UK Prime Minister Starmer hugs Zelensky as he welcomes him to 10 Downing Street.

This is how you welcome the leader of the free world.

Whenever you welcome guests, treat them with kindness, grace and respect. Simple as that.

Your dignity honors the bravery of the Ukrainian people.

Be strong, be brave, be fearless.
You are never alone, dear President Zelenskyy.

We will continue working with you for a just and lasting peace.

President Zelenskyy has been one of the greatest leaders of our time, guiding Ukraine through the darkest period of its recent history, rising up to Russia’s unwarranted aggression, being an inspiration to the Ukrainian people and ensuring that Ukraine’s voice is heard on the world stage.

Yes Trump is way out of his depth - we’ve seen that all too clearly since inauguration. The system has unwittingly created a contrivance where two stupid dangerous old men in the form of putin and trump are now able to wield far too much power. Its all so very wrong

Not coming up on my feed particularly- don’t stay away too long

I think it's about time to put some distance between us and America, there was no special relationship it was always one-sided, we need closer ties with the EU, just my opinion, enjoy your Thursday Ian👍

It’s straight from the Trump playbook: Labour is tearing up the machinery of government | George Monbiot If Starmer and Reeves really want a greener, cleaner, wilder nation, then why attack vital state bodies that are already on their knees?, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

“How is the government failing to understand that you can’t implement an ambitious programme of change without robust government bodies? You can’t simultaneously appease corporate lobbyists, the Daily Mail, Times & Telegraph & deliver effective & beneficial policy?” 👏👏 👏@georgemonbiot.bsky.social

Sums just about everything up 😵‍💫

Absolutely spot on from Rory Stewart

Yes - Trump is clearly unstable and no country/trading bloc should allow themselves to be subject to whims. The sensible thing for the ROW to do now is move on until the situation changes.

Are you sure this is a young man? He has boobies

Vesta curry??? Now that’s talking my language 🙈

Pretty much

An electorate bestowing trust on a wealthy felon is absolutely and without doubt a disgrace, particularly now that it’s facilitated by law which no longer can be considered a separate entity. Dangerous times ahead

Farage, Musk and Trump: they crave your attention. Don’t give it to them | Andy Beckett Populist trolling thrives on the oxygen of publicity. It’s on all of us – media and voters – to start looking away Even more than other forms of politics, populism needs an audience. Populist politicians want to be famous personalities, to make…

Farage, Musk and Trump: they crave your attention. Don’t give it to them | Andy Beckett

I don’t think it’s intelligent or well thought out enough to even be about democracy. It’s well below the benchmark that any UK government would in its right mind engage with……

No - none of the above. It’s the moist and fragrant Terese Coffee all the way.
