OTD in 2009 Russia reaffirmed commitment to the Budapest Memorandum signed 15 years previously.

Which is why you can trust us on the "peace deal" now proposed.

I will remind you the Government promised this would all be invested in rebuilding infrastructure.

Being challenged by Starmer is like being mauled by a kitten. Brexit’s an utter ongoing disaster. Get your act together Mr Starmer and beat Farage around the head with it. Enough pussy footing around.

Trump has no real peace plan. Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner are in Russia just to make business deals with the Russians to enrich themselves and their friends in exchange for selling out Ukraine and NATO countries.

Migrants, trans and non-binary individuals, disabled individuals, and now neurodivergent individuals. Does Labour have a check list of which already marginalised and vulnerable groups they will go after on any particular day?

Labour are sticking to their ridiculous Brexit ‘red lines’ whilst at the same time acknowledging the enormous harm Brexit has done to the country. 🤔
Cathy Newman, "Can you see a time when a Labour government will advocate joining the EU Single Market and Customs Union?"

Stephen Kinnock, "Brexit has been a huge act of economic self harm"

"But we had red lines in our manifesto around the EU Single Market and the Customs Union"

Doesn't say anything for the political instincts of Number 10 that they were surprised by a positive response to a positive EU agenda.

Doesn't say much for their diplomatic instincts that this came 12 months too late to make a difference to negotiations. www.politico.eu/article/brex...

Putin: ‘Russia is ready to keep fighting until the last Ukrainian dies.’

Western politicians & press: ‘Peace talks have stalled…’

Russia has zero interest in peace. Calling Kremlin demands for Ukrainian surrender ‘peace talks’ is just another way of spreading their propaganda.

The UK has gone quite, quite mad.

It's ridiculous that we (just about) survived 14 years of the Tories, only for Labour to allow the madness to take hold and spread.

Some of the stuff in those bullets is just breath-takingly evil.

And it's not winning Labour ANY votes. Just helping Reform.
