Many underestimate the scale of the war in Ukraine and fail to recognize that Russia is committing genocide.

In Mariupol alone, the death toll over just 3 months may have exceeded the total deaths in Gaza over the entire war, despite a smaller population.

Reflect on that

Trump is seeking to undermine British and European democracy and anyone who takes the money and does his bidding should be called out fir what they are
Remember the controversy when Obama was accused of intervening in UK politics? This is the current US government openly seeking to undermine liberal democracy in Europe.

'...which they fear could torpedo Starmer's relationship with Trump.'

Well, that might encourage Starmer's successor into more 'muscular' Carney-type/Macron-esque diplomacy.

This week I watched a screening of the new documentary Mr Nobody Against Putin, about how the Russian state has transformed schools into indoctrination centres over the past four years.

The most disturbing part for me was knowing that the 🇺🇸regime is starting to make the same efforts.
