European to my bones and furious that I was deprived of my EU Citizenship. Brexit degraded UK. It was Putin's testbed for using Trump to degrade USA. Brexit is STILL a crime scene. Christian. #RejoinEU. #NAFO. LibDem🔶 (for now!) Substack @ianward30

This reminds me of the (true) story of a bigoted woman insisting that she be attended to by a British nurse, not a coloured one, and was told: "You'll have to wait until next Wednesday when she's on again". 😳

Here's a French video (with English subtitles) about what would happen if the far-right racists got their way and all foreigners and people of colour were forced to leave.

As predicted, unions are going to be kicking themselves for opposing a donation cap. There is no way they can compete with this. One guy, giving more than 16x what the three biggest unions gave Labour over the past year, in one go. They don't stand a chance.

Early this morning, russians shelled the city of Chornomorsk in the Odesa region. An apartment building was destroyed and three others were damaged. In addition, a hotel building. Day after day, year after year... The russians do… the world watches… and that’s how we live in this world.

"While we have the opportunity, we will keep going to the Ukrainian towns and settlements in the Donbas where help is needed the most. While we can help, we will keep helping. Donbas is Ukraine 🇺🇦.» This is Shabelkivka, a settlement in Ukraine, in the Donetsk region.

The world is a strange thing. As soon as we let something into our lives, it always gains momentum and scale. We didn't invite war here, but the russians forced it to our doorstep. Yes, this is a human world, and we Ukrainians are right at the epicentre of these events.

This is one of the many buildings in the city of Odesa tonight. Burning because russia wants it this way. The very essence of all the injustice in this world. Why are we, Ukrainians, forced to see this at night in our cities...

Five C-17s delivered King Donald the Mad’s Secret Service motorcade to Ireland: Cadillac SUVs, anti-drone systems, assault vehicles and emergency equipment – all for a 2-day trip including the Irish Open at his own Doonbeg golf resort. And US taxpayers pick up the bill for his private event.

The Chief Rabbi can’t have it both ways: he can’t both condemn those conflating UK Jews with Israel, and then do it himself by claiming UK policy towards Israel will harm UK Jews. Either UK Jews are distinct from Israel, or they’re not. Which is it, Rabbi? www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Miliband rejects chief rabbi’s claim that West Bank sanctions put UK Jews at risk

Foreign secretary says Sir Ephraim Mirvis wrong to suggest measures against Israeli settlements will make British Jews less safe

The chief architect of Brexit knows it is a failure. The madness of his mate Donald has made our isolation even more disastrous. Burnham has the mandate for a reset with the EU. He needs to get on with it urgently. www.theguarcommentisfree/2026/sep/09/...
