Remainer, pro EU and Ukraine, staunch anti-monarchist. Not a big fan of Brexit to put it mildly. Will always follow back like minded people.

This week William did nothing at all. Last week he briefly met Earthshot CEO and John Swinney, Scottish FM, and one engagement in London. That’s it. We pay him more than £442,000 a week. #AbolishTheMonarchy #NotMyKing

Bercow was infinitely better than the stooge Lindsay Hoyle. RT if you agree and to wind Nigel Farage up.

Russia sentenced a 66-year-old teacher Natalya Taranushenko to 7 years in prison. She told her 8th-graders in Protvino: Russia is the aggressor. We act like Nazi Germany. A student filmed her. A former pupil in Rosgvardia turned her in. She fled Russia with a suitcase, Times. 1/

This is a story of an 18-year-old girl from temporarily occupied Donetsk who escaped her home after realizing the true meaning of the russian world. Surrounded by fear and propaganda, she kept her plans a secret even from her own family🧵

The summit in London was dedicated to Ukraine and our shared European future. We feel strong support for Ukraine, for our people – both soldiers and civilians, and our independence. Together, we are working in Europe to establish a solid foundation for cooperation with the United States in pursuit of true peace and guaranteed security. Europe’s unity is at an exceptionally high level, one that has not been seen in a long time. We are discussing with our partners security guarantees and the conditions for a just peace for Ukraine. A series of important meetings and decisions are being prepared for the near future. I am grateful to all our friends and partners for their efforts in bringing about a stable and guaranteed peace in Ukraine. Joint strength can protect our future.

Alright, let’s dismantle J.D. Vance’s bullshit with some cold, hard facts and logic, because this motherfucker is trying to rewrite reality in real time. Buckle up: 1) “Ukraine has no credible path to victory.” Really? Then why the fuck has Russia been stuck in the mud for two years, burning through troops like a meat grinder, begging North Korea for ammo, and losing ground when they should’ve taken Kyiv in three days? If Ukraine had no path to victory, why the fuck is Russia still struggling to take Donbas after TEN YEARS? The only reason Ukraine isn’t advancing is because guys like you are blocking the aid they need to fight. You defund them, then claim they can’t win. That’s not strategy—that’s sabotage. 2) “Talking to Russia is statesmanship, not appeasement.” This is gaslighting 101. Of course you need diplomacy, but diplomacy isn’t the same as giving the enemy what they want. Ukraine is literally not even in the room while Russia and the U.S. discuss their fate. That’s not negotiation, that’s betrayal. You don’t get to sell out a country and pretend it’s high-level strategy—it’s Munich 1938 all over again. And we all know how that ended. 3) “The idea we’ve given Russia everything they want is fake.” Oh yeah? Then why does every leak say Trump’s team is pushing a ‘peace deal’ that hands Russia occupied territories? Why is Trump blocking weapons, stopping NATO expansion, and doing everything Russia has asked for? If this isn’t appeasement, then tell me one single major concession Russia has made. I’ll wait. 4) “People criticizing this aren’t dealing with reality on the ground.” No, motherfucker, you’re the one ignoring reality. The reality is: ✔️ Russia wants to wipe Ukraine off the map—Putin has said this himself. ✔️ Any ceasefire today would just let Russia regroup and attack again later. ✔️ The U.S. spent decades warning about Russian expansion—and now you pretend Ukraine is the problem? This isn’t about “reality,” it’s about you pushing Russian propaganda while pretending it’s strategic thinking. 5) “Trump is playing 4D chess.” Oh, give me a fucking break. Trump is playing checkers and still losing. His entire life is bending over for dictators—Putin, Kim, Saudi royals—he’s never stood up to any of them. Now you expect us to believe he’s some master strategist? Please. He’s siding with Russia because it benefits him personally, just like he did in 2016. 6) “Pearl-clutching over Ukraine leadership doesn’t matter.” So criticizing Ukraine’s leadership is fine, but pointing out that Trump is literally undermining a U.S. ally in real-time is “pearl-clutching”? Shut the fuck up. Also, since when does the U.S. get to decide Ukraine’s leadership? If another country tried this shit with our elections, MAGA would be ready to start another Civil War. Bottom line? This isn’t “negotiation”—it’s a slow-motion betrayal. Vance is gaslighting Americans into thinking this is some strategic masterpiece, when in reality, it’s just surrender disguised as diplomacy. They’re giving Putin everything he wants, hoping no one notices. Fuck that. We notice.

I'm quite irked by the pettiness of this. They say the £4M is needed to plug the £22Bn ‘black hole’, but this harms children (especially those in the middle of a GCSE). I'm forever grateful that I studied Latin at school. Classics should not be the preserve of private education.

UK was on its knees with loss of its empire. UK knew it needed to join with Europe. It did. It retained large influence in the world & ever expanding influence in Europe. Its prosperity boomed. (becoming 5th largest economy). UK left. UK now back in decline. Silly fucking UK.

This is what people like Freedland have been working towards for years: a right wing Labour government kept in power by the threat of an even more right wing alternative. Now they are looking at the US and wondering if they miscalculated.,

This man was the real star of the evening. If someone can let me know who he is via DM or website I am sure @TheNewEuropean would like to hear more from him.
"Migrants, illegal or legal, weren't responsible for austerity. That was the Conservative government. Migrants were not responsible for Brexit. Migrants were not responsible for Liz Truss' failure of leadership." Brilliant audience contribution 👏 #bbcqt

What you have to accept (and it is hellish) is that Britain has Always Been a cruel, warmongering, Colonial Cunt; invading, enslaving & raping human/other resources. What it didn't count on is millions of ordinary people getting a serious education, & seeing it for what it is!
