This is both funny in that Trump is acting like a child about famous people who don’t like him but also terrifying in that he is using his powers to try and punish people who went against him

Johnson put a border in the Irish Sea, sold out the fishing industry, all SMEs trading with the EU, our farmers, universities, musicians, young people, scientists, all of us… And now he sits in the mess he made throwing insults at those who are clearing up after him. What a monumental piece of shit.

"Quite why their minds went in this direction is for psychiatrists to explain, though it is of course possible they’ve misread the coverage, and believe the government has negotiated away Britain’s fisting rights." Wahey!

For all the blanket coverage it's getting today you wouldn't know that fishing contributes a grand total of 0.03% to the UK's economy, or that it is absolutely dwarfed by many other sectors, like the live music industry, which have been badly hit by Brexit but are rarely even mentioned

"The big revelation for me was how much the country was being run by 22-year-olds. Cabinet ministers were bringing in these junior spads because they thought they were so clever and bright but actually they were just confident. They’d never ... bought a house or really done anything complicated."

Farage: “The original agreement was shocking, and it’s been an uphill battle ever since.” I'm old enough to remember Farage standing down his party to step in 100s of Tory constituencies in 2019 to ensure Johnson gov't was in a position to deliver this "shocking agreement".🧐~AA

something that i think is important here is to zero in on the word "democracy" because for too long this concept, in popular imagination, has been flattened into "voter preferences" and not all the important trappings of Constitutionalism

Donald Trump's plan to accept a $400 million jet from a foreign government is corrupt and unconstitutional. He’s making deals for himself while making life less affordable for you.

Huge thank you to the US and UK teams for putting this utterly ambiguous line in the text, so we all get to enjoy weeks of wild speculation. My best guess is they didn't actually agree a list but didn't want to delay the big VE day announce party and are hoping it all works itself out.

Even after today’s deal, Trump’s terrible tariffs will still be hitting British jobs and businesses hard. The only way we will end Trump's damaging trade war is by standing tough with our allies across Europe and the Commonwealth.

Putinist musicians - the Turetsky Choir and the women's ensemble Soprano - performed on May 5 at the assembly hall of the UN General Assembly in New York, USA. This is shocking. In the same day, Russia continued shelling Ukrainian cities, killing and injuring civilians.

Brexiter Steve ‘hard man’ Baker says Labour’s trade deal with India is great news, “furthering free trade in the national interest outside the EU” But Steve doesn’t say that a customs union deal with the EU would be 20 times bigger. Or, of course, what Tory EU-phobia has already cost us.
