Reform UK, which has a grand total of four MPs, was just given an uninterrupted platform for an hour and a half on the BBC and Sky News channels, in order to talk about its plans for mass deportations
When was the last time the Greens (with four MPs) or the Lib Dems (with 72) were given the same?

A million people marched against the illegal war in Iraq and they were right.
Now the same script is playing out again. Same lies, same institutions, same push for war.
We can’t let history repeat itself.

It’s been a windy and rainy week in beautiful Abermaw (Barmouth) with the odd sunny day, but we’ve been listening to an episode a day of @sturdyalex.bsky.social’s @alexpodyssey.bsky.social podcast with this view of the Mawddach estuary and Cadair Idris, and it’s been wonderful

Hard agree. Putin is only interested in restoring Russian imperialism. Would fully expect further war/military action by Ru in a few years after a period of regrouping.
"Russia cannot be trusted."
Sir Richard Shirreff, Nato's former deputy supreme commander for Europe, tells @krishgm.bsky.social that Russia will "stage an attack" and then "claim victimhood".

This feels like it’s straight out of a Kremlin playbook: hijack Zelenskyy and use the falling out as a pretext for removing civil and military aid.
⚡️ Trump to discuss potential suspension, cancellation of military aid for Ukraine on March 3.
An unnamed administration official told NYT that Trump will meet on March 3 with his top national security aides, including Marco Rubio and Pete Hegseth.

I love listening to @sturdyalex.bsky.social @pimlicat.bsky.social on @quietriotpod.bsky.social. After the visceral anger I felt seeing President Zelenskyy’s hijacking by Trump and Vance, their analysis has helped bring perspective even if the anger persists. #IStandWithUkraine

Cancel the state visit. It shouldn’t have been offered in the first place but now it’s a completely redundant gesture.
