I've had enough of Musk's bollocks - X has just become a hate filled pit and waste of time .. so its time to say "goodbye" to the haters, racists, flag-shaggers and the Faragistas

“The Americans are being played,” British historian Sir Antony Beevor told Sky News. He says Putin is manipulating the White House and views Trump as a “useful idiot” advancing Moscow’s goals, especially on Ukraine.

Shamina Begum must be held accountable for her actions when she was 15. Whereas I should not, because I was a mere child.

Donald Trump is a Kremlin stooge who wants to sell out Ukraine and the rest of Europe to Putin. We can't let that happen. Starmer should seize frozen Russian assets in this country - today - and convince Merz and Macron to do the same.

BREAKING: Jared Kushner gets caught performing illegal “diplomacy” on behalf of Trump in a shady backroom overseas. In the latest installment of The Trump Family Treats America Like a Side Hustle, Jared Kushner — the president’s globe-trotting, conflict-of-interest machine — quietly jetted off to Moscow this week to negotiate “peace” with Vladimir Putin. But according to a bombshell investigation by Popular Information, the trip wasn’t just corrupt. It was flat-out unconstitutional. Here’s the scandal in one sentence: Kushner is literally acting as America’s top diplomat while being paid tens of millions of dollars by foreign governments with massive stakes in the very deals he’s negotiating. Kushner sat across from Putin with no official title, no Senate confirmation, no legal authorization — just himself, a Trump ally named Steve Witkoff, and a translator. Under the law, that makes Kushner a “Special Government Employee” whether he wants the title or not. And that triggers the Constitution’s Foreign Emoluments Clause. That clause says U.S. officials cannot accept money from foreign governments. Yet Kushner is raking in a staggering $25 million a year from the Saudi sovereign wealth fund alone, with hundreds of millions more coming from Qatar and the UAE through his private equity firm, Affinity Partners — the one foreign governments invested in despite warning that Kushner had “inexperience” and was charging “excessive” fees. Now Kushner is using his unofficial–official power to help craft a 28-point Ukraine “peace plan” that just so happens to include a key Saudi priority: ensuring that grain shipments — tied to Saudi-owned agricultural companies in Ukraine — keep flowing smoothly across the Black Sea. So let’s be very clear. The president’s son-in-law is being paid by foreign governments while secretly negotiating with Vladimir Putin on America’s behalf. And remember — Kushner promised in 2024 that he would not return to the Trump administration. He lied. And now our foreign policy is being run out of a private equity firm stuffed with Saudi cash. Donald Trump didn’t drain the swamp. He turned it into a Pay-to-Play International Water Park — and put his billionaire son-in-law in charge of the rides. Please like and share to spread the news.

The perverse old man from Moscow threatened to cut Ukraine off from the sea if Kyiv continues its acts of piracy against Russian ships. The dictator also declared that Europe is hindering Trump's peace process and that all its proposals are aimed at Russia, which it does not accept. He added that Russia does not intend to fight against European countries, but if Europe were to start a war, Russia would be ready "right now." "Russia is acting surgically in Ukraine; this is not a war, but in the event of an attack by Europe, it will be different," the Russian dictator summarized his latest nonsense. Putin also immediately displayed the Russian units ready to attack Europe at a moment's notice.

The petition calling for an inquiry into Russian influence in British politics is up to 110k. Let's make it grow a lot bigger. We now are facing the real possibility that an agent of Russian influence might become PM, and it is obvious that without Russian interference Brexit would never have happened. In a close-fought contest, all that Russia needed to do was indirectly influence 2% of the electorate, and it did far more than that through Farage and Arron Banks, and the Tory Brexiters taking Russian money. We also shouldn't forget that Corbyn has often taken positions favouring Russian foreign policy. Please repost and share the petition as often and as widely as possible. petition.parliament.uk/petit…

I’m just an ordinary Ukrainian soldier, and I don’t understand: Why are American politicians🇺🇸 aggressively pressuring Ukraine🇺🇦 to make peace, instead of pressuring the aggressor - Russia🇷🇺?! Why does the United States🇺🇸 have a long list of demands for Ukraine🇺🇦 but none for Russia🇷🇺? Why do American politicians speak politely with dictator #Putin, yet harshly with democratically elected President #Zelenskyy? Why?

If Nigel Farage wanted to investigate Russian infiltration into Reform, he’d have done it already. It’s time the Prime Minister launched a national investigation.

I reckon being a 'journalist' at the Express would shatter one's credibility ... thank you !
“Strongest immigration plan we’ve seen?” You are delusional Madam!!! Everything he has done re immigration has failed. And the fact you don’t see he absolutely IS an empty showman who has repeatedly lied to us shatters YOUR credibility!!!

Well done, Moldova!
Moldovan officials took the Russian drone that had crashed onto a residential house and placed it right in front of the Russian embassy 😀

My attendance record in the European Parliament was the 4th worst out of 751 MEPs, yet I managed to turn up to vote AGAINST plans to tackle Russian misinformation. Thankfully this is of no interest to the media.

I implore someone, anyone, in the media… Do your job And the next time you have Farage on, please ask him directly: …what were the motivations behind this?

Nigel Farage is here pictured with Nadia Sass, the wife of Oleg Voloshyn, the Russian spy who paid bribes to the traitor Nathan Gill, the former Reform leader in Wales. Farage and Reform claim there's nothing untoward...

Here are Farage and Gill parroting the same Russian propaganda lies in the European Parliament on September 16th 2014. The hesitant manner in which Gill reads his speech suggests that he's just been handed it. If that's the case, who wrote it, and who gave it to him, the Russians or Farage? And why were both of them parroting Russian propaganda? – at Brighton, England
