The new management on this site has regrettably done much to degrade and undermine #Twitter, once a useful and informative platform. Like many others, I now do more on #Bluesky

Carole had done her homework and knew it years ago, but nobody wanted to listen. She was always right.
Polite reminder. Trump & Brexit are not 2 different things. They are the same thing. Same companies. Same data. Same Facebook. Same Russians. Same Cambridge Analytica. Same Robert Mercer. Same Steve Bannon. Same Breitbart. Same Alexander Nix. Same Donald Trump. Same Nigel Farage.

“Dear Jonas: Considering your Country decided not to give me the Nobel Peace Prize for having stopped 8 Wars PLUS, I no longer feel an obligation to think purely of Peace…” In 60 years’ reporting, I’ve never seen a message like Trump’s to Norway’s PM. We’ve left the realm of

It is the casual contempt with which he treats allies, including military dead and alive, that so accelerates the contempt for him and for people like Miller and Vance who are pushing him to ever further extremes

Beyond belief that a man with aspirations to lead this country has failed to grasp that viruses mutate and vaccinations need updating. Dangerous unscientific nonsense, as usual.
Farage: "I believe in vaccinations when they're vaccinations. I don't think what happened with Covid were vaccinations. You have to keep having them every 6 months." Conspiratorial nonsense. Some vaccines like Covid shots need seasonal doses as immunity fades & viruses change.

@Nigel_Farage @TimesRadio Maybe you should sit in the Commons and do the actual job you were elected for. If it is beneath you, you can always resign and trot off and get on with the other 11 jobs you do at the same time and let Clacton be represented by someone who actually wants to be an MP

Denmark stood with us on 9/11 when I was Ambassador to NATO. An absolutely stalwart ally. Picking a fight over Greenland a colossal mistake.
People. Trump’s lust for Greenland is not a troll. He will absolutely move on it unless he is stopped or costs are too high. Congressional action, clear public opposition, prospect of military resignations, threat of European sanctions are all relevant. If Europe shrinks from the

A fact that Britain's reactionary Right ignores
@KirstieMAllsopp London streets perhaps are safer now than they have ever been: judging by NHS hospital data (assaults, stabbings etc) murders, etc

Of course he would. No wonder Putin backed him before and is backing him now
Nigel Farage tells @TimesRadio he would ‘vote against’ deployment of British troops to Ukraine: ‘We neither have the manpower nor the equipment to go into an operation that clearly has no ending timeline.’

The number of men losing the plot because I refuse to condemn London as an unsafe place to live and get about in is extraordinary. I have no idea why they so passionately want to malign our capital city but it is deeply disturbing.

No-one will take seriously a weak and divided Europe: neither enemy nor ally. It is already clear now. We must finally believe in our own strength, we must continue to arm ourselves, we must stay united like never before. One for all, and all for one. Otherwise, we are finished.

Out in London nearly every night the last week. 4 music events, a pub quiz, Xmas drinks, birthday party. Stratford, the O2, Kentish Town, Holloway, Soho, Camden, Green Lanes. Never seen the city so busy, people lovely, public transport clean & efficient & I wasn’t murdered once

In Nuuk, I reaffirmed France’s unwavering support for the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Denmark and Greenland. Greenland belongs to its people. Denmark stands as its guarantor. I join my voice to that of Europeans in expressing our full solidarity.

🤡 If Russia were committed to peace in Ukraine, Russia would leave Ukraine.
Over the last two days in Florida, the Russian Special Envoy Kirill Dmitriev held productive and constructive meetings with the American delegation to advance President Trump’s peace plan on Ukraine. The American delegation included Special Envoy Steve Witkoff, Jared Kushner,

When I lived in Copenhagen some 20 years ago, I remember Denmark being a fierce ally of the US and in NATO, contributing troops to both Afghanistan and Iraq. Not only did Denmark pay a high price for their involvement - with one of the highest per-capita losses of soldiers in

This appointment is outrageous. Imagine if Mexico appointed a special envoy to make Louisiana a part of Mexico? Our ally Denmark deserves more respect than this.
Thank you @realDonaldTrump! It’s an honor to serve you in this volunteer position to make Greenland a part of the U.S. This in no way affects my position as Governor of Louisiana!

We continue to stand in solidarity with Denmark and Greenland. Greenland is an autonomous territory in the Kingdom of Denmark. Any changes to that status are for Greenlanders and Danes alone to decide. We expect all our partners to respect their sovereignty and territorial
