I’m gradually migrating over to @annettedittert.bsky.social. Thanks for all the fun and interesting times here - really! I learnt a lot and made wonderful friends. The rest is history, I guess…

Trump: "I said to Putin, would you mind if I gave some Tomahawks to your opposition.." All you need to know. He still is afraid of Putin. And Ukraine is not some "opposition".
🚨MAJOR BREAKING: In an absolutely stunning admission, Trump says he checked with Putin FIRST about sending Tomahawk missiles to Ukraine. This is absolutely outrageous on every level. We don’t have to wonder if Trump is a Putin stooge. He tells us.

Die BILD mittlerweile offenbar auf 'Daily Mail' Niveau. Und das ist nicht gut.
Nein, BILD! 🤨 Nicht mit einem Satz habe ich jemals gefordert, dass die Brandmauer fallen soll. Was ich sage: Der parlamentarische Umgang mit der AfD ist gescheitert, wir geben ihr zu viel Macht. Es muss den Parteien der Mitte egal sein, wenn die AfD ihren Vorhaben zustimmt.

Really poor from the PM not to back the police on what should be a simple public order question on Maccabi Tel Aviv fans at Aston Villa. Obviously MPs of far right and left are fanning the flames, best a government doesn't

Fans of Maccabi Tel Aviv will not be allowed to attend the Europa League match at Aston Villa on 6 November owing to safety concerns

Why is this not in the major papers ? Why are they trying to hush it up Are the billionaire newspaper owners trying to help Farage ?
Still waiting for this story to be run by all the major papers in Britain.

If Trump says he isn’t going to take questions from ABC, why wouldn’t everyone walk out in solidarity like the Pentagon press is doing? This is acceptable to the rest of you? You could be next.

The former leader of @reformparty_uk in Wales, Nathan Gill, has pleaded guilty to accepting bribes from Putin’s Russia. Not once, but 8 times. If these are the friends @Nigel_Farage keeps, can he really be trusted to run the country?

That’s how you end interviews with chronic liars. Well done. I wish we had had more of that in the U.K. during Brexit.
STEPHANOPOULOS: It's not a weird left-wing rabbit hole. I didn't insinuate anything. I asked you whether Tom Homan accepted $50,000, as was heard on an audiotape recorded by the FBI in September 2024. And you did not answer the question. Thank you for your time this morning.

Über ein Christentum im Kampfmodus. Woher die religiöse Rechte kommt und wie gefährlich das für Europa werden könnte. Sehr gute and v timely Analyse. 👇👇 @RBingener
In den Vereinigten Staaten fällt die Kluft zwischen den Parteien immer stärker mit einer religiösen Kluft ineinander. Diese Entwicklung hält eine Lehre für Europa bereit, kommentiert @RBingener

I'm sure BBC investigative documentary strand Panorama is even now working on an incisive exposé of Reform's financial links to Russia and it's just that they haven't announced it publicly yet

Why are the main stream media burying this story ?
It really is important that we get #NathanGill trending on here, tbh. 8 counts of the kind of behaviour that, in another era, would have been called High Treason, as reported by our Counter Terrorism police. Share this far and wide #ReformCrooks

Well done @ZackPolanski - finally the name Nathan Gill gets heard on BBC! Perhaps other media could now understand why this is such a big story instead of covering for NBF Nigel

So the world isn’t completely nuts yet.
In the past year, #NobelPeacePrize laureate Maria Corina Machado has been forced to live in hiding. Despite serious threats against her life she has remained in the country, a choice that has inspired millions of people. When authoritarians seize power, it is crucial to

Der deutsche Blick auf GB ist von jeher durch Mythen, Kitsch und Sentimentalitäten verstellt. Auch deshalb weil die Engländer sich gerne selbst so sehen. Die Realität sieht ein wenig anders aus. Ein sehr kluges Stück von Eva Ladipo. @FAZ_Feuilleton

Die britische Demokratie ist uralt. Sie gilt als sagenhaft stabil und immun gegen irrationale Emotionen. Damit ist es nun vorbei.

Very significant
🚨 Tucker Carlson just turned the gun around. Tucker Carlson is now accusing Trump’s regime of using Charlie Kirk’s assassination as a pretext to: - Abolish the First Amendment - Round up Americans - And Nazify the country Yes, Tucker said that. And for once… he’s not wrong.
