US could ask tourists for five-year social media history before entry The plan would affect people from countries, including the UK, who can fill out a form in lieu of a visa.

We need to continue to stand up to this bully and America should not be taking the lead without deep consultation with it's NATO allies.

Maybe it's time for NATO boots on the ground = push back hard against Putin. The Russian military machine is probably at it's weakest for years #UKRAINEWAR

The Trump plan for ending the Ukraine war should be simply unacceptable. It rewards Putin's illegal war with land it doesn't deserve and the lifting of sanctions allowing Russia to rebuild it's economy, ready for his next "special operation"

Dominic Casciani: How deliverable is Reform's plan on migration? A Reform government could see the UK leaving the European Convention on Human Rights to deliver its plan.

It’s not hard for the BBC to explain how unworkable Farage’s migrant policy would be.
