This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell. This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.
So it seems that Keir Starmer, on top of everything else he’s had to do, has regularly and quietly travelled to Leeds to visit his brother. I’m sure there’s a way to spin this negatively, though.
This is fine when ministers - and crucially civil servants - act in the interests of patients. Sadly history shows they don't. The Mid Staffs inquiry warned of the DHSCs "remoteness" from the system before the Lansley reforms. These plans must not be a return to the old ways.
This should always have been the case.

This prescient article told us the truth of the war in Ukraine, ten years ago. “Having masterminded the coup in February against the democratically elected government in Kiev, Washington's planned seizure of Russia's historic, legitimate warm-water naval base in Crimea failed.…

Why is Trump asking Ukraine to pay back for weapons but not Israel?
Starmer-bashing is popular on here, but listening to him speak now on Ukraine, he puts the American government to shame. For Trump & his sycophants, all is transactional. Whatever you think of Starmer & his policies, & I dislike some of them, he is a man of integrity & decency.
People often describe Trump as the “Art of the Deal”. But anyone who has done business with him knows there is no deal. Don’t think that if Ukraine gives him minerals, or if the EU increases defence spending or Denmark gives Greenland Trump is going to give anything in return.
“We thought this was about defence spending but it’s turned out to be about Trump not really being interested in the defence of Europe.” Former Conservative Cabinet minister Rory Stewart on a dramatic week in US-European relations. #Newsnight
I’d like to introduce you to one of the singular greatest journalist of our age Robert Fisk who worked out of Lebanon for latter parts of his life, who did nothing other than tell the truth. This is a rather long video, but please watch it. The detachment with which the…
Here's @Sir_David_King on the threat to Vietnam and rice production.
In 1875, 11-year-old chimney sweep George Brewster was forced up a flue measuring just 12x7.5 inches. His death, after becoming jammed inside, finally galavanised parliament to act. Never forget what cruelties would be inflicted by greed, were it not for “red tape”.
The award winning reporter, Andrew Norfolk, who broke the grooming scandal says that far from covering up the problem, Starmer made the prosecutions possible
Before the election, did anyone realise we weren't allowed a Labour govt? That even if we elected one, it would be attacked and undermined at every turn to ensure it didn't succeed? I didn't. I feel naive for not realising this, even though I knew Brexit was a far right coup.

I'm not here to advocate for Starmer or Labour, but this from the @FT counters the nonsense that Musk and Ackman are spreading about a country that they know nothing about. Source here: on.ft.com/421zL2S
To close out 2024: Vaccines save millions of lives every year. Raw milk still isn’t safe. Podcasts aren’t fact-checked. Seed oils don’t cause cancer. Everything is chemicals. The dose makes the poison. Using the word “toxic” without context is a red flag of pseudoscience. 1/
