At least agent Krasnov had the presence of mind to keep his KGB codename secret for 40 years.

Agent 'Boris' on the other hand, liked his so much he started using it as his dating alias...so it stuck.

@br00t4c Musk is as deranged as his master.

If, in a comercial mediation, the mediator announced that one of the two parties would be involved in due course but "not yet" the mediation would be dead in the water.

Nobody. But nobody, participates in a mediation in which the outcome has already been privately agreed upon between the mediator & one of the parties.

The Trump administration have not the faintest idea what they are about.

Ah but this is different, they may say. No, it really isn't.

Britain was just the petri-dish.

Voter ID, deportations, rule by decree, attacks on Judiciary, othering, eviscerating environment & public health agencies, cronyism, #Brexit...

#Tory think tanks running on dark dollars ran the MAGA programme for them to see what happened. By the time the UK electorate kicked the Tories out, nothing worked but they had bankrupted us anyway.

But ideologues not interested in administration or governance MUST have been what we'd wanted...

#RejoinEU

How can it be that the US electorate (half of it) looked over at the lived experience of Russian citizens after thirty years of rampant oligarchy, and concluded, "That looks fun - we'll have some of that!" ?

Some smart person in Powys cinched it, some time ago. "Brexit was the equivalent of having your library burned down by people who can't read."

"The Brexiteers are in raptures".

On Trump 's likely trade deal terms. Entry for awful US food. And the consumption by their health insurance and pharmaceutical companies of the NHS.

"He [Starmer] should admit that for the next four years at least, the special relationship is dead and that our future lies in alignment with Europe".

Jonty Bloom. The New European.

#Trump kicked over the Paris Climate accords, to give the finger to climate scientists & governments worldwide trying to implement responsible policies, in a gesture of utmost petulance & infantile lack of maturity & understanding, that declared the US to be an unreliable partner for any meaningful purposes whatsoever for the duration of his tenure. Re-election would represent a global disaster, & the de facto end of US leadership of what remains of the Free World.

"Rich ready to quit UK.." 👇
Bamford, Warburton, Dyson, Martin, Hargreaves, Ratcliffe, Hester, Odey, Banks....those rich? The ones that got themselves rich in our society, using our workforce and infrastructure, then conspired with Farage & Gove to confiscate British Citizens' rights of European free movement, & whine about paying tax? More money than sense, & utterly selfish. Let the fleet of private jets set their course for Kigali. They won't be missed.

Hey Cooperative retail store, how is it my new-season raspberries are coming from Morocco this year, and not from Tayside? Could it be because the moronic Tory #Brexit loons chased away the seasonal pickers for reasons of pointless performative xenophobia?

Thought so.

#EnglishNationalistsOut

One of the many lies Gove/Johnson 's Vote Leave used to scare the gullible into their nets in the 2016 referendum on EU membership was a completely fabricated threat of conscription.

The 18 year olds that the Tories now want to force into service were ten years of age then.

They are old enough to vote now. Why does it fall to them to unpick the stupidities of their grandparents?

#EnglishNationalistsaretheextremists

@evacide We Brits had the option to take up residence in 27 states, our nearest neighbours.

No visas. No lawyers" fees. No downpayments. No time limits. No queueing. No begging officialdom.

Our UK Government confiscated that right, and continues to prate to us that it has thereby bestowed "benefits" upon us.

Our fury smoulders. We will exact electoral vengeance on the #EnglishNationalists.
