@elonmusk Difficult to work out who is more separated from reality, @elonmusk or @realDonaldTrump?

Reality is hard to accept sometimes

WATCH: Ed Davey, leader of the UK Liberal Democrats, delivers a blistering takedown of Trump in the British Parliament: “President Trump is acting like an international gangster. Threatening to trample over the sovereignty of an ally. Threatening the end of NATO altogether. And now threatening to hit our country and seven European allies with outrageous, damaging tariffs unless he gets his hands on Greenland. This is an incredibly grave moment for the United Kingdom, Europe, and our world. Without provocation or justification, the President of the United States is attacking our economy, our livelihoods, and our national security... The only people cheering him on are Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping.”

1. “I have to take Greenland because Putin is a threat to Arctic Security” But 2. Putin wants peace in Ukraine and that pest Zelensky gets in the way. And now 3. “I would like to have Vlad on the Board of Peace.” “Weird” doesn’t get close

@JMPSimor Doh

Eh?

VERBAL DIARRHEA @realDonaldTrump

@EdwardJDavey If Trump wants to take Greenland by force then the rest of the World should reciprocate by taking Trump’s personal assets, starting with the Trump Turnberry Golf Course. It’s time to let Trump know that he cannot bully the rest of the World.

Starmer needs to finally stand up to Trump. He should visit Greenland and show the world that Britain stands with NATO and stands with our allies when it matters.

@EdwardJDavey Appeasement does not work when dealing with bullies, they see you as weak and pathetic. The only way to deal with a bully is to stand up to them. If Trump hits countries that will not bow down to his will with tariffs then those countries should respond with reciprocal tarrifs.

Remember the days of the old schoolyard when the bigger kids used to take the sweets off the smaller kids…

Donald Trump says climate change is a “hoax” and a “con job”. But at the same time the US position is that they need Greenland because the melting Arctic ice is creating a security risk. At this point, I think it’s pretty clear who the real con artist is.

The Trickster Black-backed jackals are a very ancient species, having inhabited eastern and southern Africa for at least the last 2 to 3 million years. In African folklore, these wolf-like canine’s are often depicted as a cunning and trickster figure. @NikonEurope @WildlifeMag

Eye to eye with a little owl perched on an old fence post. I’m really enjoying the time I’m spending with these local little owls. They may be small in stature but they are big in character. Nikon Z9 and Nikon Z 600mm f/4 TC VR S Lens at 840mm. @NikonEurope @OPOTY

@dornochlassie I had this conversation with the young farmer but he simply replied that his boss had told him to put the mole traps in the ground.

Young farmer putting traps for moles in the field below my house this afternoon. When asked why, he replied because his boss told him too. If it’s not a sheep, a cow or a pheasant then my local farmers will kill. When will the war on our what remains of our wildlife end?

With the weather turning warm and sunny, I’ve spent the past few mornings out at a site near to my home watching and photographing adders as they basked in the early morning sun. Image made from a safe distance with a Nikon Z9 + Z100-400mm f4.5-5.6 lens. @NikonEurope

This is the reality of the ongoing hunting of polar bears for trophies that @wwf @wwf_uk and @PolarBears continue to support. This has to stop. @ChrisGPackham @BornFreeFDN @domdyer70

In June of 1941, Hitler's Army began a rampage through Ukraine, razing towns, unleashing death squads, and massacring Jews by the hundreds of thousands. In one village, four Jewish brothers enlisted in the military, said goodbye to their parents, and walked off to fight the Nazis. By the war's end in 1945, only one of the brothers, named Semyon, was still alive. He returned to find that the Nazis had torched his entire village, burning his parents to death. Semyon's family was dead, and his beloved Ukraine was in ruins. The Nazis had murdered between 1.2 and 1.6 million Ukrainian Jews. Semyon married a fellow Ukrainian Jew who had survived the war by fleeing her city, in which the Nazis had killed 5,000 Jews. Two years later, in that same city, they had a son, Oleksandr, keeping alive the family line that the Nazis had brought a razor's width from extinction. Thirty-one years after that, Oleksandr had his own little boy. That boy was Volodymyr Zelensky, who grew up to become the President of independent, democratic Ukraine. Today, he leads his outmanned, outgunned, ferociously defiant nation against the onslaught of Russia. As Russia dashes itself against the will of his people, Zelensky, the survivor of survivors, summons the resilience of his ancestors. He does not bend. #Zalenski #Ukraine
