Fucking Liz Truss as foreign sec, at a time such as this. Why couldn’t it be anyone else?
Early rising UK members who have free time, use your free time to **write an email to the office of your MP** asking them why UK sanctions against Russia, Belarus and the Russian occupation zones of Abkhazia, Donetsk, Luhansk, Transnistria and South Ossetia have been so light.
* Why are large numbers of Putin-connected, Lukashenko-connected and Putin puppet-connected people and organisations that have been sanctioned by other countries not been sanctioned by the UK?
* Why have no secondary sanctions been put forward on people in organisations that are aiding the Russian and/or Belarusian government and military, or those of Russian puppet occupation zones, while based in other countries?
* Why has the UK not put forward plans to, with other European countries, establish more nuclear power plants as well as gas pipelines that aren’t reliant on Russia and/or Belarus?
* Why isn’t the UK pushing to expel the Russian, Belarusian and occupied zone banking systems from the global interbank communication system SWIFT? Why are our NATO allies not also pushing for this?
* Why isn’t the UK pushing to remove the Russian Federation’s permanent seat on the United Nations Security Council? Why are our NATO allies also not pushing for this?
* Why are there direct flights available from the UK to Russia right now? Why are there one-stop flights available from the UK to Belarus right now?
* Why didn’t the UK offer to help evacuate other nationalities from Ukraine, such as bringing some of the 20,000 Indian nationals in Ukraine to India, in exchange for their governments covering the costs of the flights? This has been a massive failure in international diplomacy.
* Why don’t there seem to be any plans by Parliament to expertly assess what the successes and failures of the last few months of our approach to Ukraine, Russia, Belarus and the Russian occupation zones have been?
This situation is well above the abilities of our government frontbench, they were out of their depth in calm times and have shown throughout Covid they cannot handle responsibility. The Russian paid party better not kowtow to their Russian donors to do something stupid.
And no Boris, now is not the time for another party.
Gonna do anything about it? No, of course not.
Putin’s doing this because he knows no-one will stop him. Nothing short of military force will stop him from invading Ukraine but that’s not going to happen because no-one wants this conflict to escalate. And Putin knows this.
Putin will absorb the losses from sanctions as Russian tanks continue rolling westwards, and the west is powerless to stop him.

Let’s hope she isn’t asked to make an announcement while pointing at a map of where the conflict is taking place
Strip every single russian asset over a million. Fuck them.
Well now I feel safe….. can’t believe these fuckin clowns run our country
I feel like Liz Truss would probably say the same thing if Russia was marching into London. This is disgraceful we need to act with full force now or Putin will never learn.
Jesus Christ, one of the highest stress moments in modern foreign affairs and Liz fucking Truss is in charge of it.
Fuck me.
Lizz Truss is a fucking idiot and it’s embarrassing she is in our government at this critical time.
Can she pick a position? Donations from Russia are fine. Lording prominent Russians is fine. Russia doing what it’s threatened to do, that *you* downplayed – is a moment for shocked Pikachu?
No doubt China is looking on, licking its lips whilst assembling a task force to invade Taiwan.
Whilst I accept Boris had nothing to do with this. It is an awfully convenient war. Completely moved the headlines. Even Starmer yesterday was not responding to Boris bait questions as wanting to show unity.
Credible sources say they’re going to crack down hard with the sanctions.
As drastic as it sounds, they may even block *another 3 peoples bank accounts*.
Gasp.
Truss should probably stop accepting donations from Russian oligarchs eh
Liz Truss is our foreign minister during a European war. Astounding. Just all out, total woo.
Funny how Johnson has picked this moment, when all eyes are focused on Ukraine and Russia and questions are being asked about Tory party donors, to start talking about parties.
Oh fuck off. Putin watched to see how the west would respond and it was the bare minimum if that. The EU probably did the most, then the US but by far the worst were the sanctions from the UK.
Doesn’t condemn it enough to stop taking money off the fucking Russian crooks who instigated it though, do they?
We’re just going to sit silently by and watch while authoritarian despotism sweeps across Europe because they gave the tory part 30 quid.
Just a brief reminder that the Tory party was under Russian influence even after Russian agents poisoned someone on UK soil.
This bunch of grasping crooks won’t do anything to punish Russia.
“Russian funded Conservative MP Liz Truss” to give her her official title
Start squeezing the Oligarchs today. Seize London property and assets and keep doing it.
But of course the Tories won’t.
The British people need to take to the streets to take down this Russian-backed government. Stop being so apathetic for once.
We need to drastically increase our military support of Ukraine
I just had a mental image of David Brent going, “Oooh, you’re hard.”

[24 hours ago this same woman wasn’t sure if there really was going to be an invasion or not.](https://news.sky.com/story/russia-invasion-status-is-ambiguous-says-foreign-secretary-24-hours-after-health-secretary-said-it-had-begun-12549309)
These people running the government are out of their depth within the shallow end of the pool.
Ukraine: ***exists***
Russia: And I took that personally.
Also what is with the shitty sanctions? Tighten the fucking noose a little there, BoJo.
