Good on Zelensky refusing to apologise.

Trump is being very quiet (isn't he?).
He's probably playing golf though.

Just thinking that Starmer is doing a sterling job and wouldn't it stick in Trump's craw if Starmer won a Nobel peace prize...

Win the peace prize? By warmongering?

Cleverley, Wallace and Gale tweeting support for Starmer (the latter do need to check their spelling of Keir)

Do you know what’s more interesting than this? My lambing.

Notonthestairs · 02/03/2025 21:36

Your lambing requires a coalition of EU leaders? Amazing.

PickAChew · 02/03/2025 21:37

It's a hectic time of year, @derxa - would you be able to share some pics by way of tax for our next thread?

pointythings · 02/03/2025 21:38

Ooooh yes, lamb tax!

It requires a coalition of DS my shepherdess me and the vet. HTH. 🤣

I’ll try.

I’ll try.

That would be lovely. Lambs are so gorgeous.

That sounds like the best kind of politics. How's your DH doing? Sending recovery vibes for him.

He’s not so good. Small steps. I’m watching the lambing remotely

pointythings · 02/03/2025 21:45

@derxa I'm so sorry to hear that.

DuncinToffee · 02/03/2025 21:48

Sorry to hear that derxa, it can't be easy for you either

Thanks for all your well wishes. It means a lot. We’ll get through the other side as we always do. 💕

BIWI · 02/03/2025 22:05

Lovely to think about lambs, but sorry about your DH @derxa

BIWI · 02/03/2025 22:06

@Quierounlibro you're not here as a genuine poster, are you?

Warmongering? WTAF?

@BIWI - I really wouldn't bother to engage. They'll get bored if nobody bites.

PickAChew · 02/03/2025 22:18

It's a long road, @derxa but hopefully not too bumpyFlowers

BestIsWest · 02/03/2025 22:34

Yes, good luck with the lambing and best wishes to your DH @derxa

cardibach · 02/03/2025 22:38

Yes, @derxa i hope the lambing is straightforward, you get some sleep and your DH recovers quickly.

I reckon that poster may have been shown the door.

@derxa good luck with the lambing and hope your DH improves soon.

There are some very powerful images coming out of today's meeting - Western Allies meeting together without the USA.

The USA is out on a limb now - it seems strange to have all these allies but the USA not being involved. It does feel a bit like the EU without the UK. We are stronger together.

Absolutely agree with this. Starmer has been the leader in all of this.

However we must assure the Baltic States of our full cooperation to.

@derxa goddess speed to you and your family x. Lambing season is so fraught and beautiful at the same time.

Once when in Wales at the in-laws during an early Easter, many, many years ago, Iwe went on a drive and witnessed twin lambs being born in a remote field. We drove to the nearest farm and informed them. It was cold and snowing. So the wee lambs wouldn't have lasted the night.

Zelenzkyy on most front pages, apart from the Star where he has been relegated to a small corner by a thing about the weather.

Well folks, your lad Starmer has done us all proud this weekend.👏👏👏 I had a wee tear in my eye when he welcomed Zelensky on Saturday.
