Trump says he doesn't believe that NATO would support the United States if they requested it. What does this look like, Donald? British, Canadian, Danish, French and other nations gave their sons and daughters to the defence of America. Does their sacrifice count for nothing?

“We’ve never needed them. We have never really asked anything of them. You know, they’ll say they sent some troops to Afghanistan, or this and that. And they did, they stayed a little back, a little off the front lines” I served in Afghanistan. I saw first hand the sacrifices

As teachers report that too many KS1 children aren't school ready, in nappies and unable to work out what a book is for - let's remind ourselves of how the Department of Education dumbs down parenting & encourages this hands off, who cares let the teachers deal with it attitude.
What would you do with an extra 30 minutes in your day? 🤔 Free breakfast clubs are transforming mornings for 500,000 children - that's 95 precious hours back each year while children get a nutritious start to their day. Part of our Plan for Change ✨

JD Vance isn’t this stupid, so what he’s doing here is deliberate and evil. You don’t just need “some kind of warrant” to enter a home. You need a warrant from the judiciary. He knows this. He knows they’re breaking the law when they enter a home with an administrative warrant.
JD Vance: "Nobody is talking about doing immigration enforcement without a warrant. We're talking about different types of warrants that exist in our system. Typically in the immigration system, those are handled by administrative law judges. So we're talking about getting

Dear Mr Vince. Our poo is stored safely in winter. It’s then put back into the soils which is essential for healthy soil & is safer than any fertiliser. No insecticides spray needed for the crops you rely on. It’s also essential for the beetles, flies and worms and eco system 🐄
We need to get real about sewage from animal farming - cow poo for example. With nearly 10 million cows in Britain, each weighing ten times as much as a typical human and eating 50% more per kg of body weight - we have the equivalent of 150m extra people and their sewage to

Putin’s unprovoked invasion has now cost the Russian people 1.2 million casualties—more than America suffered in all of WWII. He could stop the suffering today. He can barely achieve his most modest battlefield goals. Instead, this former KGB agent continues to cast his people

Our « culture »
The United States cares greatly about the people of Europe and the bonds we share as a civilization. But we want strong allies, not seriously weakened ones. Europe must depart from the culture they've created over the last ten years. Otherwise, they will destroy themselves.

“They stayed a little back, off the front lines.”
Trump on NATO: "I've always said, will they be there if we ever needed them? That's really the ultimate test. I'm not sure of that. We've never needed them. They'll say they sent some troops to Afghanistan and this or that. And they did. They stayed a little back, off the front

“The drama, the neediness, the insistence that owning Greenland was ‘psychologically important for me,’ the demented letter to Norway saying that, because he had not won the Nobel Prize, he might seize someone else's territory—are we meant to forget it all?”

You mean you’re going to try and bully another company which helps save lives in the UK, because you hate its Jewish owners. Of course. Who cares if people die?

3 facts: 1. 457 UK troops were killed in Afghanistan, most in action 2. The US repeatedly did ask other NATO nations to send troops there, and 604 of them also died 3. When it was his turn, Donald Trump dodged the Vietnam draft all 5 times, with a diagnosis of 'bone spurs'

Those of us who’ve not served in the military should be especially respectful of those who have — and pay homage to those who lost their lives in military service. That’s the principle I want Trump to follow. Instead he scorns and demeans those who’ve put their lives on the line
@afneil You critique Trump for not serving with a sense of high moral superiority and then haven't served yourself. Seriously?

🚨 WOW: Trump just called Rep. Thomas Massie, the guy pushing the bill to force release of the Epstein files, a “LOSER” who needs to “see a psychiatrist.” Think about that. He’s not furious at Epstein. He’s furious at the person demanding transparency. Ask yourself why.
