IHere's what Pres.Trump has done for Vladimir Putin since 2017:
🇺🇸➡️🇷🇺 First term
1Stood next to Putin in Helsinki and took his word over U.S. intelligence
2Lobbied to bring Russia back into the G7
3Withheld military aid from Ukraine to squeeze Zelensky (impeachment #1)
4Pulled out of Syria, handing Russia a freer hand
5Openly questioned NATO's mutual-defense pledge
6Lifted sanctions on Deripaska-linked companies, including Rusal
7Walked away from the INF nuclear treaty
8Walked away from the Open Skies treaty, leaving our European allies with less visibility
🇺🇸➡️🇷🇺 Second term
9. Called Russia's G7 expulsion a "mistake"
10. Declared Moscow "holds all the cards"
11. Opened talks with Russia with zero preconditions
12. Berated Zelensky in the Oval Office, then paused aid and intel to Ukraine
13. Halted offensive cyber operations against Russia
14. Had the U.S. vote WITH Russia against a UN resolution condemning the invasion
15. Said "Crimea will stay with Russia"
16. Rolled out the red carpet for Putin in Alaska
17. Pressed Ukraine, not Russia, to give up territory
18. Starshield
19. Diesel
20. Revoke Graham sanctions
That's not "America First."
You could never make that list of things a President has done for Zelensky, or for NATO. Ask yourself why.
This shows what a Reform UK government would look like.
No more freedom of the press.
No scrutiny.
With a party mired in dodgy finances and foreign crypto donations, investigative journalism has never been so important.
STATEMENT:
Reform UK has reported ITV, its board, and its undercover reporters to the police.
Some of the crimes carry up to 10 years in prison.
They forged a passport.
They directly interfered in elections and almost certainly altered the results. Being paid to “canvass” for Reform in crucial wards we lost by a few dozen votes.
They lied to a veteran about their service and left him “violated”.
This is unprecedented.
The police are now involved.
Scrutiny of political parties is one thing.
But anyone breaking the law to try and ruin the lives of Reform’s staff, members or volunteers will be reported to the police and pursued relentlessly in the courts.
Here’s what happened 👇
No one can argue that Brexit was an economic success.
The new red tape is stifling business, leaving us cut off from our closest and largest trading partner.
To be serious about growth means being serious about rebuilding our relationship with Europe.
For veterans, children with SEND, or those with dementia, dogs are not just pets.
They are companions - and can make a remarkable difference to their mental and physical health.
It was brilliant to spend time with Shadow and Akira and learn more about the difference they make.
More Ukrainian lives will be lost as a result of this disgraceful decision.
The Ukrainian front line is our front line, they deserve and need the full support of all Europe and the USA.

Thank you for mentioning Archie - missed by all who knew him. Forever 19. Children and young people’s mental health matters and is underfunded and undervalued.
Be it one fewer player on the school football team, one fewer pair of shoes by the front door or an empty chair at the dining table - the loss of a child to suicide is beyond words.
Charities that support children and their families need fair funding.
Infection is the second biggest killer of cancer patients.
So why is the Government not addressing it? Infection is mentioned once in their 86-page cancer plan.
The Government need to urgently consider infection if they are serious about improving outcomes.
Trump's illegal war has meant that prices for heating oil have sky-rocketed, leaving many local people really worried about winter.
With the Budget coming up, the Government must take action to support rural communities from these price shocks.
With Trump capitulating to Putin, it's even more important that Europe stands together with Ukraine

Russia interfered in the Brexit referendum.
The Prime Minister confirmed this, so what is next? Serious questions need to be asked about what this means for our democratic process.
It is imperative that the government take steps to protect our democracy from the Kremlin.
This from a Tory MP who had 6 leaders in 10 years 🙄

Zelenskyy: "When our strikes reached Yandex data centers, it suddenly became little easier to breathe on many social media platforms. Many people noticed it.
There was less hate, less division, fewer provocations because there were fewer bots. It's pretty clear where those bots were coming from.
If they disappeared when Yandex went offline, this proves once again that Europe is not the source of the problems."
The big problem is that Russia figured out how modern society consumes information a decade ago, but the West hasn't.
There are millions of bots commenting and posting Russian propaganda. There are paid influencers spreading it, with Russian bots supporting their content.
There is a gigantic machine operating to radicalize and influence Western societies, and there is not enough defense in place.
It doesn't just influence elections, it sows discord, engulfs societies in culture wars, radicalizes teenagers, and shapes political decisions when elected officials fail to read the room.
That needs to change. And fast.

Three quarters of Brits are worried about maternity care standards.
Every mother deserves safe care. That's why the Liberal Democrats are calling for urgent action to improve maternity services.
Swipe to read our plan.
It's amazing how little attention Russia's efforts to influence foreign elections gets.
Especially after their efforts to influence the UK Brexit referendum, which is still damaging our economy and politics a decade later.
The only winner in the Brexit referendum was President Putin.
The British people, both leave and remain voters, were the losers.

@campbellclaret and @RoryStewartUK's exclusive interview with @andyburnham on tomorrow's episode of Leading is out in full at midnight.
This is disgraceful.
Trump is throwing Ukraine and Europe under a bus just to get a few more votes in the midterms.
We need to stand united against Russian aggression - both militarily and economically.
"I think it's time for Ukraine to get a new president."
US President Donald Trump hits out at Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, criticising him for targeting Russian refineries and saying he should be replaced.

Utter disgrace. Trump has profoundly betrayed Ukraine and shown clearly whose side he's on. The reason fuel prices are soaring in the US (and here) is Trump's own decision to attack Iran. We are paying the price for this vain, incompetent President.
BREAKING: Donald Trump has thanked Vladimir Putin for providing "the American and global marketplace" with '300,000 tons of diesel'.

This is ridiculous - Ed led is to our best result in 100 years. I won't be signing this letter.

Not a lot surprises me in politics any more but this was a real shock. @EdwardJDavey is the most successful leader electorally in our party's history and has my full support. This move is poorly judged when we should be concentrating on defeating the far right. – at Newhaven, England
