Many Labour MPs back an Australian led ban on social media for under 16s.

America’s ICE age is here…
It wasn’t just the killing of Renee that shocked us
It was watching how rapidly it was defended, what it reveals about ICE & why we never seem to learn the lessons from history
…plus why Americans feel helpless.

The upsides of having a single person negotiate on behalf of Europe regarding Ukraine likely outweigh the downsides.
However, there is currently nothing to negotiate with Russia, as it has shown no willingness to compromise.
Trump’s negotiations have been a complete failure

While we're all watching Venezuela and Greenland:
In late December there was a massive attack on Poland's energy infrastructure - an attempt to cause a blackout in the middle of the winter.
And it turns out - Russia was behind it.
Greyzone aggression in action, again.

Denmark increases its military presence in Greenland, according to Danish media. This is a good move. Denmark is not in a position to fight an all-out war against the U.S., but it can certainly make it a difficult operation with more dilemmas for Trump.

If UK news shows are going to give Nigel Farage a platform to spout this absolute boll**** about Brexit & the vaccine rollout (unchallenged) I’ll happily come back every week to correct it.

I do share both your enthusiasm, and your frustration...
But humbly suggest, lets stop with the "hope it actually happens" etc comments.
Aside from Ukraine's stalwart and resourceful military defence, its economy survives because of EU support.
We should remember that.
