This is the most shameful moment of European history since WWII. We've cannibalized our own people and economies in an unwinnable war. Now an American President has the wisdom to end. And we're doing everything we can to stop him. Madness!

It was when they started accusing Jeremy Corbyn of anti semitism that I knew our society had become rotten. I've met him a number of times. I deeply kind and honest man. I mean, going after him for fake corruption scandals, sleeze stories. Ok. Go for it! Call him a communist and

I would like to thank Greta Thunberg. For showing me who all the worst people on the internet are. Those who criticise an activist for trying to raise awareness of the mass slaughter of innocents in war.

A Russian friend told me the other day about her holiday in Budapest years ago. Her and her friends met some Australians at the hotel bar. They were getting on really well. Until they asked her, “you must be really scared to live in Russia?” “No.” She replied mildly confused. “I

Dinner last night with my friend, German journalist, Alina Lipp in Crimea. She can’t return to Germany under threat of 3 years imprisonment. Her crime?

This video breaks my heart. It really does. To see Jeffrey Sachs. Almost in tears. Due to his treatment. He's done everything he could to help Europe. And you have this corrupt Italian senator who doesn't have a clue what he's talking about. Europe is lost.

Italian Senator @CarloCalenda left Jeffrey Sachs literally speechless and shocked by calling him a liar and a propagandist. It happened on Prime Time Italian television. Priceless 🤩 [ENG SUB] (The 2nd part in the next tweet)

Had a fascinating interview with Marianna Vyshemirsky today in Donbass. She was made famous by the pic of her, pregnant in a Mariupol hospital during Russia’s assault on the city. Her story has been kicked around like a propaganda football ever since. It’s a fascinating story…

I love Trump. He's finallly achieved what many of us have been trying to do for years. Make the UK and Europe realise, that the US is not our friend. Just another competitor. Now its times for us to look after ourselves. First thing. Revive relations with Russia and get the

Some time ago I was at a party in London. I got talking with some people about Jeremy Corbyn. I very politely offered, “I don’t think he’s a racist.” One of them stared at me with hateful eyes. “You’re an anti-Semite!” He said. For much of the last year I have been reporting

British liberalism is such a fascinating niche culture. They hate Trump, Putin, JK Rowling and Joe Rogan. They love war and gay rights. They love capitalism. Pretend to care about the poor. But don't really. Its so confusing. Like some kind of psychosis.

During the war in Libya a man walked into my hotel lobby in Benghazi and showed myself and other reporters a handful of viagra pills. He said they were found on Gaddafi’s troops who used them to rape civilians. I scoffed at the story. As a general rule, strange men walking around

Great to hang out with my dear friend Alina Lipp in Donestk. She’s facing three years jail in Germany for her reporting in Donbass. Here’s why her story is important for the future of Europe. Germany has effectively criminalised even talking about peace. 🧵

During the war in Libya, I made friends with a Libyan rebel from Misrata. He told me he was fighting for democracy. After the war I went back and met up with him. As we drove along a dusty desert road, he nodded outside the window. “The n****s used to live there,” he said, with a

I will never forget attending the funeral of 6 year old Alina. Just one of dozens of kids this year, killed by Ukrainian shelling of Donbass. There’s a reason these stories aren’t reported in NATO countries. If people knew, it would change minds…
