Immigration makes Britain brilliant.

Here’s how Trump talks to democracy — and how he talks to authoritarianism. And this man is the President of the United States.

The center of Bakhmut today, three years after the end of the bloody battle for these ruins, the Verdun of our era. Just a few years ago, this was a well-kept and thriving Ukrainian city of 70,000, famous for its fountains, its long traditions of producing famous local salt and sparkling wine. It had the Atlantic Hotel, widely known across Donbas. It had good cafes, sushi bars, restaurants, cozy flower-lined alleys. Now, there's nothing but death, ruins, emptiness, and time that has stopped here forever. Now this is the "Russian world," and of course, there will never be any life here again.

This Ukrainian soldier finally returned home after spending 730 days at war. I stand with Ukraine 🇺🇦

The media celebrated a russian “ceasefire” this week. Then Ukraine suffered the worst air attack since 2022. While russia turns up in Venice Time to stop pretending Russia wants peace. It will only be stopped when it’s sanctioned into the abyss & kicked out of the civilised world

Wes Streeting, "Leaving the European Union was a catastrophic mistake" "The Vote Leave campaign deluded itself into thinking the UK could forge a global free trade nirvana as if we still had the East India company at our disposal" "They were totally blind to the zero sum world the extreme right were creating, a dog eat dog world of dictators and oligarchs, where middle powers going it alone is a fantasy" "It's left us less wealthy, less powerful, and less in control than at any point before the industrial revolution" "We can no longer afford to be silent about it, we must remake the argument" "In 2026 the British people increasingly see that in a dangerous world we must club together. Both to rebuild our economy and trade and to improve our defence against the shared threats of Russian aggression and the retreat of America first" "The biggest economic opportunity we have is on our doorstep" "We need a new special relationship with the EU" "Because Britain's future lies within Europe, and one day, back in the European Union"

«Забирайте наших хлопців! Вони там дуже страждають. Просто забирайте наших хлопців! Їх там ще багато залишилося. їм дуже важко»: слова захисника Маріуполя, якого щойно повернули з російського полону.

Sienna came into us in November. Endless puppies and then a brutal life on the streets alone and sick. She used to stare at the wall. In just over 2 weeks she travels to her forever home in Wales. She says she’s a little nervous but thinks it might be nice ❤️

Вдячна дружині Прем’єр-міністра Великої Британії Вікторії Стармер за теплу зустріч на Даунінг-стріт разом із колегами з інших країн. Ми обмінялися досвідом під час навчальної програми в LSE, яка може поліпшити життя наших суспільств. Також сподіваюся на участь пані Стармер у шостому Саміті перших леді та джентльменів, що об’єднує міжнародні зусилля заради фізичного й ментального здоров’я людей у всьому світі.
