elina Valtonen has made Helsinki’s position unmistakable: Finland will not restore political ties with Moscow or act as a mediator in Russia’s war against Ukraine.
“We are and will remain on the side of Ukraine.”
Valtonen stressed that Russia started the war and could end it immediately, but continues to escalate instead.
She also wants Europe to tighten restrictions on Russian visitors, including former combatants and tourists, arguing that ordinary travel cannot be treated as business as usual while Ukrainian civilians face nightly attacks.
“Russia keeps people awake and kills families in their homes. Russians visiting European beaches can’t be happening.”
The EU has already adopted another sanctions package and is preparing further measures, with Finland pushing for additional pressure.
Yet Valtonen also defended diplomatic engagement aimed at ending the fighting. She said a recent call with Putin followed talks in Oslo and was coordinated with Ukraine and the United States.
Her position draws a distinction between negotiating to end the war and restoring normal relations with the country that launched it.
Finland is prepared to support diplomacy, but not at the expense of Ukraine’s sovereignty or its own policy toward Moscow.

A bullet went through his head. Somehow, he inhaled it into his lungs. And he survived.
26-year-old Mykhailo “Skhidnyi” from Kramatorsk, an FPV drone pilot, was shot in the head during a firefight with two russian assault troops just two metres above his trench.
The 5.45 mm bullet pierced his skull, passed through his nasal cavity and ended up in his bronchi. Doctors retrieved it from his lungs using a magnetic probe. His brain was miraculously spared.
A month later, he was walking again. A few months later, he returned to his unit — despite being declared unfit for service and receiving a third-degree disability classification.
He went back to the front, became an instructor, trained dozens of drone pilots, and today commands a strike UAV company in the 1st Separate Assault Regiment named after Dmytro Kotsiubailo.
A kid from Donetsk Oblast who lived through russian occupation as a child in 2014. Today, he is fighting for his homeland.
Ukraine survives because of men like Mykhailo.
A bullet went through his head. It never broke his will.

What is Badenoch going to do about it?
Nothing. More important to insult Burnham to try and look smart - without success.

This cartoon is from 1930s. The West was quietly watching as russia was killing Ukrainian people.
Back then, they argued:
"The Soviet Union is not the Russian Empire!"
"Tales of millions starving aren't real!"
"We shouldn't anger the bear!"
"It's the leadership! The people are not to blame!"
Now they argue similar nonsense:
"Russia is not the Soviet Union!"
"All that footage of murder and genocide isn't real!"
"We shouldn't anger the nuclear country!"
"It's just Putin's war! The people are not to blame!"
A hundred years has passed and nothing has changed.
History will judge us for making the same mistake again.

Still waiting for #bbclaurak to mention the #CovidInquiry
and how her Tory chums killed 1000's of our elderly relatives.
Or ask Badenoch about the £billions they robbed from British people to give to themselves and their VIP pals.

“I promised my wife I would come back alive. And I did.”
For 150 days, Ukrainian soldier Mykhailo Rud fought near Pokrovsk, holding on to that promise.
Wounded by an FPV drone. Buried under the rubble of a destroyed shelter for three days. Forced into a firefight with a russian sabotage group.
Then, on his way back to Ukrainian positions, he stepped on a mine, badly injuring his right leg.
He treated himself, took painkillers and kept walking.
Another 20 kilometres.
It was the 11th day of his journey back to his own people.
Throughout those five months, his wife's voice messages, played over the radio, helped him find the strength to carry on.
He made it.
This is what Ukraine is fighting for. The right to come home. To the people they love.

"Putin will wage war. I don’t know when, but he will. And you, Europeans, will be surprised to discover that this war is aimed at you, too... You think that what is happening in Moscow has nothing to do with you—that it’s our problem.
Putin hates people like me, certainly. But through us—in Russia, or through the revolutionaries in Ukraine or Georgia—it is you he hates: your democracy, your society, your freedoms.
Do you think his regime is merely a threat to us? Your awakening will be brutal."
Anna Politkovskaya, in Paris, 2005.
She was assassinated in the lobby of her apartment building on October 7, 2006—Putin’s birthday.
