A touch of embarrassment in BrusselsWhile many will welcome the ongoing show of support for Ukraine – and President Zelensky’s London visit – over in Brussels, there’s a touch of embarrassment.
The Ukrainian leader is expected to be here tomorrow to address the European Parliament and meet with leaders from across the 27 member states.Firstly because the rumoured visit was leaked days in advance which is in stark contrast to the president’s US and UK “surprise” visits which were successfully kept under wraps.
Not only is there exasperation that the European Union sieve dripped out such an important secret, the leaks also led to speculation that the visit could be called off because of security concerns.Then there’s the fact that the widely rumoured visit to Brussels *was* being billed as the President’s second overseas trip since Russia’s invasion.
Turns out he had stopovers in London and Paris first. Remember the EU’s most senior figures, Ursula von der Leyen and Charles Michel, were in Kyiv only last week. Some egos, diplomats believe, will be bruised. Especially given Ukraine’s ambition of becoming an EU member by 2026.“If you truly believe that the EU is the destiny of your country, then you would make sure to come here first to signal that importance.”But, make no mistake, Downing Street will be pleased at the order of events and some, within the EU, may be rather miffed.
Two leaches together
This clown, fecking Zelenskyy...
You just know he said: 'So what do you do?'.

Zelensky asked to borrow a pen
And there he is, living The Dream! (Zelensky, not King Charles). 'War hero' meeting a war-time King.
Can’t you just call him ‘the King’ now?
I'm glad you numbered Charles just in case we were confused which one he is.
还是出手了嘛。具体是什么?
Ukraine needs tampons urgently!
🤮
Even more begging for money on the way then

Regenerating People’s Palace remains priority despite funding blow“The decision taken to knock back Glasgow’s bids like the renewal of the People’s Palace while awarding £19 million to the Prime Minister’s affluent constituency will leave a sore taste in the mouths of Glaswegians across the city.” What’s happening to the People’s Palace is a disgrace. While Glasgow Green is cut off from ordinary folk due to an aggressive profit approach from the Council, the Palace and Winter Gardens sees none of that cash and is left to founder amid VIP tents and quaffing Councillors. The peoples palace has been systematically neglected by SNP Glasgow. We shouldn't have to rely on handouts to begin with. Perhaps if we didn't let WHEATLEY buy out half of city building , we would have had the time and resources to maintain this.
