Nigel Farage showed his true colours as Trump's spokesman in Britain once again.
Zelensky showed courage and integrity in that room - in stark contrast to Farage’s cowardly approach of licking Trump’s boots.

Under the leadership of Cllr Mike Cox, Dep. Council Leader and cabinet member for finance, Lib Dem cllrs have successfully delivered a balanced 2025/26 budget for BCP. This achievement faced minimal opposition from the Conservatives, who'd led the council into deficit during their administration.

Just look how this post is going down on 'X'. Averaging ~10 unhinged replies a minute, many from 'verified' accounts.
Don't think I can continue posting there much longer.
