I recognise that bank. It was exhausting walking on the shingle when we visited a few years ago. Worth every aching muscle though.

Sir Keir Starmer tells #bbclaurak that after speaking to President Trump, President Zelensky & President Macron, ‘the UK along with France will come up with a plan to stop the fighting, and then we’ll discuss that plan with the US’

Of the scenes in the Oval Office - ‘nobody wants to see that’

Christiane Amanpour of @cnn.com says Trump’s suggestion that the Ukraine minerals deal (which would mean Americans on the ground in Ukraine) would not deter Russia (IE would not ensure lasting peace). #LauraKuenssberg

Starmer is the epitome of cool heads this morning on #LauraKuenssberg on BBC after the gut wrenching scenes from the Oval Office.
Starmer also said he doesn’t trust Putin.

Just saw @vicderbyshire.bsky.social interview the unhinged Qanon shaman on @Newsnight
She was the epitome of professionalism, composure and class. The interview is worth a watch, if only to bear witness to a man trying to rewrite history in the most cringeworthy way.
