So the Board of Peace is actually aiming to be UN but with Trump in charge? What could possibly go wrong?!
Quick way to rule the world... and get the Nobel Peace prize too! #trump #boardofpeace #un

Had a brief conversation with one of the flag bearers. Told him how our hearts go out to them in such suffering. He thanked us saying it is so good to hear they are supported and not forgotten. Its good to show support however small and be in conversation, making connections with people around us.

Had to laugh - BBC news just said a Conservative MP has just defected to Reform saying the 'Tory brand is too toxic'!!!
I dislike the Tories but Reform even more!

I see nothing 'uniting the kingdom' about this march! It's divisive and sowing hatred for people we share this isle with BBC News - Thousands gather for Tommy Robinson's Unite the Kingdom rally, and counter protest - BBC News

Trump is not my daddy despite what Mark Rutte says. A father cares for and protects his children. I see no evidence of this.

I'm not sure Farage is qualified to comment on the diagnosing of children with any medical condition...

For Christians, as we enter into the Easter narrative, today and tomorrow are full of sadness and despair. We know the end of the story however and know hope is just round the corner. And I hold onto this in troubled times the world over.

Grateful to journalists keeping politicians to account. However whilst I can read the news (where I have easy control about how much) I suspect my current self-imposed ban on watching the news may continue for 4 years (for the sake of my mental health and bp!)

Was the disaster in the White House a distasteful way Trump tried to save face thinking Zelensky was likely to refuse his deal (as he wasn't going to offer security)...

White house - this is not going well

Doesn't history teach us that nothing good comes from big countries deciding the fate of smaller countries?
USA under Trump is no longer a country to look to for help in making the world a safer place. 😪🇺🇦
