We've spent ten years being proved right about all the things the loudest, biggest voices in the UK media insisted, often obnoxiously, we were wrong about. The real kicker is that there's no consolation whatsoever in being correct. Brexit, Putin, Johnson, Truss, Trump, Twitter, Netanyahu etc etc...

Ukrainian intelligence warns:Russia is preparing new massive strikes.

This is not about military objectives,but about breaking people.
They are trying to provoke fear, exhaustion, despair to force submission through cold.
The world should call it what it is: terrorism

Remember when the Tories said privatisation meant efficiency?
Bills up. Pipes bursting. Water gone.
CEO on £400k salary + £104k bonus.
Investment funds shareholders (70% in Canada and Australia) laughing all the way to the bank.
Thatcherism is still poisoning Britain.

President Zelenskyy honestly faces his citizens and offers the right mix of hope and a picture of reality.
He takes risks and walks the tightrope for his nation. He never seeks his glory.
Democratic allies must keep supporting 🇺🇦 in 2026.

6 years of denied opportunities for young people, driven entirely out of resentment and ignorance by Leave voters, achieving absolutely nothing other than wasted potential. And now, mercifully, we're back in the Erasmus programme. It's almost like admitting Brexit offers nothing in any way positive.
They're scared of young people getting a taste for anything continental. First they meet foreigners, then they like them, next they'll have kids with them. Foreign hybrids, not proper stout yeoman servants of the Empire. I (son of an immigrant & married to one) really believe that's how they think.
