This should be a wake up call to Keir Starmer. Trump is not a reliable ally.

Trump wants to weaken Europe and carve up Ukraine while cosying up to Putin. Britain and our allies in Europe must stand together against his threats and bullying.

Zelenskyy is a good leader and his service is greatly appreciated but what Trump and the globalist fascists fail to understand is that Ukraine is more than one man or party; even if he were gone the fight will continue to the last Russian.

A new record - on 5 December wind power produced enough electricity for 3/4 of UK homes

At 23.8GW it meant that even during winter peak demand, it was still providing nearly half the country's power needs

Still a way to go though....

Nothing screams “compassionate leadership” like lawmakers wearing noose pins while debating executions. Just pure, thoughtful public service from people who clearly see human rights as a fun accessory. Real salt-of-the-earth folks…

US fascists outdo German SA in Hitler's first year in power, with SA and Gestapo 200.000 arrests of political opponents back then. ICE is at 220.000 people, many of whom having disappeared without a trace, 75.000 without any criminal record. They did that in 9 months.
