Our freedom is not free, it has been paid for with the heaviest of costs. We must #Remember those who have paid that cost and who continue to step up to guarantee it for us. These people are not only the best of us, they ARE us! Please remember them and support @PoppyLegion

Yesterday I had the pleasure of visiting @RFAMountsBay. 
The Royal Fleet Auxiliary is essential to everything the @RoyalNavy does. Its people sustain our ships, move equipment, support operations and enable the Fleet to remain at sea. 1/3

Typical MAGA interview - MAGA: “He’s for the people, he’s for America, it’s just that simple…” Interviewer: “The right thing about what?” MAGA: “What he should be doing in leadership…” Interviewer: “Name 3 things that he’s doing right” MAGA: “Uhhh…I don’t need to name them like….” “Just like they’re self evident like…” “Uhh…what he does…” “He just….” Interviewer: “Name 3” MAGA: “Uhh….” Truly a brain dead fucking cult.

RFA Recovery❓ Positives building: 💷 - Recent pay deal. 7️⃣ - @RFAFortVictoria likely returning to service as a 7th crewed vessel. 🛠️ - FSS in build @Navantia_UK across Appledore & H&W Belfast. 👨🏻‍🔧 Apprenticeship demand, proving career remains attractive ⬇️ Pre FSS a crewed mix of: - x3 Tides - x2 Bays - Fort Victoria - @RFAProteus To my mind is a credible mix to support operations.
🚢 Huge thank you for the response to our apprenticeship vacancies — due to the exceptional number of applications, these roles are closing to new submissions. We'll be in touch with everyone who applied. Keep following for future opportunities! #RFA #Apprentice #CareersAtSea

🚨 Holy Hell.... this angle shows that the Butler Assassination attempt was 100% FAKED in order to get Trump his triumphant propaganda FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT moment and photo... watch how it was coordinated. Secret Service would never wait for photographers to get into position, and slow play getting Trump to safety. Nope, Trump murdered 2 people to get this photo op.

I don’t know what warped logic drove Putin to blow up a stationary Ukrainian locomotive on the Polish border this morning. What we can say for sure is that this is the kind of random and senseless attack Ukrainians are enduring every day - even on civilian railways. So far Putin has been responsible for the deaths of 1700 staff of Ukrzaliznytsia - Ukrainian Railways. They and their daily passengers are absolutely heroic. When are we going to give them the air defences they need? Why won’t we unfreeze Putin’s cash and give it to Ukraine? There is more than €140 billion in a Belgian bank account - and about £10 billion in London. Britain could show a lead. The Ukrainians are going to win - that much was clear from the last three days in their wonderful country. But we will get this dreadful war over much faster if we all get serious and give them what they need and deserve.

This Australian's reply to Trump's rant about “NATO not being there for America” is perfect. "Mate. You run a country with 600,000 homeless people sleeping on the street tonight. A country where 40% of adults can't cover a $400 emergency without borrowing money. A country where insulin costs more than a car payment and people are rationing it to survive. A country where medical debt is the number 1 cause of bankruptcy. A country where women are dying in hospital car parks because doctors are too scared of abortion laws to treat a miscarriage. You lock up more of your own citizens than any nation on earth. More than China. More than Russia. More than North Korea. The land of the free has 2 million people in cages, and a quarter of them haven't even been convicted of anything. They're just too poor to make bail. Your life expectancy is going backwards. You're the only developed nation where that's happening. Your infant mortality rate is worse than Cuba's. Your kids do active shooter drills between maths and English while you sell the gunmaker's stock to your mates. Your minimum wage hasn't moved in 15 years. You've got teachers working 2 jobs and veterans sleeping under bridges and you just spent a trillion dollars flattening a country that didn't attack you. And you’ve got a convicted felon, adjudicating raping, paedophile protecting, porn star shagging insurrectionist running the biggest dumpster fire war campaign since the Taliban thanked you very much for losing again. And you're calling Greenland poorly run? Greenland has universal healthcare. Free education. One of the lowest incarceration rates in the world. Nobody goes bankrupt there because they got sick. Nobody dies in a waiting room because their insurance said no. 'NATO wasn't there when we needed them." When exactly was that, champ? September 11? Because NATO invoked Article 5 for the first and only time in history FOR YOU. Soldiers from dozens of countries deployed, fought, bled, and died in Afghanistan FOR YOU. Australia wasn't even in NATO and we still showed up. For 20 years. And you pulled out at 2am without telling anyone and left them to deal with the mess. So maybe before you start calling other countries poorly run, have a look at your own backyard, you spray-tanned aluminium siding salesman. The only thing poorly run in this picture is your f----- mouth."

The Red Ensign flies proudly today in celebration of Merchant Navy Day. This year is especially poignant as the keel is laid at Appledore for the newest RFA ship—supporting the RFA’s proud position as the UK’s largest employer of British seafarers. 🇬🇧⚓ #RFA #MerchantNavy #RN

Epstein, a man tied to the most powerful people on Earth, dies in federal custody while Trump was president. Suicide watch removed. Cameras “fail.” Guards falsify logs. New documents show he discussed cooperating with prosecutors DAYS before his death. Hmm, not suspicious at all.
