BREAKING: Reuters reports that France, Germany, the UK and Ukraine have started working on a joint counter-proposal to the Russo-American 28-point peace plan

Thank you for your support!

I served as our Ambassador in Ukraine for 3 years under Putin’s missiles and drones but resigned when Trump kept appeasing Putin. America does not bow to dictators. It’s not who we are. Here's why this Trump-Putin so-called "peace plan" is a disaster:

Former Finnish PM Sanna Marin put it bluntly: “To end the conflict, Russia must leave Ukrainian territory.” Just one point. Nothing more to discuss.

I held a joint call with President of France @EmmanuelMacron, Prime Minister of the United Kingdom @Keir_Starmer, and @bundeskanzler Friedrich Merz. I am grateful for their principled support for Ukraine and for all our people. We discussed the plan for peace for Ukraine and all

There will be an Arsenal v Real Madrid analysis piece coming soon :) Chloe Kelly put in 14 crosses in the 62 minutes she was on the pitch. Arsenal have averaged 48% success in aerial duels in the WSL this season. It was 66% v Real. Arsenal targeted them aerially and that will be

Laura Kuenssberg was planning to do a Covid special on Sunday, interviewing Johnson, Hancock and Cummings but she emailed the questions in advance so it’s been cancelled. A reminder, Cummings said the only reporter he spoke to at the height of the pandemic was LK. #bbcnews

Nathan Gill, the former leader of Reform UK in Wales, has been jailed for 10 and a half years for taking bribes as part of a pro-Russia influence campaign. Gill was paid thousands of pounds to make speeches in the European Parliament, where he was an MEP from 2014 to 2020 - as

😡 Brexiteer Tim Martin spent years telling Britain that Brexit would “boost democracy and prosperity”. Today? Wetherspoons is routing its entire EU expansion through Ireland to avoid the Brexit red tape *HE* helped create. The loudest Brexiteer in hospitality now needs the EU

Putin was in danger of failing in his Ukraine war. Now the US peace plan gives him everything he wants — even the parts of the Donbas his troops were incapable of winning. Ukraine, the injured party in this war, gets absolutely zero.

Ignore the ‘energy bills stay steady’ headlines. Electricity unit prices are up by 5% and standing charge up by 2% while gas unit prices are DOWN by 5.6% but standing charge up by 3.1%, (DD customers). Need to use a lot of gas to offset other rises. Bad news for all-electric

Chancellor confirms England will remain only country in UK where most adults under age 60 are charged for NHS prescriptions as she freezes the cost at £9.90 per item from April to avoid hitting a tenner. Always check exemptions, failing that see if prepayment cert will save money

Left: Conservative MP Joe Robertson repeats the lie that we got the vaccine first because we left the EU Right: Dr June Raine says UK vaccine program ran while the UK was still legally within the EU and under EU law Why are so many Conservative MPs liars?

In a new development, it’s now becoming clear that the Cherwell illegal waste dump is not an isolated incident, but rather the most publicly visible sign of a growing national scandal. In answer to a question by a member of the House of Lords, @DefraGovUK admitted that there

I asked the Chief Executive of the Environment Agency why Hoads Wood in Kent had 30 tonnes of waste dumped by trucks before a gate was FINALLY locked by the EA. Criminal gangs cannot be allowed to ruin our green spaces like this. @CommonsEFRA @rescuehoadswood

50 private schools having closed since January when @RachelReevesMP slapped VAT on them. It was claimed that the £££ raised would fund extra teachers and a better education in state schools. Any evidence of that? Was it ring-fenced? Or is it going into the general pot to pay
